When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. (Lev. 19:33-34)(NIV).
When native borns break the laws, they are righteously punished. The law says that ILLEGAL aliens are to be deported. They come here and break all kinds of laws to get jobs, such as stealing identities, producing false identification cards, working under the table for cash and violating our tax laws, giving fake names at emergency rooms to avoid payment of hospital and medical treatment costs, etc.
If a native born citizen committed all those violations they would be prosecuted and sent away for years.
Indeed it is time we started treating ILLEGAL aliens the same as we treat our citizens. Arrest them and deport them. That is what the law requires. Citizens must obey the laws, why not illegal immigrants?
