“Bush is lying through his teeth on this issue,”

Can one be a good Christian and lie to the people about this issue?

Not in my book. "Deeds, not words", as the saying goes.

I've read a lot of the books by Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews in Holland during WW2. Sometimes to do so, she had to lie to the authorities.

In this case, I don't think Bush is acting on Christian Principles, but obtaining cheap labor for his buddies. While I'm not a Bibical Scholar, I know both New and Old Testaments say a lot about "Crapth Not on ye nations poor, for thou willist offend me and I will go a smothing and such".

Some “good Christians” feel that it is their duty as Christians to harbor illegals.
