This country has a very racist and prejudiced past.Maybe God is punishing America through illegal immigration since God believes in equality.First the white settlers killed the native Americans and took their land to make their own, then they enslaved thousands of Africans to do their work.That was long ago though.He probably had it when segregation came around. In those days, the way some whites treated blacks was disgusting.Also, the treatment of Asian Americans and Hispanics was not all that great neither. And the treatment of homosexuals is bad (even if God doesn't like homosexuality he sure doesn't want his children beaten,killed and harassed) After segregation, many in this country still kept their prejudice feelings.The U.S. has a long history of unequal treatment for women.Also, many racists claim to be Christian shaming God's name. So is God sending all these illegal aliens into this country to punish those who do not want to accept diversity by forcing it upon them?

This I dear..it seems that you are saying that God is also viewing illegal immigrants as an unwanted group as well as the people of America.Why would God use one set of disadvantaged people who are only seeking freedom from poverty and oppression as pawns against the citizens of america when it means the illegal immigrants will continue to suffer.Surely when god wants equality he would not then put the minority and inequal who have suffered enough up against those who already have the power to put them back into social and emotional bondage..I don't think America is being punished i think America and the world reaps what it sows.Man to man is so unjust.Not a God.
One love.

Long before the white man set foot on this continent, Native Americans had Raiding Parties and War Parties.
Raiding Parties were self-explanatory.
Raid your neighbors, plunder his village and enslave them.
War Parties were for retribution.
The white man did not enslave blacks alone. There were black slavers as well. There were even black slave owners.
I believe Mexican history is rife with the same.

The USA South has long been pegged as the most racist in the nation.
But the Confederate Army was fully integrated as Whites, Blacks, Hispanics. Native Americans and Chinese fought together, shoulder to shoulder in defense of their country.

No. God is not punishing American for illegal immigration. We're punishing ourselves quite nicely thank you. Illegal immigration is just a response to Americans way of life. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty or work the hours that illegals ARE willing to work. Do you like your weekends and time off? I'll bet you do. But the work that needs to be done, still needs to be done. And somebody's going to have to do it. Yes that work can be unpleasant and may not pay very well but nevertheless that's what makes modern society tick. We used to have a ready and willing supply of workers in this country that wouldn't think twice about working, for say, a farmer. But nowadays having a teenager get a job without a college education or at least a well rounded activity routine, (sports), or social schedule, ( hanging around or knocking up the girlfriend), is becoming unthinkable. Get off your *** American, or your going to pay dearly for it. And don't forget to consider that the average age of the American farmer is in the mid to late 50's. And they want to take time off too.

well first off your assuming that everyone believs in the same God as you do. Secondly even if we did believe in the same God as you he's probably not punishing us unless your talking about having liberals try to let illegal immigrants take over, so he would be punishing us not with illegals but stupid liberals. As for our past I think we deal with that all the time The Indians have Casinos now and make more money than they know what to do with. If Blacks hate this country so much then they are free to leave at any time. Asians wer imprisioned during WW II so that we could try to protect our service members, and Hispanics would have no issues if they would apply for legal citizenship and would learn the language rather than trying to get free citizenship and trying to get everyone to know their language. Homos have nothing to do with this issue since it even says in your bible that men shouldn't lay with other men as they lay with women.

This has nothing to do with punishment for slavery or fag bashing, it has everything to do with greed. The illegal aliens are a product of some business's quest to maximize profits to the detriment of the rest of us. Coupled with the corruption that is rampant in the system where the corporations are basically our de facto governors.

It's the beaners that are causing this mess but I guess you think there's a super-natural cause behind everything that goes on just like most naive Jesus Freaks do.

I think that our inept government is punishing us through illegal immigration. That's what we get for leaving the constitution in the past. I'm sick of this and I'm voting Ron Paul.
