If illegals believe in God, then why are they law-breakers? God is the ultimate law giver; he says "31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,". Those who fear God tend to keep a country's laws and pay taxes.

Also, if recently arrived foreigners believe in God, then why do they in large numbers appear to support those who oppose God?

In fact, if you would search the bible you would find that God has a history of using the more actively wicked to punish sinners.

By that same standard, weren't many of our ancestors also illegals? Oh wait, what this country did was perfectly legal and divinely justified according to Manifest Destiny.

Besides, the Israelites were given their land not because they were so righteous, but because of the sin of the people occupying the land (Deuteronomy 9:4-5).

Good question, but see above. Even King David committed some horrible sins, but Israel remained God's people.

In fact, if you would search the bible you would find that God has a history of using the more actively wicked to punish sinners.

That was true in Old Testament times, but now, as recorded in II Peter 3:9, "God wants no one to perish, but all to repent." That includes, you, me, and all of those whom you describe above.
