Catholic Church takes stand against illegal-immigration dragnet

Keep them poor, ignorant, beholding, pregnant, and sheer them regularly. That is the way to maintain a profitable flock.

Romans 13:1-7 makes it abundantly clear that God expects us to obey the laws of the government. The only exception to this is when a law of the government forces you to disobey a command of God (Acts 5:29). Illegal immigration is the breaking of a governmental law. There is nothing in Scripture that contradicts a nation having immigration laws. Therefore, it is a sin, rebellion against God, to illegally enter into another country. Romans 13:1-7 does not give any permission to violate a law just because it is unjust. Again, the issue is not the fairness of a law. The only biblical reason to violate a governmental law is if that law violates God's Word. When Paul wrote the Book of Romans, he was under the authority of the Roman Empire, led by perhaps the most evil of all the Roman emperors, Nero. Under that reign, there were many laws that were unfair, unjust, and/or blatantly evil. Still, Paul instructed Christians to submit to the government. There is nothing in the Bible to prohibit a country from having completely open borders, or to have completely closed borders. Romans 13:1-7 also gives the government the authority to punish lawbreakers. Whether the punishment is imprisonment and/or deportation, or even something more severe, it is within the rights of the government to determine

You are utterly pathetic and many good posters have absolutely shredded your posts.

No Martin Luther to provide religious freedom, no Magna Carta nor Oliver Cromwell from England to provide political freedom, no Adam Smith to describe how economic freedom works, no dissident Anglo Saxon Protestants (yes there were a few assimilated blacks, Jews, and Catholics as well) and where is the background to create the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States?

If not for the folks I mentioned, just how many centuries before other Europeans or your non Europeans would have created such a country?

If all the folks you mention are the real cause of American greatness, why are the countries FULL of JUST those people or mostly those people the places that many of those very types of people are leaving to come here to be with all the white folk and other Americans?

Again there are 20 Latin American countries for you to pick from and live in and yet you are more interested in eliminating the two Anglo countries where life is better. Is that because YOU don't want anyone to see that there IS a difference between Latino and Anglo CULTURES in terms of being able to have a land of Liberty?

That does not mean race as there are Anglos who do not really assimilate to Anglo-American culture and live as failures as well as a few Latins who have fully assimilated to the Anglo American culture and reap success in spite of their cultural ancestry.

If you want the good old Aztec days move to Mexico and relive them! Join the drug lords and get your kicks with human beheadings. That should be close enough to the human sacrifices your ancestors enjoyed! How much religious freedom did your ancestors have to opt out of the human sacrifice in your good old days? How much political freedom did your ancestors have to stand up to their despotic rulers?

You can get close to that again! Move to Mexico and work for the drug lords and let me know how it works out for you!
