Matthew 25: 24-46

34

Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

35

for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

36

I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'

37

Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?

38

And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?

39

And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?'

40

And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'

41

Then he will say to those at his left hand, `Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;

42

for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

43

I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'

44

Then they also will answer, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?'

45

Then he will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.'

46

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

That doesn't mean you pour out every bit of resources you have in a short period of time, and end up creating MORE poor, with nobody left who has anything to help them with. If thats what you really think, power down the computer you are using right now, and go give it to the first poor looking person you see. Then do the same thing with everything else you have, including your house.

"#2241 The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin... Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants’ duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."

And the USCCB, "Second Principle: A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control immigration."

The people invading America do not respect our national sovereignty by the very act of their illegal entry. A huge proportion take it a step further and deny that the western states belong to America, and consider themselves soldiers i n the war to reclaim "Atzlan." We cannot support these people, and they do not meet the basic duties of an immigrant to their country of adoption.

You may wish to revisit John 6 again. After feeding the 5,000, Jesus moved on. The crowd followed Him. Our Lord didn't appreciate the mooching and told them so:

Joh 6:24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Joh 6:25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"

Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

Joh 6:27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal."

Reminds me of:

2Th_3:10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

Remember, this is a commandment.
