I don't really think nationality means anything at all to The almighty creator. I'm more inclined to think that He would want us to have a welcoming and gracious heart to everyone, including outsider.
The Samaritan and all that...
Even illegal aliens.
W
are all, after all illegal aliens for heaven but Jesus gets us in alright in the end.
Yeah, Benjamin Franklin had the same complaints about the Germans immigrating into Pennsylvania “not speaking the King’s English!”, too and they turned out “okay”.
So...
Did Jesus tell us to welcome or push away the vulnerable?Not exactly true. The Samaritan was a citizen as well as the guy he helped. The OT taught there were three kinda of people, a citizen a legal immigrant who had the rights of citizenship and the foreigners who dis not have the same rights as citizens. The NT taught that it was the governments job to protect it's citizens and enforce the laws
It also taught us to be kind and not mistreat people. In essence we should enforce our laws and send them home, but we shouldn't mistreat them while doing so.
If that was the case the administration would be strengthening and enforcing e-verify.Perhaps he wants them to start leaving voluntarily. Or not, im just speculating.
To be sure. And I agree with you about ordinary illegal economic migration. For one thing, such migration could be reduced to negligible levels by enforcing existing laws about employing undocumented foreigners, a step the Trump administration seems unwilling to take.I doubt very much he cares so much about the legals. Most people think legal immigration is great! Even Trump does and he's proved it.
It's the illegals that bother us legal immigrants.
ICE officials said late Monday night that they were not aware that the president planned to divulge their enforcement plans on Twitter.
Large-scale ICE enforcement operations are typically kept secret to avoid tipping off targets.
Sure, but you're not a grandmaster of 17th dimensional chess.
President Trump said in a tweet Monday night that U.S. immigration agents are planning to make mass arrests starting “next week,” an apparent reference to a plan in preparation for months that aims to round up thousands of migrant parents and children in a blitz operation across major U.S. cities.
“Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States,” Trump wrote, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Why is that the only alternative? Can we not let in some, assist Mexico to keep others and take positive steps to ameliorate the dire conditions from which these Central Americans are fleeing?So what is your answer? Let in millions and give them all Health Care and Welfare? Can we afford that?
As a christian, first we have to answer MY question. Then we would try to generate a policy that supports the answer of that question.So what is your answer? Let in millions and give them all Health Care and Welfare? Can we afford that?
But if you overtax the rich it will only be passed onto the poor, and also might not be good economically. Adding more people to a bad economic situation will only make things worse.As a christian, first we have to answer MY question.

To answer YOUR question though. Yes, I believe if you appropriately taxed the "uber" wealthy it absolutely would be possible. MOST people want to work for money; even and especially refugees and migrants.
I'm not advocating that you overtax Bezos to the point where he's living in a 2 bedroom bungalow in detroit because that's all he can afford.But if you overtax the rich it will only be passed onto the poor, and also might not be good economically. Adding more people to a bad economic situation will only make things worse.
He always says things like that, bragging what great things he has done or will do. I only believe things like this when I see them.
I live in a little Mexico area in AZ. at least they think it is. I am the only white for blocks and they are as arrogant as always. They are coming in, not leaving. Maybe it is that they don't understand English and so they are oblivious. Most here don't speak any English or understand it..
Our government is in place largely to prevent capitalism from turning our republic into a de facto feudal system, wherein the “haves” have and the “have-nots” survive on the crumbs left on the table.But if you overtax the rich it will only be passed onto the poor, and also might not be good economically.
Crumbs? There is opportunity in america, thats why the illegals want in. They have crumbs in their own country.Our government is in place largely to prevent capitalism from turning our republic into a de facto feudal system, wherein the “haves” have and the “have-nots” survive on the crumbs left on the table.
Every once in a while the government needs to step in and yes, redistribute wealth, from the tippy-top to the bottom, so that the whole process can begin anew.
Those in the tippy-top will use whatever means available to them to maintain their hegemonies, arguing that such a redistribution is a “good idea, but not for right now!”
