Illegal Immigrant Movement, Teaching Their Children Lawlessness Contact: Phil Magnan, director of Biblical Family Advocates, 36-1-246-2587
BUDAPEST, Hungary, May 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Biblical Family Advocates has been observing the illegal immigration movement that is bent on coming to America illegally without regard for the laws of America. They are asserting that "no human is illegal."
But Biblical Family Advocates is concerned with this line of reasoning. Many well intentioned people seem to have forgotten to teach their children to obey the laws of the land as well as submitting to the governing authorities.
"It seems apparent to me that the children of illegal immigrants are being taught to do the very thing the Bible condemns. They are being taught to covet their neighbor's goods and that stealing is justified if it benefits you. How will they teach their children to obey the laws of any nation when they justify lawlessness as a lifestyle? To take jobs, government funds and services from legal Americans is a form of stealing." says Phil Magnan of Biblical Family Advocates. "They are taking from others what they do not own. This does not love your neighbor nor doing unto others as you would have done unto you."
"Remarkably, if I were to break any laws of America or any country for that matter, I would expect to be punished and yet the illegal immigrant movement seems to have forgotten that point. They want to be a special class of people that can steal, covet and enjoy the fruits of America all in the name of self entitlement. But the worst thing about all of this is that the children are being taught that stealing and coveting are justifiable. And yet Jesus Christ Himself hated lawlessness. Their actions contradict the words of Romans 13 that says that we are to "submit to the governing authorities". They are not obeying the governing laws of America. There is no question that the people of Mexico and other countries need compassion and help, but they should not try to justify their unlawful actions because their own government has failed them."
Biblical Family Advocates, BFA, encourages all illegal immigrants of good conscience to reconsider the lessons they are teaching their children. But BFA also encourages the continued international work of Christians to compassionately ease the burden of foreign people's worldwide. It is the hope of BFA that these people will one day experience greater prosperity as they call their own governments into account and call their own people to godly repentance. For without Christ, no people will truly be prosperous
Green Cards? We don’t need no steenkin’ Green Cards...
I agree. Why should they worry about Green Cards? Our legal system won’t do anything about the illegals so why shouldn’t they come here? There is absolutely nothing to stop them and they know it. Just turn the west coast back to Mexico and the problem will go away. Our government wants open borders between us and Mexico anyway........they just won’t tell us that this is their plan.
And they are correct. But human's do illegal things; and entering a sovereign nation under the radar of their border patrol agents and immigration laws is an illegal act, making the violators criminals. What part of that basic human reasoning can't they understand?
You have to wonder how many of these illegal aliens would accept you and I into their native homes, give us food, work and provide us with free medical care? What foreign nation would grant us cheap college education, cheap housing and free food just because we are in their land illegally? Either America has gone insane or the people have lost all control of government, it may be both.
They're "taking their land back" one illegal immigrant at a time so no one notices (until it's too late to do anything about it).

I have a question for the open border/amensty posters. Javier Rodriguez the organizer of these marches was just on CNN. Just to show the open border lobby how misguided they are, Javier and his group is calling for the IMPEACHMENT of Pres. Bush and VP Cheney. Bush has done more for this group than ANYONE, but they don’t see it! Is this the group you want to see ‘on a path to citizenship’??
Also he said the ports in LA had shut down for this fiasco. Anyone heard that?

What he said on CNN is NOT new. They are the real unappeaseables. Even President Bush's proposed CIF, or path to citizenship is NOT acceptable with today's demonstrators. They want TOTAL AMNESTY PRONTO.
And what if we don't give them amnesty? Will they all decide to pack their bags and go back "home"? We should be so fortunate..

Good question. And the very best way to make sure it doesn't happen is to get busy and start phoning, faxing and e-mailing the elite political trash that represents you in Washington. You must actively participate if you want to succeed in heading this off.
Sick of seeing the illegal aliens "demonstrating"? Sick of all the amnesty talk? Then get off the couch and go to Numbers USA and follow their suggestions (note to calcowgirl: please give me a hand here, cg, and post a hotlink to NUSA for anybody that wants to get off their butts and do something besides sing to the choir).

What took you so long?

Fax your legislooters free!!! No More Amnesty! Secure the borders, then we’ll talk.

Unless we secure our borders, I predict another 200 million illegals in the next 20 years.
