“As the old joke goes, a conservationist is someone who already own a vacation home in the mountains. An evil developer is someone who wants to. That joke characterizes the immigration debate too. Those of us whose ancestors came to America for a better life effectively own the vacation home in the mountains. The Mexicans are those who want to......Let us not forget that Jesus, Joseph and Mary were immigrants, illegally fleeing their king when they fled to Egypt. “
Really...you’re going to excuse this ILLEGAL incursion on ‘bibical principals’? Pathetic!
What about that commandment...”You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
There are DOZENS of biblical quotes against illegal immigration and admonishing aliens to follow the law.
[snip]The whole concept of lawful versus unlawful entry into our nation also the foundation of Arizonas new SB-1070 — is based on principles of property rights that flow from the 10 Commandments. Those who violate our immigration laws by jumping the fence are stealing rights of citizenship (to live and work in America) and, in essence, coveting and stealing their neighbors property.

BTW...I owned a home in the mountains...got run out by armed illegal alien drug cartels growing dope on your public lands!
“We are a nation if immigrants that, for the last 160 years, does not have a good track record of welcoming immigrants.”
More nonsense. The United States allows more legal immigrants than the rest of the world COMBINED! Many of whom have been very difficult to deal with...like the IRISH and the Italian crime syndicates!
"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." - John 13:34
How much did Jesus love us?
