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.

I am not understanding this OPEN CALL from the libtards to DESTROY this nation!!! Always in the past this was never spoken out loud in the general public because the left knew they could never win elections on their favorite policies. I guess now the left believes it has a "compliant voting public" that cares nothing about preserving our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

Jerry Brown sounds like Glenn Beck and George Will.

Who would have thunk it?

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

[RedMDer]

They don’t come much stranger than Moonbeam.

[Olog-hai]

It’s not hard to understand. One place to start is Isaiah 3.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

“Welcome the stranger” = support government spending and blanket amnesty for illegals.

[ZULU]

Nothing more risible than a liberal nut job claiming to have gotten religion.

[RC one]

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

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

Liberals and Rinos must welcome strangers only if they kick in their basement window via breaking and entering. Must make sense to liberals and rinos that a polite knock at the front door means trouble and therefore that is the time to call for security. Liberals and Rinos certainly are crazy. Sane people could never live in their world.

Jerry Brown is an idiot, but then he IS a Democrat.

So perfect it's chilling.

[no-to-illegals]

and you repeat yourself.

[no-to-illegals]

I do too ... repeat myself that is.

[Seaplaner]

Mister Moonbeam is an odd (in the scary way) person.

[Para-Ord.45]

THIS from an Anti-Christian.

Disgusting vile evil man

[DPMD]

Pelosi talks about the “divinity” in the kids, and Brown evokes the religious calling. Suddenly the party that is perpetually trying to stamp out all traces of God and religion is hearing the call?

Hypocrisy of the lowest sort.

[stanne]

Not one of these people none of the government officials and not any homeland security workers , not one pundit nor radio talk show hosts has one ounce of credibility

When just one of these lecturers, these theorists has only just one single illegal into their home to live with his wife and children and signs adoption papers to assimilate that illegal immigrant into his home and the US I MIGHT dream if thinking about considering holding an iota of credulity to his bloviations

[Olog-hai]

Brown didn’t get “churchy”. Or at least I don’t see where he said “Christian” instead of “religious”, the latter of which can mean anything. (And his later statement calling for the “churches to play an important role” is not the same as his being “religious”.)

[skeeter]

“I will make mere youths their officials;
children will rule over them.”

[DoughtyOne]

We welcomed the stranger into our state’s highest office.

Isn’t that enough?
