Jesus wasn't a slacker or a moocher
Still ignoring the facts I see. It’s real easy to actually look up the unemployment rates of Hispanics in the US. As I pointed out previously is 4% which means that 96% of them work for a living.

Jesus would never support those committing crimes. Illegals are committing crimes being illegal.. my ancestors did it legally. According to you all yours didn't.
Jesus also wouldn't condemn a person for having a different opinion. Jesus doesn't condemn. I guess you all think you are better then Jesus.
And finally. Help the citizens of the US before you protect and help those breaking the law if you must stand behind crime.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The vast majority of illegal immigrants especially from Mexico are coming here to make a life for their families because they don’t make enough money in Mexico to survive. It’s easy for you to point fingers at others because you’re on the side of the fence with the green grass but put yourself in their shoes and I bet you’d see things very differently. The average annual income in Mexico is equivalent to $16,000 US dollars. They can’t afford to come here legally. I’ve worked with a lot of people who came here from Mexico and saved up enough money to get their green card by working here in the US because it would’ve been impossible for them to get one working in Mexico.

You say Jesus didn’t condemn people for having an opinion, He absolutely did condemn people for not having compassion. That was His whole problem with the Pharisees. They quoted the law but they had no compassion for others. If you know the scriptures and you know the teachings of Christ then you know this is true.

Didn’t Jesus spend His early years in Egypt?
Did his folks get a visa?
Or did they just wander on down to the land of the Pharaohs unannounced?

There's really no shortage of biblical material when it comes to good treatment of immigrants/foreigners/strangers. In fact, biblically speaking, every person who is a member of the Church has become a foreigner (1 Peter 2:11); because the language of the New Testament is that the Christian has their politeuma (citizenship, in the sense of being a legal resident of a polis, a city and civil administration); a political-allegiance and attachment ἐν οὐρανοῖς (en ouranois), "in [the] heavens" where Christ reigns as King at the right hand of God the Father. That is, the Christian's political and legal identity is in Christ and Christ's kingship; which renders the Christian, in essence, a foreigner here. Which seriously undermines any attempt to Christianize nativism of any kind.

Now, with that said, it doesn't appear that the the poster cares one whit about what the Bible says.

I am noticing a growing trend among Christians that Jesus, the Bible, and religion in general are generally of no importance--what is important is self-centered tribalism--"what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine".

Of course in the Talmud the Jewish Sages say that this kind of thinking is the most debased, describing it as a "Sodomite" mindset--i.e. the attitude of the people of Sodom whom the Prophet Ezekiel says were destroyed for their disdain and mistreatment of the poor and needy. Just saying.

Embracing a mass, ILLEGAL immigration invasion in America is not about having compassion and neither is the growing human trafficking problem, fentanol related deaths, strain on the economy, housing crisis and safety concerns of American citizens because of the open border crisis. America has always welcomed immigrants/foreignors/strangers LEGALLY yet there are checks and balances involved. Why is it so hard for certain people to see this?

So you are for a mass ILLEGAL immigration invasion of the US and against Christianity in America? You have lost sight of America's roots.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

I believe it will be the downfall of the U.S. I've seen a great difference in our city since the borders were open. What. Possible good reason could they have.
Plain and obvious globally, new world, reset..... not a good reason, but very powerful and likely not anything anyone except the Creator can do anything about... except for people to pray and to expose the deeds of darkness when they are directed to.

The worst thing about open borders is in the future ground war in America, the soldiers are all already here. I'd bet money on it.
They will use our own soldiers against us. Won't they ? (how many times in the past has that been done too?)

The world wants what the world wants, eh?
1 John 2:15 - Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Ok you’re making an actual rational point but the other guy is just spewing hate. And the boarders are not open hence the term illegal immigrants. If the boarders were actually open the term illegal immigrants wouldn’t exist.

And the country would have been more fully destroyed a lot faster....
If, in 50-100 years America is a predominantly Spanish-culture nation would that be a “bad thing”?

Regardless of any cultural influence, I don't see anything that can make America good, do you ? It has been harmful and disingenuous /dishonest/ untruthful for over a century.

Given that illegal immigrants are largely coming from countries with higher rates of religiosity im not sure how that follows.

Well, much longer than that, the whole “manifest-destiny” thing that drove off the indigenous peoples from their land was nothing more than naked greed dressed up in colonial garb.

If they don't apply for citizenship they're illegal,. They're breaking the law. They're criminals. Jesus would not sanction criminals. People are moving away from what is honest and honorable. That's not Jesus that i know.
