  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ok, we used to be farmers. We often had illegal Mexicans working for us. Everyone did. We helped two families get citizenship and they were really nice people. One of my best friends throughout grade school was the son of one of these workers.

I now live in a large town, but if I knew of any illegal immigrants in my community that couldn't feed their children, I would give them some food or clothes. Our church already gives a great amount of supplies and whatnot to immigrant families that moved here to go to college or the like.

I do not know if I would turn them in, but I would be careful to distance myself from them. I would not want to go down with them if they got arrested.

During the Clinton adminstration and even some of the women Bush appointed flunked their FBI check because somewhere along the way they had hired a illegal to take care of their kids. It disqualified them from what could have very well been the best job they every would have had.

or

provide them with info so they can get handouts from the gov't, paid for by your taxes (the Earth is the Lord's)?

:eek: :(

thats awful! You dare to judge these people? How do you know they are lawless and unethical? Is it so unethical to leave everything you know behind so that you might feed and clothe your family and give them the chance of an education? dont tell me you wouldnt for your family just because it is against the law in that country!

You are awfully intolerant for a Christian, doesnt god love all people? Would Jesus turn away people in need? They have as much right as everyone else to clean water.
