“Some people deserve to be helped, and others do not . . .”
Really?
I feed hungy kids every week. Many of them are illegal. I don’t ask, but it’s obvious.
No, I’m not Catholic. I’m very not-Catholic, and this is not Catholic church-related, nor does it involve sanctuary. It’s just me and my friends, doing what is right.
I beg to differ with your opinion. Here’s another passage from scripture that you can accept or reject as you choose:
‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
Matthew 25:35-40
Where did I say to deny kids food?
I am talking about the people who are entering this country to further their illegal expolits, be they drugs, organized crime, or the like. That is what is being imported into our country, and the Lord does not smile upon it. If we continue to tolerate it, we will continue to reap the horrible repercussions. We need to build the fence, and then help people in Mexico as needed. Obstruction to those efforts is not in any way godly, and does nothing to address the real problems.
Kudos for helping people, just don’t obstruct people who want to fix the underlying problems.
Oh, and don’t assume anything about what I do or don’t do to help the poor. I’m not advertising.
