Personally....I'm waiting on where it gets to whoever has the biggest club wins. They are just searching for ANY excuse and any statement that will somehow validate their cause. I mean they want to dismiss law...they want to dismiss whoever WON the war...whoever signed the treaty....anything. One of my favorite bible stories is the story of Ruth. To think that God who wrote the 10 commandments didn't have some respect for the laws.....or to tell the Jews exactly the boundries of the Promised Land.....and TO think boundries aren't Christian.....is a joke. There were boundries and laws from day one. Right down to don't pick the darn apple to being thrown out of the garden of Eden for breaking the LAW.
I don't care what law. Even the Angels have a heirachy and there are RULES. Good, bad right and wrong.
Suffering....being poor....none of those things were an excuse for Earthy disobedience of laws....or an excuse for taking.
I mean isn't the hope of the Bible for the life here after? Not utopia here on Earth?

I haven't seen any Bible verses. BUt I would imagine the same reason and methodology that applies to any other argument in which someone tries to use the Bible in their argument. The Bible has many conflicting scriptures in it. So one can use one verse to make one argument and one verse to make an opposing argument. It's best to leave the Bible out and just stick with the laws and normal ethics. Ethics would be the Golden rule or human rights for all humans and the law would be civil rights for citizens.

If you really want to be technical about the Bible here goes.Anti's say render unto Cesar's that which is Cesar's and also to obey the laws of the land.Pro's say no man is an alien in the land and to love one another.Now comes the tricky part...Jesus repeatly told his followers "To love one another as I have loved you" According to the Bible God said "No man's law is above the law of God" So with that who do you feel is right? The laws of the land or the laws of GOD?I choose God since he OWNS us.
If you noticed I used BOTH anti and pro analogy.God said both things but when HATE becomes the issue then God's law over rides man's laws.I see too much HATE on this forum.Man's laws as far as Borders I'm sure God has no problem with.But the HATE he does.

I don't bring up the Bible but I am familiar with the verses:
“When a stranger dwells among you in your land, do not taunt him. The stranger who dwells with you shall be like a native among you, and you shall love him like yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt—I am the Lord, your God” (19:33-34). “If your brother becomes impoverished and his means falter in your proximity, you shall strengthen him—stranger or resident—so that he can live with you” (25:35).

Jesus was an immigrant folks. He was born in Bethlehem in a manger to parents who were Jewish from Jerusalem. When he was 2 years old they did not ask for permission they packed their bags and became refugees in Nazareth. that is why he was known as Jesus the Nazarene.

I don't care what the Bible has to say either way. The only thing I care about is what it says in the Immigration and Naturalization Act.

Which verses are those that reflect badly on illegal immigrants? In Biblical days, you could move wherever you wanted.

I have never heard any Biblical argument for OR against illegal immigration. God does want us to follow the laws of our government, and last time I checked, immigrating illegally is still breaking the law...

They want to play the guilt complex on those who disagree with them. Much like other things in life. Only take what they want to hear, rather than absorb it all.

The bible is sufficiently vague and metaphorical to be useable in backing up any position.
