Not at all - Jesus and the Good Samaritan would help someone regardless of immigration status - that's what HR 4437 seeks to criminalize.

Ah, I didn't realize that you were the one designated to actually speak for Jesus and the Good Samaritan!

Odd thing, though, Jesus speaks of obeying the civil law, such as rendering taxes to Ceasar. What part of the Gospel are you relying on to indicate that either wouldn't have directed the illegals to immigrate according to the civil law?

The simple fact is that HR 4437 would not criminalize any charity, only actons which seek to aid and abet a criminal.

You and Hillary both seem to have the same misunderstanding about the parable of the Good Samaritan.

The Good Samaritan was the one who did the "helping" -- he wasn't the one who was being helped. So the parable would only have any relevance to HR 4437 if the proposed legislation prohibited wealthy Mexicans from embarking on charitable ventures here in the U.S.

Clearly Jesus is unaware of how our tax dollars are being wasted educating and providing medicine for these illegals.
