Let's look at his words, and everyone can judge for himself. Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!" John 10:1 Clearly, Jesus is saying those who sneak over the wall attempting to get in the sheepfold are illegal immigrants. The only difference between this group and the Mexicans is the goal.

This is actually a commentary on what will happen to people who try and claim admittance to heaven without having accepted Christ as savior.

That having been said, the Bible is not silent on the subject of immigration. Read Ruth 1:16 for a commentary on the proper way to handle it.

Do you think for one second Jesus was only speaking about literal sheep pens? In attempting a proper exegesis of Scripture it is important to seek all of the principles involved, and not simply restrict it to that one event.

That having been said, the Bible is not silent on the subject of immigration. Read Ruth 1:16 for a commentary on the proper way to handle it.

Ruth 1:16 does not take into account the whole of Scripture, and speaks of the times of the patriarchs, when Caesar's laws regarding immigration were not in force.
