Mark Tooley touched on a hot spot of this issue. Having “religious institutions” condone and support illegal behavior. As in most illogical arguments of this type, giving the most favorable label to the offending part of the issue is crucial.
While technically ambiguous, in this issue, the term immigration is used kindly. The majority of illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America have no intention of becoming an American or “immigrating” to this country. They are here for the jobs and money, a great portion of which they send “home.”
Their home country supports and encourages this behavior and is rewarded handsomely, as in the case of Mexico it brings in the second highest income amount behind their oil production.
The “church” cheering for this just uses the very people it purports to care about. Just what the illegal aliens need…more friends.
Often wondered if Canada were in economic woes and sent its people across the border. Thousands of Canadians, standing on corners of US city streets looking for work. Would the reaction to their presence bring out the rage of Americans? Would the church shout “racism?”
I look at it this way. I have doors on my house, and these doors have locks, for a reason. Should someone enter my home uninvited, I am not going to ask them what country they are from, they are in my home illegally.
