Are the 10 Commandments also only for Israel, or are we to interpret God's Word, as revealed in the Bible, as applicable to a worldwide audience?
Of course. The failure is our government to secure our borders. Illegal immigrants once here are to be treated as our neighbors. If you see and know you do. That is our calling in the Holy Spirit as a new creation.Nazi Germany had laws where it was illegal to help Jewish people escape the Holocaust. But everyone knows that saving the life of a persecuted Jew during the 1930s and '40s would be an act of virtue. In other words, an illegal activity isn't always a bad thing by default, much like how undocumented immigration isn't a bad thing just because it's illegal. Use your judgement.
I haven’t forgotten anything. And there’s nothing in Scripture about illegal aliens.True, God spoke to the Israelites in that verse. But you willfully omitted Malachi 3:6: “I, the Lord, do not change.” God doesn’t change, nor has he changed his opinion on treating undocumented immigrants humanely and equally.
Post-modernism is all about the power. Truth doesn't exist anyway, so your story is as good as the next.America as we know it would never have existed, unless a group of "anarchists," which we now refer to as the Founding Fathers, had not challenged "law and order, and the rule of law in the land!"
When you're successful you are eulogized by posterity, when you're not you're castigated as a criminal!
My story is that the Founding Father set up a nation of laws ...
Aren't most Americans illegal immigrants?
Yep ... some of us are descendants of those that jumped up and overran other peoples' lands, helping themselves to what they wanted, ... and confining and oppressing the native inhabitants.
And some of us are descendants of said native population and we get real tired of being used as your shield to defend illegal activity. Most of us don't have sticks up our keisters and consider ourselves Americans, and many are against illegal immigration. You want to make restoration for your ancestors crimes? Start by not speaking for us or using us as a shield.
Why so much conservative hostility towards undocumented immigrants?
Violating laws, by entering the US illegally.
Violating more laws, once in the US illegally.
Being a burden instead of an asset.
Their intent.

I agree that people should follow the law. That's why we have laws.
However, laws are not immutable. The Congress could change the laws to make legal immigration easier. They could make visas easier to obtain, increase the quotas of immigrants who are permitted to come in from each country, and so on. I'd like to see that happen. It would allow more people to immigrate legally, instead of illegally -- thus upholding the rule of law -- and it would allow us to welcome more foreign nationals who are in need.
The Founding Fathers did not steal a continent or kill the native population, and slavery was an institution before America was created.... which then went on to STEAL the continent, ... kill most of the native population, and supply labor for its upbuilding through enslavement.
How LAWFUL ...
You know .... it could be that YOUR ANCESTORS might ALSO be MY ANCESTORS ... or, at least, very closely related.
And I am well aware that many Native American descendants feel DISPOSSESSED by this country that wants to PRETEND to be for the GOOD of ALL of its inhabitants.
Perhaps YOU ought to not speak as though YOURS is the ONLY VIEW that exists ... especially when YOU KNOW that it isn't ...

Rion said: Not likely. My white ancestors didn't get here until the late 19th century at the earliest.

The continental expansion came later, and diseases were the main killers of the indigenous populations in the territories that later generations of Americans expanded into.
It is important to at least have some facts in your narrative.
Well I guess for post-modernists, that really isn't true, isn't it?
Truth does not matter, all that matters is that you sock it to the man.
Obviously you have no devotion to the country. Is your intent therefore subversive?
We came down hard on the native Americans, took their land and made it ours.
We are now coming down hard on illegals in order to keep what is now our land.
And while it's true that our government looked the other way when farmers sneaked in illegal labor it must be remembered that our government changes every few years with new representatives may enforce immigration laws that have always been there.
We experience this on our highways. Right now in Wisconsin the Interstate speed limit is 70, but the State Patrol is allowing travel at 80 (I drive 240 miles of the interstate several times weekly and can attest to this). If accidents increase or large numbers of drivers exceed 80 mph the State Patrol will begin to enforce the lawful speed limit to control the problem. The same dynamic is now in play with illegals. They have spun out of control so the standing law is being imposed. There is nothing illegal or immoral being done here.
They do have a pretty strong case for claiming most of the southwest.
