MEXICO CITY – Gov. Jerry Brown suggested Monday that Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s ordering of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to address the surge in border crossings is misguided, urging politicians instead to heed the “religious call … to welcome the stranger” in addressing the crisis.

“This is a human problem, and it has been the religious call of all religions to welcome the stranger, and it’s in that spirit that I believe the clergy can call the United States, Mexico and all the players to perhaps a higher response than might otherwise happen,” Brown said on the first full day of his trade mission to Mexico.

LOL, so true...

“I welcome strangers through my front door after they politely knock not after they kick in my basement window”

In my defense...nobody answered the door ;-)

[RC one]

the “welcome the stranger” reference is a Christian theme.

I think he used to be a priest or wanted to be... spent time in a seminary?

[Olog-hai]

Not exclusively.

Never mind the conflation of “stranger” with multitudes of invaders.

[Olog-hai]

Furthermore, the Hebrew word “ger” in Leviticus 19:33-34 and Deuteronomy 10:19 (translated “stranger” in the King James and other Bibles) means someone staying temporarily; a sojourner, more like a tourist.

[RedMDer]

Agreed.

[RC one]

you don’t need to convince me. Brown can go to hell and he can take his god d***ed invaders with him.

[Sergio]

Funny how you hear a call for the religious to FIX THE COUNTRY THEY ARE ALREADY IN!

[expat2]

Welcome the stranger is fine. Welcome an invading army of strangers is a whole new thing - a horse of a different color.....

[Bigg Red]

I am not understanding this OPEN CALL from the libtards to DESTROY this nation!

***
I understand it. They finally have a clear shot at bringing down the greatest human-led force for good that the world has ever known. They are giddy with the success with which they are turning us into a Third World Country.

[Bigg Red]

And Britt Hume.

I just love how these baby killing, devil worshipping, democrats get all churchy with us when it serves their purposes.

Well said.

[Bigg Red]

....spent time in a seminary?

Yes, I recall that about his past.

Then he's only seeing part of the story. The kids that have come across the border are being cared for. The guard is there to help secure the border and slow down the influx. Otherwise, we'd be overrun and wouldn't be able as much assistance.

during the time Professor Irwin Corey was teaching theology,,there,,,

[Mastador1]

I don’t understand the sacrilegious leftist Christian hating bastards trying to use religious arguments to push their Anti American communist agenda.

[TexasCajun]

Britt Hume too!! ...just damn!

How many? ..all of 'em? ...just open up the border?

Gezzzzzz

[GeronL]

How does make any sense that so much money is being spent to support these foreigners, MORE than the average American makes!

Total Insanity
