Immigration is not a sin, regardless of how the US Senate votes.

Number one...it's ILLEGAL immigration we are speaking to....

Number two....I believe the 8th Commandment deals with "stealing"....is it not a sin to assist those trying to "steal" citizenship???

Stealing citizenship? In other words, stealing the right to live and work in the United States. You have been reduced to splitting legalistic hairs.

But again, I'm not defending the actions of illegal immigrants. The Bible makes it pretty clear that we are to obey all laws, just and unjust. Its goal is to change hearts, not laws. But in our capacity as voters, as people who make the laws, we have a moral duty to get rid of the unjust laws and to forgive people who break the unjust laws, just as Paul asked Philemon to forgive and then free his escaped slave.
