Activists, illegal immigrants march near White House to protest Biden

Speaking respectfully is such a small, simple change. Why sweat the small stuff?

When “righteousness is its own reward”, folks can let a lot of things “slide”, apparently.

Trump was building a wall. I think that it would have worked for the American People much better than any of Biden's words that candy coat criminal activity.

Maybe we should form posses and hunt them down, to arrest them for seeking a better life?
That’d show ‘em!

That is a much better position that criticizing others and attempting to force them to use PC terms they do not agree with. Score one for free speech.

That you meant this unironically is just such a delight!
Well done!

HARK! said:

I've had very close long term friendships with several immigrants. None of them found the words 'illegal immigrant' neither offensive, nor hurtful; but they were legal immigrants. They were upset by illegal immigrants who steal their way into this country; while my friends had waited, and worked so hard to do everything right.

If you did meet a person who happened to be an illegal immigrant...would you turn them in?

disciple Clint said:

Biden is not defending our borders, the cartels are making billions thanks to Biden, look at the situation at the south border, Biden scraped the agreements Trump had and now we have a dangerous mess beyond anything that can be imagined.

Easy solution, decriminalize drugs and make immigration easier. Boom. The cartels lose the majority of their revenue.

would you like to try to explain what you are trying to say?

isn't that exactly what Biden is trying to do. very short sighted but exactly what some people seem to be trying to do. How many people are going to die due to those drugs, oh never mind logic does matter, a few dead people here or there, a few more MS 13 gang members here or a few more murders and major crimes, a few terrorists entering our country another major event like 9-11 none of that seems to matter.

Fantine said:

You're right. Biden works for all of America.

When I listen to him, I sense the 99% breathing a collective sigh of relief.

But in asking him to demean immigrants, you are trying to prevent him from working for all Americans.

I wish that CP had some "Don't agree" buttons and not just all buttons that are positive... Do they really think it's wrong to let people know you disagree with them and it's ONLY OK to let them know you agree with them?

Like this post....there is no button that is appropriate for me to choose....I don't agree with this comment at all so must take that time to type this out rather than just hit a button that says the same thing.

Nevertheless, both are God's children.

Only to "all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name" did He give "the right to become children of God" (John 1:12).

And again…

"So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring."—Romans 9:8

And again…

"Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."—Romans 8:9

Scripture does not teach we are all (de facto) God's children, and that matters because "the righteous shall live by faith", not natural descent.

Doesn’t mean God lacks caring for all, but only those of faith are His children.

I'm not sure what your point is here. The 9/11 terrorists entered the country legally and MS-13 originated here. Reducing OD deaths is one of the reasons for legalizing hard drugs.

Hands up if you think Jesus would even recognise the concept of an illegal immigrant.

Matters not where ms 13 originated the fact that many members of that extremely violent organization are among those people entering our country over the south border is an undisputed fact, it is also undisputed that known terrorists have been arrested at our south border, who knows how many entered undetected since our border officers are busy babysitting. More drugs reduces overdose deaths, come on man. Our border is a major security issue and a giant mess thanks exclusively to Joe Biden fixing something that was not broken.

Jesus is very much aware of what is going on in the world today. Jesus also recognized the difference between a Jew and a gentile

I'm sure I don't know how to respond to that level of magical thinking. MS-13 Was a gang of Salvadorian immigrants in LA which had no presence in El Salvador until we started deporting them there--that's a fact. I didn't say that more drugs equals less OD deaths--that's a lie. I said legal drugs equals less OD deaths. Yes, the border is still a mess, but the reasons for it you suggest are nothing but a politically motivated fantasy.

Are you implying that Jesus went somewhere ILLEGALLY? That His parents climbed over a wall/barrier or snuck through the border ILLEGALLY? That concept is diametrically opposed to the life and character of Jesus. He never went ANYWHERE where He was not WANTED. That is why He told His disciples, "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another...." Matthew 10:33. They were never to stay where they were not wanted.

Jesus going to Egypt teaches the truth that oftentimes, true Christians are accepted by the WORLD (Egypt symbolizes the WORLD) better than they are by those in the CHURCH.

No, I'm sure He entered the country legally, like almost half of the illegals in this country now--who ICE can't catch and whine when local LEOs wont do it for them..

you could be a little more considerate in your posts, insulting people you disagree with displays a lack of maturity. calling people a lair is irresponsible, I did not quote you, I did interpret what you said differently than what you intended. do you have any evidence that "legal drugs equals less OD deaths"? Again where MS 13 originated is irrelevant. What is your explanation for the disaster at the border. we did not have any problem until Biden made changes that he had been warned would result in a major crisis and invited people to come to this country. This was totally avoidable.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported Wednesday that agents arrested and encountered a total of 100,441 non-citizens, nearly triple the number of encounters reported in February, 2019. More Than 100,000 Migrants Encountered At Border In February

In the 2016 campaign, a myth was promulgated that many immigrants were murderers and rapists.

Demonization and division are the tools of populist demagogues. I think America can do better than uniting in hate against a manufactured enemy.

It's sad to see people still imagining immigrants are Isis and drug dealers. Why would they choose a heavily patrolled point of entry?

This isn't an argument you can win. Your side has nothing, no good argument whatsoever, why drugs should stay illegal.

The war on drugs is pointless, it costs way to much money and actually causes the problems it's trying to solve.
