Malachi 3:4

4 “ Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
Will be pleasant to the LORD,
As in the days of old,
As in former years.
5 And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
Against perjurers,
Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
6 “ For I am the LORD, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

In chapter 13 of the apostle Paul's Letter to the Romans, the English translation reads, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed..." (Romans 13:1-2). Clearly, this is advice to Christians to follow the laws of their nation and to respect the laws of other nations.

I'll continue to turn away an alien as long as said alien is in the nation illegally.

I'm tired of picking up the tab for these criminals, and the truth is, in the eyes of the law, these people are criminals.

These criminals deserve no rights, yet just as our congress wants to give terrorists rights, they also seek to give these criminals rights. I forget more often than not whether the 'rule of law' exists because the 'rule of law' is completely ignored. So when the alligator turns to eat you, you will lay down and wait to be devoured? Be my guest!

I don't see the word "illegal" in that bible quote. Most of us living here in the USA had family members who were once aliens.

And, the bible also quotes that we MUST obey civil authority and from the last I heard, illegal immigration, is against the law just ask any border patrol or ICE agent.

Jesus also told us to give to Caesar what is Caesar's, so I guess you love to pay high taxes, if you don't then you are not following Jesus' commands.
