Christians and immigration........?

Question

I'd like the opinion of said "TRUE" christians if there are any left like myself.

Few among us have unblemished records. However, when applied to the immigrant, it seems no matter what the circumstance, no matter how long he has been here or how hard she has worked, they are to be judged by one standard only: How they got here.

"Our enemies hate us for our freedoms."
"Christians love the sinner but hate the sin."
We use these words to reinforce a prejudicial viewpoint, but in almost every case we use them with no thought to their true meaning.

What do you true christians think?

Answer 1

IM A Christian believer andUS CITIZEN AND DONT MIND ILLEGALS BEING HERE. Once europeans traveled to America because it was so mest up and they did not have the freedom they wanted, Indians welcomed them with open arms and they did not suffer anymore. Know Mexicans felt they might have a chance here in America, dont get me wrong all Mexicans that I have met and that are illegal have told me that they wish to live in Mexico so bad because they are free but unfortuneatly low paying jobs, rape, and the government just keeps getting worst and worst. If you have read the news, they are trying to make prostitution legal. They already made abortion legal and cops down there are very corrupt, they try to take away your money so they wont take you to jail (for no reaon, even if people are just walking down the street) . Same with Cuban's, they feel like they have no other option than to immigrate to florida or Mexico because they have a corupt goverment and luckiliy some make it through. I have met so many Cubans back in Florida and I understand their pain and most tell me that if one day there country goes back to the ways it used to be, they wont even think twice and go back. I wont waste my energy trying to convice people about racism, ignorance and hate will alway be around as long as you let it be. After all, we are all human and the real criminals are the ones that murder and commit sin. Crossing borders is not sin and shouldnt be called criminals, nobody owns this country but god.

Answer 2

Hello,

Your question has been more or less answered by Christ in the parable of The Good Samaritan, Samaritans were essentially half Jewish and half Assyrian brought about by Jews who collaborated with their Assyrian overlords and married and had children. These were regarded as awful mongrels so to speak much like a colored kid in the Southern US 50 years back who had mixed parents. Anyway we are told that every man is our neighbour and we should treat them accordingly no matter what are feelings or predjudices are against them.

I think its just a matter of Caucasians knowing that what has gone around for so long (Caucasians putrefying and slaughtering every culture they've ever come across since the beginning of time as we "know it;" Start with the Indo-Aryans who came down from the North and wiped out the original Vedic texts then go to the American Indian and move to the Middle East to see what is happening now and then go back to EVERYONE in between) is starting to come around. YOU ARE ALL DEVILS and now your time for an end is near!
I see no difference between what religion a person hides behind to justify their cause.
If you put your religion above or before the One true G-D then you destined for H*LL no matter what you do.
Good luck........... you all need it.
Except those that are the truly faithful, they shall be spared.

You may all justify you acts by whatever reasons you choose, even financial, but the U.S. government has been GIVING $8,000,000,000 of YOUR precious tax money to Israel since before the Carter administration ($8,000,000,000 equivalent) to aid it's campaign against Palestinians, which includes the shooting of stone throwing CHILDREN in the back.
I suppose its unfortunate your taxes can't be used in such an "effective" manner here in the States.
You will all be sent back to where YOU belong.

Answer 4

Would a true Christian force people to donate to charity or would they ask? Hard working citizens are paying for illegal immigrants to be here in many ways. Loss of jobs and competitive wages, government benefits for illegals and their children, overcrowded schools and jails, closing hospitals and rising insurance costs. How much charity is enough? It really does matter how they got here, because we can't fit everyone in the world into this country all at one time. Where is your compassion for your fellow citizens? Or do you really think this is simply a racial issue?

There will be no illegals in heaven. We will all need a special 'passport' to get in. Is that unfair?

Answer 5

Yeah. No. it somewhat isn't gonna artwork for me. there's a reason they are noted as illegals. Yeah, i'm getting the entire bleeding coronary heart 'they are purely attempting to get to an greater handy existence' blah blah blah habitual. yet heavily? If i wanted an greater handy existence, i ought to in straightforward terms scouse borrow each and every of the failings i wanted rather of certainly working to pay for them. Its not approximately whats elementary. that's approximately what's suited. And in case you question me, i don't think of its suited for somebody to have the skill to illegally go into yet another united states of america and get each and every of the reward of living there yet with no need to pay taxes or make a contribution in any variety or vogue. not in straightforward terms does it get rid of jobs for individuals, notwithstanding it weakens the financial device because of the fact the money they are paid without delay is going off the grid and in many circumstances is back to their united states of america of foundation, and is not back into the american financially flow, making the USD well worth much less and much less primary. it is not suitable what faith you're. suited is robust and incorrect is misguided.

Answer 6

No, Fairy, you are the ONLY one left who REALLY knows the true meaning of Christianity.

It applies to us ALL that no matter how long we have been here, or how hard we have worked, if we commit a CRIME we are sent to jail. Illegals , at least, just get depoprted so they can return and do it again.

Answer 7

I am a Christian (most likely not true) but I would never use the name of God to try to prove a point. I believe that God cares equally for all of his children, and that one day I will have to stand in judgment of the wrongs I have committed.

Answer 8

I belive that God instituded the law, & laws are meant to be obeyed. If we condone illegal immigration we condone breaking of the law. Remember Jesus said anyone that does not enter in by the gate is a thief. Why did Nehamia return to jerusalem, what happened to jericho when the walls were knocked down. I belive that this is a warning to be watchfull.

Answer 9

I am a Christian -- I will let you label me "true" or otherwise -- and I recall that it is said that if you deny a favor to "the least of these" it is like denying it to Jesus Christ, because each human being has Christ in him or her.

I would no more tell a person they can't enter this country because they might cramp my style -- nor for the color of their skin -- than I would deny them a cup of water if they were thirsty. That would be unChristian.

And I agree that a lot of anti-immigrant talk is a secret way to couch bigoted feelings. If there were millions of undocumented British citizens here, no one would bat an eye. The immigrants from Mexico are easy to spot, and are ostracized the same way Black people once were.

Answer 10

Why is this question just to Christians? I dont really understand your question, but as a Christian myself I have never uttered those words in reference to an immigrant
