If God wanted a line in the sand would he not put it there. Americans belive there is a line along the northern section of Mexico and pretend it is a great sin if a Latino would decide to cross it .even though the land beyond it rightfully belongs to Mexico . but that is another story.
should americans be more concerned with the people that are illegal in Gods eyes. such as gays who do not live like the bible says or jews that are responsable for killing jesus or the minute men who kill people ?

If Mexico would have fought harder during the Mexican American War this wouldn't be an issue.

God didn't draw a line in the sand? What about the land for his chosen people that is talked about in the bible, Torah and Koran?
I don't think it is a sin for the people of Latin decent to come into this country, but doing it while breaking the law of our land is breaking the law not sinful.
This land does not actually belong to the Mexican people anymore than it now belongs to the American Indians.
Because we have so many different religions in America, who's god do we have to follow? The christian god? That is a bit stupid. The bible is a bunch of BS so no we should not follow it.
What minute man has killed anyone? I have not heard that they have killed anyone, However I have heard of the illegals killing people. Plus the drug runners and coyotes have also killed people along the border.

I think Americans should decide as it is our country. God tells us to obey the law of the land. So are Mexicans who cross illegally sinning? They are definitely not obeying the law.
I once heard a great suggestion about the border. We should build a fence all the way across. Every 50 yards we should have a tower on the wall with a 50 caliber machine gun mounted. Every couple days we should test fire them into Mexico.
As to the land belonging to Mexico we took it from you by force and then were kind enough to pay you for it. It is ours. Also as far as I have heard the minutemen have killed no one. However if they did I am not sure I would see killing someone invading our country as a crime.

This is a classic example of the upsatnding Christian man that George W. Bush has become chosing not to believe in any earth that god created because that would make all men free to roam. Selective religious beliefs I would call that...oh ya, and the killing of innocent civilians in lands far away from his, that's ok too.
To answer you're question, no, god should not decide. If there is a god, he hasn't made a decision in a long time, as you can clearly see by the state of our world today.
Sorry 'bout your luck buddy. You're going to have to either wallow in the filth or revolt to change it. :)

Most of us are familiar with the situation described in Matthew 22:15-18. The Pharisees brought to Christ a coin bearing Caesar's image and asked Him if it was appropriate to pay taxes. The Jews of Christ's time hated the Roman occupation. To say yes, it is OK, would alienate the Jews. To say no, you should not, would be treasonous and open to prosecution by the Roman government. Jesus said, in verse 18, "Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?" Here hypocrisy was the masking of their malicious intent.......The moral of this situation......OBEY THE LAW OF THE LAND!!

Pedro I was thinking of moving to Mexico at one time. I asked your government what I had to do. They said I needed proof of income of at least 1000 dollars a month. Be disease free. And a couple other things before I moved there. So why doesn't your country pactice what you preach?

There has been more bloodshed in the name of God than anything else.
I wouldn't want to follow the rules of such an egotistical tyrant.

No, there is no god, only governments. I really don't care who comes into this country, but sign the guestbook (cross legally) on the way in and PAY TAXES!!! The same taxes that I pay.
I am curious, why does nobody want to stay in thier home country and help make IT better?

If the man at the inn would have known it was Jesus looking for a place to stay he would have surely let him and Mary in....if we would recognize the face of Jesus in those immigrants, we would make necessary sacrifices to let them in. After all, Jesus said, "whatever you have done for one of these you have done for me."

Sorry, Pedro. God gives governmental leaders (good and bad) their powers, so to disobey one of man's laws is to disobey God.
He was certainly concerned about the boundaries of Israel when he first established it.
