...stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you ...

I simply don't know how to overcome the literal rendering of this verse. The literal, as you point out from Strong's is": "As the native"

And the context of the Old Testament seems to apply to nomads, those who would wander in and wander out. And it applies to those nomads settling in a particular area receiving their rights.

This seems to be saying I have to treat illegal wanderers as if they are natives.

It would seem to mean that Perry was being TOO HARD on the children of illegals who had been born or raised here.

It will require a lot of prayer for me to go that far.
