I hear people saying that illegal immigrants are breaking the law.This is a law made by man.The Lord never intended for this kind of law.Everyone breaks the laws of God every day.But you do not look at yourselves and the laws you break.
The Lord intended that all people should live together and love one another.That there should be peace love and charity.But mans laws have gone against the laws of God.It easy for people to say pray and ask the lord to help us in the time of need.But then people turn there back on him the rest of the time.Do you really think the Lord is going to help you in the time of need when the rest of the time you turn your backs on him?
The lord said judge not lest you be judge also the same.
He also said what you do to the lest of mine i will do to you also seven times more.
Love the neighbors as you love thy self.
man has the problems God has the answers.
The choice is yours to make.it simple.God or man.
I will follow God and his son Jesus

You have a valid question, Archangel. And like someone else answered, Jesus did say: "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's..."
That said let's now look at how immigration laws came to be in this great country of ours. Europeans came to this land and just took this country from the Native Americans claiming it for their very own. They did this by use of steel and gunpowder and they herded the Natives into reservations, forced them into death marches and even gifted them blankets tainted with Smallpoxes. This is without saying anything about breaking every treaty ever made with the Indians.
Then they sat back all high and mighty and wrote their laws which made immigration into this great land of ours(???) a legal issue.
Illegal immigration along the Southwest border has been going on forever. People cross, make a few bucks and go back. Now it becomes an issue because someone suddenly realized, "Hey, we're becoming a minority!!!"
Americans blame 9-11 as if the 9-11 pilots crossed the Rio Grande to get here! Terrorism and illegal immigration are two different, seperate issues so we need to stop confusing the two.
This is a nation of immigrants so drop the 'holier than thou' attitude and chill out. If White, middle-class Protestant Americans become a minority, they become a minority. Deal with it. If its going to happen, its going to happen.
God's laws supercede all others.

The bible was written by people. God has only spoken to very few living humans several thousand years ago. All the information we have about Gods word has been funnelled through this very small elite few. Now a couple of more thousand years have passed and no one has had a communication. Frankly, I'm more that a little worried. The only thing we get is reassurance from our clergy that he's still out there. There's a lot of money at stake in this faith business for them.
As for man's law. If you get caught breaking it you will be fined or go to jail. All of man's laws are based on God's laws so take the safe road. Follow man's law and you will be free to roam and preach.

Since you mentioned it, let's DO talk about the catholic church's 'contributions'. 'Go forth and multiply' might have been a valid philosophy in 53 A.D., but this is the year 2006, 21st century and all, science, machines that fly around, all that Buck Rogers business. Also, a world of 6.6 billion people. There are no more predators left on earth, except other people. The tighter resources get, the more people will be preying on each other.
We had 2 world wars in the 20th century, then a lot of people after that trying to prevent a third. Take the 'go forth and multiply' and stuff it back in your pointy little hat. Get with the times, get educated, common sense over religious rhetoric, I say.
It's not america's solemn duty to feed or support the world. By encouraging people to over-breed, which seems to be what the catholics are best at, these days, they are helping to foment conditions that will result in some decidedly un-christian behavior. And, let's break out some Jesus, while we're on the topic, give a man a fish vs. teaching him to fish. Welfare breeds dependency. How much tax money do YOU think should be spent on supporting those that haven't learned to support and sustain themselves? Just keep your hand off MY wallet, please...
keep on with that religion stuff, maybe you'll recieve the 'enlightenment' yet! LOLOL

Jesus would not promote the overrunning of the government structure by this massive influx of people who come here and in many cases add an additional tax burden to communities for school expansions, welfare costs, health care costs etc.
helping is one thing being ran over is something else Jesus i think would say fix mexico i gave you enough to live there its not a place of desolation and the bible is filled with gods love and guess what laws yes laws and god did not promote open borders and the bible is filled with cruel acts sometimes done by god or he told people to do them .
Exodus 23:20-31 "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River. I will hand over to you the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you.
Exodus 20:12-17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Proverbs 25:17-17 17 "Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you."
Leviticous 19:11-"'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly."
he said love your neighbor i dont mind if our goverment helped mexico in fact i would say we have done enough now its time mexico grow up !

No amnesty and deportation not legalization of illegal immigrants.
What are Catholics in the pews to make of their bishops’ costly, all-out commitment to a version of immigration reform that would swell today’s high legal immigration, undermine workers’ bargaining power and do little to curb future illegal entries?
The bishops’ lobbying goals for immigration are radical, expansive, and generous to a fault. They explicitly endorse the two guest worker programs, amnesty for illegals, and lavish increases in regular family and employment immigration in Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy’s proposed legislation — the Safe America and Orderly Immigration Act (SAOIA). (Many of the provisions of this bill had been incorporated into other Senate immigration bills by early 2006.) The bill’s breathtakingly expansionist proposals, and its paucity of serious border control and enforcement measures, suggest that US Catholic Conference lobbyists did their work well in the drafting.
Using a guest worker program as political cover, the Kennedy-McCain bill and similar others would in effect amnesty ten to eleven million illegal immigrants that settled here before May 2005. Without waiting to see the labor market and fiscal effects of that mass amnesty, Kennedy-McCain adds on 400,000 or more guest workers a year from abroad. Both categories of guest workers and their dependents would be eligible to apply for legal permanent residence after four years here.
That waiting period is necessary to support the fiction of the bill’s backers and the bishops that this arrangement is not a widely opposed “amnesty,” but “earned legalization.” The employment category of regular immigration visas for skilled and unskilled aliens would more than double to 290,000 a year. Immigration of relatives of citizens and resident aliens would nearly double from its present ceiling of 480, 000. Kennedy-McLain, according to some estimates, would raise overall immigration to 25 million over the next ten years.
No to amnesty and no to any politician that advocates it.
As a thinking agnostic I see no reason for your religious Gods to be involved in a government problem.

But if we have no laws here on earth, then how can one be expected to follow the laws of God?
Not to mock, but what does the Lord know of International Copyright Laws?

The bible was written by a bunch of hungry monks in the dark ages who drank strong, contaminated beer for sustinence and had "visions of god" today they would be locked away for pelling that sort of claptrap. Seriously, go to any mental institution and you can meet lots of delusional people who claim to hear the voice of god. Who is to say that isn't how the whole ridiculose business got started in the first place?

Imposing your beliefs on everyone else does not make a valid argument.
Add. : I don't believe in God, so no his rules don't come first in my world.
Add. : Are you kidding me? The world is going to Hell because not everyone is on the exact same page as you? That is the most ridiculous, ignorant statement I've heard yet on this site.

You do realize that not everyone worships God?? Or not the same God (s) ?? So your argument is moot, you can not expect people to live by YOUR religious beliefs/standards.
For many people they see mans laws as the most important.
And furthermore I don't think God minds us UPHOLDING/ ENFORCING our immigration laws do you?
