“Do not take advantage of foreigners who live among you in your land. 34 Treat them like native-born Israelites, and love them as you love yourself. Remember that you were once foreigners living in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

Your exegesis of the passage is faulty in that it ignores numerous passages, which provide property rights, the rights of nations, and obligations to the law abiding.

I guess God didn't believe wanting to live in another land as something to be termed illegal.

That said, I do believe we need to get a handle on our borders and know who is coming into this country. Even when the Prez tries to make a step forward, too many condemn him for not doing enough and end up keeping even the first baby steps from occuring. The issue is so huge that it cannot be handled quickly without huge internemnt camps and other radical means that would cause a lot of wholesale suffering. It's not as simple as some would have it.
