re: Texas AG Paxton sues Catholic charity for aiding and encouraging illegal immigration

Purported Americans supporting criminals overrunning our country and punishing American citizens who’ve worked hard to build safe and secure communities, all the while claiming to support the best interests of Americans.

You prove that shitty dumb people don’t understand themselves or the concept of logical consistency.

Every study ever conducted says that illegal immigrants commit crime at rates lower than native citizens and that immigration (both legal and illegal) is great for our economy.

Facts don’t care about your racism.

Considering they are here illegally, I’m guessing there is at least one crime undercounted in those stats.

Fact check: False

Every single one of them broke a law just coming here. Then add in the rest of their crimes.

Pretty sure Ben Crump says that it is just the black culture to do so.

Look, just because you consume media that understands your deep seeded racism and general stupidity well enough to feed you sensationalized reports and exaggerated analysis on the people that they know you hate so that they can sell you colloidal silver and tax cuts for rich people, doesn’t mean that you should ignore reality and actual data.

I knew this would be brought up, and it’s a fair point.


There’s little need to point out the irony of secularists and liberals who fail to consult the Bible in every other area of life, suddenly attempting to use God’s word to justify illegal immigration; the absurdity speaks for itself.


As for what the Bible says about illegal immigration … there are several Biblical examples that illustrate how a foreigner (individual or group) had to receive permission from the appropriate authority in a particular culture before settling. Even in Old Testament times, countries had borders that were protected and respected. Foreigners who wanted to reside in another country had to obtain permission.


Perhaps the best-known account relates to the Children of Israel entering Egypt. Genesis tells how during a time of famine in Canaan, the sons of Jacob did the natural thing under the circumstances—go to Egypt where the Nile kept the land fertile. Even though their brother Joseph was a high-ranking official who had recommended to Pharaoh that they be allowed to settle in Egypt, they were compelled to ask Pharaoh for permission:

quote:

---

“And they said to Pharaoh, ‘Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were.’ They said to Pharaoh, ‘We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.’ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘Your father and your brothers have come to you. The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them settle in the land of Goshen.’” (Genesis 47:3-6)

Multiple books and articles have been written on the subject of reconciling immigration policies with God’s word. The two are not mutually exclusive, as compassion doesn’t equate to anarchy.
