Why do you keep quoting the Bible in regards to illegals?

He's selectively quoting the Bible, and deliberately ignoring the many verses that say the opposite of what he's trying to say. Like don't steal, don't covet, be in submission to the authorities over you, a city without walls is a bad thing, take care of those of your own household first, God sets the boundaries of the peoples, etc., etc.

I take it this means you are against LEGAL immigration as well?? Can you please let me know which verse you are referring to so that I can tell you my view on it? I am going to assume you are referring to Deut. 32:8? If so, clearly this doesn't mean to close US borders to LEGAL immigration, I don't see how it means that ..it is describing God's powers and not asking people to keep out legitimate immigrants or anything like that. Surely then all the travel and hospitality to aliens in the Bible would not be possible. In the Bible, there are many instances of people moving among nations and also see the references to how aliens are supposed to be treated and God's opinion of them in my previous posting. More than once God has expressed displeasure at people or nations who maltreat aliens. And plus, I assume you are living in America? Are you 100% Native American? If not, how does that stand with your implied interpretation of Deut. 32:8 ?

I didn't say that stealing is OK. And I did not say that it is OK to break laws. I am against law breaking obviously, but I do have a similar view as our President when it comes to blanket punishment.
