But, I'd be doing it legally. I wouldn't be demanding "rights"...
I wouldn't be marching in the street...
I wouldn't be mooching off my adoptive home...
I wouldn't be scamming to have my pregnant family members sent here to have their babies...
Now my question....
What kind of minister advocates the breaking of laws?
What kind of minister advocates the breaking of laws
We need to separate two issues. The moral duties of the illegal immigrants, and our moral duties as voters. I happen to think that there is little Biblical support for civil disobedience (and given the backlashes that these movements have inspired, I can see the wisdom of the H.S. and the apostle Paul when they focused instead on changing hearts rather than laws). From that perspective, even though they are poor, illegal immigrants have a moral duty to return to their country of birth.
But we have separate moral duties as voters. Given that restrictions on immigration are unjust (if you lived in a third world socialist country you would leave too), our moral duty as voters - as people involved in making laws - is to grant amnesty.
We are like Philemon. The apostle Paul has returned our slave. Now do we free him?
