Therefore, it is only by interpretation that someone can arrive at such a conclusion that our legal/illegal immigrant distinctions are present in ancient middle eastern cultures.

The point is that the Hebrews were not illegal aliens in a foreign land, but we do have illegal aliens today.

Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Matt. 22:21

Apparently you do not believe this passage, but allow the 12 to 20 million illegals in the country to stay here, but your faith overlooks the 4 million waiting in line to immigrate here legally. There are going to be delayed for several more years due to your faith.

If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; Exodus 22:2:

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the LORD detests them both. Proverbs 17:15

From Luke 28-37: "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
(Note that Jesus excluded the lawbreakers from consideration here.)

Fon news reports that if the National Guard actively detains illegal invaders that they will sue in court.

Don't that just beat all. A foreign nation threatening to sue in our courts over our ability to defend our own nation.

Thanks Liberal LEFTISTS...you are responsible for THIS!

I don't think you can find where I said the above. What I have said is that I think the President's faith is informing his policy. I also have said that the bible DOES require compassionate treatment of the alien. It's simply a biblical fact. The Hebrews were once illegal aliens in a foreign land. Certainly you don't think that the sack of all those cities they overthrew in their invasion of Palestine was approved by the laws of those cities????
