If you are serious about following God, you have to be accepting of all aliens.

Nonsense. Those Old Testament verses about being fair to aliens also affirmed that the interests of Israel were to come first. Foreigners were not allowed to rule over the Israelites. Aliens were required to obey the religious laws of the land, unlike today, where aliens brag about "enriching" the new country with their own language and culture.

Besides, back then aliens were "sojourners," people who came, stayed for a while, and left. There was no "illegal immigration" like today, where tens of millions of people flood across a country's borders, take jobs, lower wages, use fake documents, collect welfare, force taxpayers to pay for their hospitalization and their children's education, etc., etc.

Look at the "fruits" of illegal immigration. Drive through an illegal alien neighborhood sometime, a formerly nice area. (There are many.) Do it only if you dare, and if your car is not likely to break down. Notice the bars on the doors and windows. Notice the graffiti and the filth and the blight. Does this tell you anything? Would you want to live there? Would you allow your daughter to jog through an illegal alien neighborhood or rent an apartment there? Would you want your children to go to a school that was majority illegal aliens? How could God possibly approve of the crime, destruction and danger that illegal immigration brings in its wake? One look around any illegal alien neighborhood, and you know there is no way that God approves of illegal immigration, or expects Christians to embrace it.

The Bible says "Go and make disciples of all nations." Key word...GO. Not, "Let foreigners flood into your nation and take over, and then you can evangelize them." Christians are to GO where the foreigners are.
