[Vision2020] Illegals--how convenient

[mekt7 at netscape.net]

 When the government starts murdering illegals, we can talk. Bible taloks about the proverbial Jew in the attic. You still haven't defeated my argument about ignoring government laws not having consequenceses for all. (bad cionsequences)

Jaywalking and speeding are wrong, because they are illegal. Murder is wrong because it's wrong, period, and only secondarily happens to be illegal. Hiding Jews in one's attic during the Holocaust was righteous and God-ordained, but happened to be illegal. 
 
Do you really think that "it's wrong because it's illegal" is the best demonstration of righteousness? If that were the case, you would then be ceding government power over your very soul. I think you don't want to do that. 
 
If you did, though, I'd fight for your rights, even if it were illegal.

 So I'm eager to hear from Mekt7 how he came to such a conclusion, and I hope he responds so we can all hear. 
 
Of course, it'll be a little tricky for me to change my orientation -- having worked with illegal immigrants for more than a decade, I'm aware that some of the most deeply committed followers of Christ Jesus I've ever known have crossed without papers, and not arrogantly but desperately and in faith. And I know that if it came down to feeding my family or not, I would trust in God to provide for me but 
 
I live hand to mouth. I am part of America's Working Poor. I know what it means to not know where the money to pay the bills comes from. Just remember, God ordained government. Ignoring it has consequences. Here is a documented example. I was recently reading a book on immigration by Roberto Suro. He talked about the Mam Indians of Guatamala. Many of them are Evangelical Christians who came illegally, not to avoid the death squads, where seeking asylum would have been appropriate, but for jobs. They have pretty much taken over the janitorial services in a major grocery store chain in Houston. The only problem was that their children began joining gangs. Many families took their children back to Guatamala, gave up their jobs to save their kids. It might sound a little simplistic, but it is true. Bad things happen when people ignore God's instructions and Laws. I don't hate Mexicans. I pray for the Mexican economy almost daily. That being said, illegal immigration is still wro!
 ng, because it is illegal.
