Since I haven't said that, I must first be certain that you don't think I support that. I don't.

However, the Bible does support one instance that I know of in which a horde of illegal aliens invaded and overthrew a legitimate government.

That was when Joshua led the Children of Israel into the Promised Land and displaced the people currently living there.

There are also references in the bible to non-citizens being intentionally settled in a country not their own in order to provide a more docile population. I believe that both Assyria and Babylon followed that practice.

That is where the Samaritans came from. (Think: Parable of the Good Samaritan.)

You are forgetting G-d's word through Jeremiah. Israel was told to stand down and take their punishment, but they refused the foreign subjugation and were subsequently disposessed of the land.

I am thinking more along the lines of selling one's birthright for a mess of pottage ...

The government was NOT legitimate, because the ultimate authority gave instructions for His law to be enforced in driving out those in rebellion.

Whoa! Stop the presses! Someone, please WAKE ME UP from this NIGHTMARE!

You just compared the Mexican invaders with "the Children of Israel", and, to gild the lilly, you compared the USA to a land occupied by evil Canaanites!

I don't know if you even realize what you said. You have in essence justified the overthrow of the USA by the Mexican invaders.

Good grief.
