When emotionalism meets scaremongering, its difficult to have a useful debate about anything. Yet for immigration, those seem to be the two choices.

The Trump administration has adopted a zero tolerance policy requiring law enforcement to prosecute illegal immigrants. Yes, the policy comports with the law. Yes, the Obama administration engaged in a similar policy on a smaller scale and yes, the media covered it very differently.

But, no, President Trump doesnt have to temporarily break up families. He chooses to strictly implement the law, claiming, among other things, that it is a necessity in stopping gang violence. Trump officials inability to deal with the mess they created incompetently implementing their policy, and the public relations disaster resulting from that ineptitude, is on the administration, and no one else.

Trump has admitted, in fact, that zero tolerance is not only meant to cut down and discourage illegal immigration, but its a gambit to push Congress towards some form of a broader immigration deal that favors his priorities. Its difficult to believe that Democrats, whove eagerly embraced the ugly optics of separation policy, will be more inclined to agree to a deal now. You cant simultaneously argue, as Trump officials have, that youre being forced to do this, then admit its a negotiating tactic as well. At least, not convincingly.

Moreover, even if everything Trump is saying is true, theres got to be a more humane way to deal with families that are separated. Any policy, for instance, that fails to let parents know immediately, and continuously, exactly whats happening to their children, is immoral and it seems to me such things can be fixed administratively. It can certainly be fixed by Congress.

The idea, however, that this is something hatched completely in a vacuum is absurd. Even if separation policy is misguided, and I think it is, the administration doesnt kidnap or snatch little children from immigrant parents. Nor is the policy equivalent, in any conceivable way, to the Holocaust or human rights abuses of third world nations.

So when people like Joe Scarborough offer hysterical analogues, comparing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are temporarily separating illegal immigrant parents from their children while cases are being heard with Auschwitz guards leading children to cyanide showers, they help create a moronically hyperbolic atmosphere that makes it increasingly impossible to fix anything.These children deserve better, yes, but there is no evidence that they are being willfully mistreated. In some cases, they are being protected.

Moreover, despite perceptions, often created by the president himself, the Trump policy isnt really zero tolerance. Those who claim asylum at ports of entry are not separated from their children. Only parents charged with entering the country illegally and who claim asylum after being apprehended are detained. Adults who choose not to be deported have to wait for adjudication of their case. While this happens, the law prohibits children from being held in the same detention centers as adults.

One of the underlying policy problems, largely ignored by those covering this story, is that in the past families who claimed asylum were often released with a bracelet (one that could be easily removed) if they promised to show up at a hearing at some later date. They often did not show up. Does anyone on the Left know how to fix this problem? Do they believe its a problem, at all? It sure doesnt seem like it.

The Trump administration, after all, didnt invent the cages that are being used to temporarily hold families who attempt to illegally enter the country. Our border policy was a mess long before Democrats were selectively citing scripture to shame conservatives. Actually, Trumps here in part because its a mess.

Instead of explaining the complicated dynamics of the problem, many in the media are stoking outrage by doing things like conflating unaccompanied minors with separated children, making no distinction by age or circumstance.

Trying to blame Trump for an influx of young foreign citizens is misguided. The majority of kids in care of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, most often teenagers, are apprehended because theyre here without any parents. Its a growing problem. In 2013, a little fewer than 40,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended by the Border Patrol. That was a historic high. In 2016 there were nearly 60,000. This year there are likely to be more than 80,000.

As Doris Meissner, the director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, recently told CNN, its a phenomenon that dates from just the last few years, and was not one that the Bush or early Obama administrations confronted in any significant numbers.

Moreover, what should border enforcement do with unaccompanied children? Unless your position is that anyone who wants to walk over the border should be able to do so, including children, there will be detention centers, and a fraction of the people in those detention centers will be children.

Its true that some Republicans act as if everyone coming over the border is an MS-13 drug mule, while some liberals act as if there is no criminality associated with unregulated immigration, even from a nation experiencing an epidemic of lawlessness and violence. But perhaps the biggest tragedy of the immigration debate is that, despite the acrimony surrounding it, its probably the most easily fixed. The majority of Americans still arent ideologically rigid on the issue. Theyre open to immigration (and to Dreamers), but most also want secure borders. Falsely feeding the dueling perceptions that the United States is a budding fascist state or anarchy without a border create a political climate that makes immigration impossible to fix.

See the original post:
Our Debate On Illegal Immigration Is A National Disaster

As soon as the Trump administration adopted zero tolerance policy requiring law enforcement to prosecute all illegal immigrants at the border, it became clear that officials werent prepared to deal with the crush of kids that would find themselves under their supervision. Nor were they able implement policy in a humane way.

Family separation is callous and ineffective, but its existence doesnt excuse the ginned-up moral panic, the pious grandstanding, or the historically illiterate associations to Nazi death camps unleashed by its critics. Nor does it excuse the fact that Democrats have shown zero interest in dealing with the undermining problems that propel these situations.

Why wont the GOP stand up to Donald Trump?! is the well-known refrain from those who lock-stepped their way through the eight-year hard-left turn of Barack Obama. Yet, every Republican member of the Senate claimed to support legislation to fix existing laws that separate children from parents who are caught crossing into the United States illegally even as the president defended it. Ted Cruz, despite criticism from the president, has proposed, perhaps overly optimistic, legislation expediting asylum claims by adding more immigration judges and prioritizing families to be processed first.

So maybe the House (also working on legislation) and the Senate wont be able to come to an agreement. Or maybe Trump will veto the bill. We dont know. Not that any of it is going to matter if Democrats block the legislation, which is what they were promising to do before even seeing it.

There are so many obstacles to legislation, and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is a co-sponsor of proposed Democrat legislation to supposedly fix the problem, stated. Legislation is not the way to go here when its so easy for the president to sign it.

Now, I realize Democrats have gotten used to the idea of a president ruling with a pen while concocting immigration law unilaterally. But even though Trump acquiesced to pressure and signed an executive order, the subsequent action will not be easy. Democrats know that the administration could be stopped by the courts, and that the long-standing Flores consent decree complicates efforts to enforce border laws and keep families together. They know that only legislation can allow both to happen. Theyre more interested in returning to the status quo.

Someone should ask leading Democrats if they believe any illegal immigrant bringing children should be detained at the border for any reason whatsoever? Because Democrats, who ignore the moral cost associated with thousands of children wandering over the border, have yet to explain how we can possibly know if these kids are going to ok if we have no way of ensuring their parents compliance to a court?

Someone should ask Schumer if he opposes the child separation policy or a zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration. Has any Democrat clarified why the latter position doesnt incentivize more migrants to bring children (sometimes their own, and sometimes not) on the dangerous trek over the border rather than to a ports of entry? Theres been a spike of families and unaccompanied children at the border over the past five years. Claiming amnesty after apprehension is basically a get-in-free card.

Someone should ask Democrats what kind of illegal immigrant they believe doesnt deserve de facto asylum. Im well aware of that most of people flowing in from South America are escaping poverty and violence, and highly sympathetic to their plight. But I assume migrants who properly ask for asylum are in the same situation other than being punished for following rules.

Im a pretty liberal guy on immigration open to more asylum seekers, bigger immigration, more temporary workers, etc. But Im not a huge fan of chaos. And I suspect Im not alone. Yet, we have Democrats and activists calling for the elimination of ICE. We have a Democratic Party unwilling to make any compromise on the issue even when we faced with a surge of migrant children. As Gabriel Malor pointed out in The Federalist this week, the proposed legislation cosponsored by every Senate Democrat was so carelessly written that it would prevent federal law enforcement agencies almost anywhere inside the United States from arresting and detaining criminals who are parents having nothing to do with unlawfully crossing the border and seeking asylum.

Its neither healthy for the country, nor the people who come here seeking a better life, to be thrown into a system that doesnt work. Nor, as we increasingly see in Europe, is it politically tenable to rely on emotionalism as a means of ignoring all law.

Democrats Have Zero Tolerance For Illegal Immigration ...

With the terrorist killings in Brussels, Paris, San Bernardino, CA and Orlando, FL and the further threat of terrorist incursion in America due to a nave or misinformed understanding of what the Bible actually teaches about immigration, I am reissuing What the Bible Says About Our Illegal Immigration Problem this week in order to provide you with a better understanding and a sound systematic theology pertaining to this subject.

My prayer is that God will use His Word to be of help as you solidify your thinking about this ongoing problem. The situation is increasingly critical and so I hope and pray that I can help you in this way. Let me know what you think at our weekly Bible studies. Its always a great aid to learn from your feedback; as a matter of fact, Congressman Stevan Pearce greatly contributed to my thinking on one of the summary points in this study.

May God guide your actions as you study what He says about nations and immigration.

Ralph Drollinger

A newsletter on this subject from Congressman Randy Forbes serves as an apt introduction to this study. I quote:

According to widely circulated news reports, 60,000 youth will cross our nations southern border this year, up tenfold from 2011. According to Reuters, the number of illegal immigrants under the age of 18 entering our country is likely to double in 2015 to nearly 130,000, costing American taxpayers $2 billion. So far, unaccompanied youth have been housed in shelters in Arizona and military bases in Texas, California, and Oklahoma.

This month, the Department of Justice announced a new program to enroll approximately 100 lawyers and paralegals to provide legal services at taxpayer expense to youth crossing our border unaccompanied by their parents.

Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security announced a renewal of the Administrations policy to grant relief from deportation to youth brought into the United States illegally by their parents, if they meet certain criteria. According to the Department, as of April, over 560,000 individuals have already received such relief.

The above serves to illustrate biblically uninformed thinking. What the Bible has to say about this should lead the Public Servant to vastly different conclusions and actions especially in light of the recent Brussels terrorist attacks.

Before we begin the journey into Scripture on this subject, it must first be said that when it comes to presenting Bible studies on policy issues it is the responsibility of the careful Bible expositor to discover the analogous, repeated voice of Gods Word on a matter (or if not specifically spoken of in Scripture, to discover and apply related and proper biblical principles). Conversely, it is not the job of the expositor to necessarily offer detailed policy positions or solutions. Thats your job as a Christian legislator, and it is, I might add, a more difficult one. A Bible expositor in the Capitol should be pre-political, or, in other words, offer a biblical basis for policy formation. And in order for you to do your job effectively and in a way that pleases God, you must first have accurate biblical input. Without this pre-political guidance, it is much more difficult to arrive at policies that are both pleasing to God and beneficial to the advancement of the nation.

ITS DIFFICULT TO ARRIVE AT THE PROPER DESTINATION WITHOUT ACCURATE DIRECTIONS

The book of Judges illustrates and serves to underscore deficient, ill-principled reasoning in contrast to obeying God when it twice says, every man did what was right in his own eyes (17:6; 21:25). This should be our concern regarding immigration policy because biblically uninformed policy inevitably makes for bad policy.

This is perhaps best illustrated by the No Fault Divorce legislation that Ronald Reagan signed into law as the Governor of California in 1969. He would later state that this was his greatest regret.1 The policy backfired, having a deleterious effect on marriage and our country because it is based in pragmatic expedience, versus biblical exposition. More specifically, No Fault Divorce laws undermine the biblical teaching of Genesis regarding Gods intended construct of His ordained institution: to cleave (dabaq) meaning to be joined together and as a result become one (echad) flesh (cf. Genesis 2:24). Echad carries the idea of pluralistic oneness. All that to say, No Fault Divorce serves to illustrate pragmatic based policy devoid of Gods guidance. It can accurately be said then, that:

PUBLIC SERVANTS ARE TOO OFTEN PRO GMO WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE AND OTHER POLICY DECISIONS

(GMO is an agricultural abbreviation for Genetically Modified Organisms and is a huge concern as man alters the DNA of what God designed.) All that to say, may Immigration Reform be not driven by expedience and convenience! May everyone be quick to do what is right in Gods eyes! As tempting as quick-fix pragmatic solutions might be, they lack Gods wisdom, and therefore end up hurting more than helping the country. Keep this in mind as you weigh Immigration Reform policy.

(The intent of my occasional Bible and Policy Series is to provide you with bedrock biblical principles for your framing of God-honoring policies. Hopefully what follows is a balanced, nutritious meal ready for the diners consumption, brought forth from Gods kitchen, without any waiter alterations.)

Our understanding and construction of a systematic theology on immigration must begin (like most theology) in the book of Genesis. After the flood in Genesis, chapters 7 and 8, God repeats His command (cf. Genesis 9:1 & 7) to mankind the one that is first given in Genesis 1:28 to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Think then, of Genesis 9, as a makeover.

Whats happened here is this: after the fall of man (Genesis 3) Gods creation begins to show an ongoing, increasing proclivity to disobey Him even His simplest commands. It is this overt, ongoing and accelerating rebellion that necessitates the flood, the makeover. But inundation did not put an end to insubordination: soon thereafter creations defiance of God surfaces again in yet another way. Rather than scatter from the region of Ararat after the flood (per Gods specific command in Genesis 11:4) and in concert with His earlier commands to fill the earth the descendants of Noah willed to do just the opposite! They desired to stay put and build a monument! But this monument was not to honor how great Thou art rather for how great we are! That monument is known as the Tower of Babel. Note how God reacts to fallen mans one nation mentality in Genesis 11:6-8:

The LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible forthem. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one anothers speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.

Not good! The descendants of Noah were the first empire builders, bent on amassing their personal power. Here then is the underlying biblical reason why God wants there to be a diversity of nations this is fundamental to understanding the mind of God as it relates to this weeks study.

THE SIN NATURE IN MAN NECESSITATES THE SEPARATION OF MAN INTO INDEPENDENT NATIONS

This is Gods way of counteracting mans fallen nature. The axiom, Power corrupts and absolute power corrupt absolutely2 is underscored by the dispersion of man in Genesis 11. As a matter of fact, it is this same principle of Scripture that informed our Founding Fathers relative to the separation of powers within our one Government. The Tower of Babel illustrates the same idea: that one of the results of Mans fallen nature is his tendency to accumulate and then misuse power. Babel illustrates an all-out quest for a one-nation-in-the-world form of existence and governance, wherein man worships his own greatness rather than Gods. Babel serves to illustrate mans open defiance of God. Its modern-day equivalent is the philosophy of Humanism.

Further evidence of Gods opposition to a one-nation-world is the future establishment of such a world by the coming Antichrist. Note Revelation 13:7 in this regard:

It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

At this point in time God will grant Satan and his pawn, the Antichrist, temporary control over Civil Government as the Antichrist rules over a one-nation-world.3 Thus, both Genesis 11 and Revelation 13 in different ways serve to underscore this biblical truth and rudimentary principle in the formation of a theology on immigration:

GOD DESIRES THE WORLD TO BE COHABITATED BY NUMEROUS INDEPENDENT NATIONS

This foundational premise is where our study of immigration must begin because many things flow out of it: For instance, some people think that God today is for a borderless world. He is not! It follows from Genesis 11 that nations, by Gods design are to have different languages, cultures, and boundaries. Out of necessity and remedy for the fall and the power-hungry presence of sin, it is easy to understand why this is Gods blueprint for today. In this way God is more apt to receive glory from His creation than if, like the prideful world-conquering empires of history Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, the dream of Hitler, or that of the coming Antichrist mankind becomes caught up in self-worship and uses his unchecked assimilation of power to abuse others whom God has created in His own image and likeness. The witness of history however is this: the diversification of nations principle has been violated by many would-be world conquerors. Accordingly, and importantly, so the Lord scattered is a passage one must count as fundamental to the immigration debate. Summarily, this is the reason and the basis for multiple, independent nations, the existence of which is so fundamental to a proper Christian worldview and understanding.4

It follows that, if Gods design is for independent nations then there must be national borders and boundaries for those independent nations. And it follows that there must be enforcement of borders and boundaries by governments in order to maintain a nations independence. All of this logically flows from so the Lord scattered.

Now add Romans 13:1 from the NT to our theological construction. This passage expressly states and reinforces the proposition: God is the author of independent nations:

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

Notice the last part of this passage: those which exist are established by God. Scripture teaches not only that the Lord scattered people, but in addition, specifically that He established governments and nations. These are key constructive, essential principles relative to immigration. In addition, note that this is all part of what theologians term the mediatorial reign of Christ, i.e. how God in His sovereignty manifests His reign during His physical absence prior to His second coming wherein He will personally reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

That the will of God is for the existence of independent nations with national borders and boundaries is further evidenced by Gods descriptive words relative to the classification of people in the OT nation of Israel:

In numerous OT passages the student of Scripture learns that the God of Israel distinguished among three types of people in the land; those are summarized in the following sidebar.

The above are important biblical monikers of distinction that God makes relative to people in a given country. An Israelite citizen is referred to as a countryman (ach) in Scripture,whereas a legal immigrant is referred to as a sojourner (ger) or toshab, and a foreigner is called an illegal (nokri) or zar. Important to this study, and evident from the OT, is that an illegal did not possess the same benefits or privileges as a sojourner or countryman. This fact can be illustrated from many passages. Notice for instance the words of Ruth the Moabite, and her response to Boaz the Israelite in Ruth 2:10:

Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?

Not only was Ruth a foreigner (nokri), an illegal immigrant, she was a Moabite illegal, who according to Deuteronomy 23:3 was forbidden to migrate into Israel altogether! For Citizen Boaz to entertain Ruth at all was remarkably generous and gracious, and possibly even against the law of the land. (Perhaps Boaz already had in mind legitimizing her status by marriage.) The point is that Ruths self-declaration serves to underscore the classification of people in and by ancient Israel.

Furthermore, a citizen/countryman was expressly forbidden to take advantage of or mistreat a legal immigrant, known as a sojourner, per Exodus 22:21 and Deuteronomy 10:19 respectively:

You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt (ESV).

Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt (ESV).

In forming an immigration theology, a sojourner could be likened to a legal immigrant and a foreigner could be likened to an illegal immigrant today. Note Hoffmeier, a biblical expert on this subject:5

A sojourner (sometimes translated as stranger) was a person who entered Israel and followed legal procedures to obtain recognized standing as a resident alien.

Hoffmeier goes on to say, that on the other hand, Israel treated illegal immigrants differently:

Illegal immigrants should not expect these same privileges from the state whose laws they disregard by virtue of their undocumented status.

These standard categories of ones standing in a given nation, and the differentiation between citizens, immigrants and foreigners are representative of the will of God. In fact, these categorizations have been the distinctions in the mind of God ever since He scattered the people into different nations in Genesis 11. Further, the classification of people today in most every nation is based on Israels OT example. Summarily it follows:

THE GOD OF INDEPENDENT NATIONS DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF A NATION

Therefore, governmental leaders today in every nation to be biblically accurate should invoke and staunchly maintain legal distinctions of status between their resident peoples: Citizens, Immigrants, and Foreigners. To remain biblical, these distinctions should never be obliterated. No reformed immigration policy should attempt to eradicate these distinctions; to do so is to posture oneself as more knowledgeable and insightful than God.

Why have I spent so much time on matters that seem so basic? As obvious as the aforementioned points may seem, there are those who believe that because God calls us to be impartial, and because God created all mankind in His image (Lat: Imago Dei), that believers should be the leading proponents of a borderless world one with no classifications or categorizations of people within a given country! Such a perspective however misunderstands what biblical impartiality and Imago Dei mean and do not mean. For instance, Leviticus 19:15 defines and properly contextualizes the concept of biblical impartiality:

You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

In discussing impartiality, God does not scrub the aforementioned distinctions of various people in Israel; impartiality nowhere in Scripture negates the aforementioned precepts if ones legal status in a given nation. This passage points to the fact that to treat one illegal immigrant who possessed wealth differently from one without money is what is partial. To say that God created everyone in His image does not negate the biblical concepts of, in this case, legal status in the land: to clarify the point, a bank robber, a murderer, and an illegal immigrant are all created in Gods image, but that fact does not place them above the law of the land! Often, attempts are made to foist impartiality or Imago Dei onto the discussion about immigration policy. Such attempts however serve to reveal the proponents ignorance or else deliberate twisting of Scripture.

It is critically important for Public Servants to understand and apply the aforementioned biblical precepts relative to the formation of immigration laws because Romans 13:1-7 and 1Peter 2:13-14 imply that in Gods mind, in His economy for creating nations and governments, He intents for the leaders of a nation to protect the citizens of the nation. Note in this regard Romans 13:4:

For [Government] is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

In this passage, Paul, a citizen of the Roman Empire, is addressing believers who are citizens of the Roman Empire living in the capital city of Rome. Not only does he state here the need for citizens to abide by the rule of law, which includes immigration law, but in addition, he implies what the motive should be behind the legislators (ministers [diakonia], meaning servants) lawmaking: to look out for the welfare of its citizens; i.e. such lawsare intended to you for good.

It is not overreaching to reason from this passage that immigration laws, like all of a nations laws, should stem from a desire to protect the nation and its citizenry.6 That protection should deter a myriad of intrusions by illegals: weapons of destruction, disease, property and job theft, the importation of illegal drugs, and the like, which could result from illegals who have never pledged their allegiance to the nation and its laws, but rather have broken the laws of the land by entering the country illegally.

In that God intends for citizens to obey their governing authorities, and in that those authorities have deemed positive and negative migratory policies, (again, assuming their laws have been informed by Scripture) it follows that:

THE IMMIGRATION LAWS OF EVERY NATION SHOULD BE BIBLICALLY BASED AND STRICTLY ENFORCED ALL WITH THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE AND ASSURANCE THAT GOD APPROVES SUCH ACTIONS BY THE NATIONS LEADERS!

Similar to a parent who incorrectly feels guilty for spanking a rebellious child because his conscience is not sufficiently informed by Scripture, the conscience of the lawmaker too, should be informed by Gods Word on this subject. And Gods Word says He frowns on illegal immigrants just like He says He frowns on children ruling the roost!

It need be especially underscored that an advocate of immigration restriction is not necessarily a racist. Policies preventing illegal immigration should stem from biblical motives of ensuring the general welfare of the nation versus denying a would-be immigrant the potential for a better way of life. To procedurally exclude foreign individuals who might be criminals, traitors, or terrorists, or who possess communicable diseases is not racist in the least! It is good stewardship to protect the citizens of a nation who have unmistakably pledged their allegiance to that nation and their fellow citizens! Holding to a biblical theology on immigration in no way implies that one is necessarily a racist!

One additional misnomer that is common to current debates on immigration is the charge that those who are tough on immigration are patently compassionless. Just the opposite is true! This can be illustrated in a myriad of ways: One is an economic argument:

IN A WORLD OF LIMITED RESOURCES AND GDP, FOR A NATION TO ENFORCE NO BOUNDARIES OR DEFENSES RELATIVE TO ALIEN INCURSION IS IN THE END TO BE COMPASSIONLESS

Such leniencies, as evidenced by current American immigration policies and the facts quoted in the introduction to this study, eventually bankrupt the treasury. This happens when non-citizens are the recipients of endless entitlement grants, health benefits, employment insurance, education scholarships, etc. all given to those who have never pledged allegiance to the flag that they willingly take from! A nation with overly lenient immigration policies will always end up insolvent. Its difficult to manifest compassion when you are bankrupt yourself.

The standard of Scripture on immigration is obvious, consistent, and not difficult to understand.

THE QUESTION AS TO HOW A NATION THAT HAS SO WILDLY STRAYED FROM GODS STANDARD AND RETURNS TO GODS STANDARD IS A COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT ONE

Stemming from the biblical precepts examined, there are at least six NT biblical principles that add additional insights on this matter:

As gleaned from Romans 13:4, Paul states under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, for it [government] does not bear the sword for nothing.

Governments are to seek the welfare of their people by punishing evildoers (1Peter 2:13-14). People who are illegals are a threat to the welfare of those who are citizens. It is out of an inherent desire imbued by their Designer, that governments want to protect their citizens as a mother does her child and if they dont, they should. In terms of immigration, for a government to be pleasing to God and receive His blessing, it has no option but to protect its citizenry from illegal immigration per Romans 13:4 and 1Peter 2:13-14. It must always protect its borders and punish those who enter illegally. Any governmental response that is less than this violates Gods clearly revealed intention for government and invites chaos (as we now are seeing on our southern borders).

Part of the curse of the fall of man in Genesis 3:17-19 was the economic necessity that man would now have to work in order to obtain necessary provisions. Paul restates this same idea when he reminds the Thessalonians that Jesus did not come to abolish the need for personal industry:

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either (2Thessalonians 3:10).

The Institution of Government is not Gods intended means for providing for people; rather Governments role is limited to the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right (1Peter 2:13-14).

GOD INTENDS FOR PEOPLE TO SUPPORTTHEIR GOVERNMENT, NOT FOR THEIR GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THEM

Fundamental to immigration reform is the need to remove the magnet of alluring governmental entitlements that serve to entice illegal entry. Such forms of provision are not pleasing to God and only work to destroy personal honor, character, and productivity in the recipient. Government entitlement programs are not biblical for anyone, let alone illegal immigrants. Nowhere in Scripture does God state that He created His Institution of Civil Government to meet the needs of the people. (In other Bible studies I explain in much greater detail that God ordained the institutions of Marriage, Family and Church to meet the needs of the distraught, among other purposes but not the Institution of Civil Government!) Said again for emphasis, God intends for people to first meet their own needs; but if for some legitimate reason that is impossible, their needs are to be met by other individuals in their family, or else the Church, but not the State. In the genius of God, the real needs of the individual can be met much more effectively and efficiently through those closest to him or her than by the impersonal Institution of the State.

Akin to the previous point, also based upon Romans 13:4 is the inherent responsibility of a government to advance the country, meaning its leaders will want to enact immigration policies that only allow people into the country who can advance it, not detract from it. It also means that its schools should prioritize the enrollment of its citizens over immigrants and exclude illegal immigrants.

In that every country is competing with others in the world market, the less the tax the more competitive the nation. Having stated that, God grants every government the right to collect all forms of tax from every citizen. Note Romans 13:6-7:

For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them; tax to whom tax is due.

Especially interesting to this topic, the Greek word for taxes (phoros) specifically relates to the taxes a person would need to pay to those who conquered their nation. The double emphasis being this: Even if one is in subjugation to a foreign leader (which is the case with an illegal immigrant), he is nevertheless biblically obligated to pay taxes. Further, the word for render (apodidomi) has the connotation of paying something that is owed.If concessions are granted to allow illegal entrants to obtain citizenship status over a period of years while remaining in the country as a part of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, then this biblical insight needs to be taken into consideration in a God-glorifying workout plan. Illegal entrants should have to pay at the least their fair share of taxes (if not more as a fine for past lawless actions).

Again, in Romans 13:4 God intends for Governments to bear the sword relative to enacting justice. They are to be an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. This means Government is sanctioned, bound, and responsible to punish those who break the law. There must be an extraction of due recompense for crimes committed, including illegal immigration in order for a government to be characteristically just with and to all of its citizens. Appropriate and just fines need to be levied both if illegal entrants choose to stay and work toward citizenship or choose to leave. Gods attribute of righteousness and justice means there is always to be a payment to balance an offense (versus simply letting an illegal go back to his or her country with no fines). This principle suggests that immigration reform must demand a cost for those who have entered America illegally. In light of this principle, immigration amnesty creates an injustice toward those who have instead worked through the legal process to become a citizen of the United States.

When you think about it, whereas God, individuals, families, churches, and corporations can manifest grace and mercy, the Institution of Government must be just. Whenever Government favors one group over another, it manifests corporate injustice. Therefore, fundamental to Immigration Reform is the need to demand that illegal entrants meet the same requirements as others who have legally obtained citizenship status.

What follow from these exposited biblical principles are at least six applications relative to immigration. These need to be manifest in Comprehensive Immigration Reform in order to create laws that are in line with, and pleasing to God. They are:

A: Foreigners should not be allowed unregulated entry into a country. Borders and oceans should be impenetrable so as to discourage illegals entrance.

B: Foreigners should not be able to partake of any governmental entitlements. (Governments should not be in that business to begin with.) Nor should they be allowed to have any licenses, legal identification, or enrollment in any institutions.

C: Foreigners who can help advance (not detract) should be afforded sojourner/ immigration consideration. It follows then that foreigners who are already in the country seeking citizenship should have citizen-sponsors who can testify to their past value, productivity, present character, and loyalty.

D: Foreigners should be required to pay taxes similar to those paid by citizens, both present and past due.

E: Illegal entrants, whether headed toward citizenship or expulsion, should be justly punished.

F: Not all of the responsibility of illegal immigration should be placed on the shoulders of each illegal immigrant because of the simple fact that the institution itself, the Government of the United States, has continually violated the biblical principles associated with immigration. The repeated, long term violations of the institution itself in specific regard to having fostered and prolonged illegal immigration, need to be taken into consideration in working out the problem.

At the risk of crossing the line from the expositors discipline of being pre-political only, governmental inaction coupled with entitlement magnetism has led to an inordinate number of people who now live here illegally. It follows that in the quest for God honoring justice, that governmental exceptions need to be made to achieve a successful work-out plan for a stated period of time; it is not as if the institution has clean hands in this matter. In this vein of thought, ensuing actions of immigration reform and restitution should not be construed as an unjust display to those who have gained their citizenship legally, as much as it is the manifest, public repentance of our Government for having prolonged, having knowingly and repeatedly broken Gods principles relative to the aforementioned.

May God grant you, our lawmakers, wisdom in crafting this last point into a policy that is pleasing to God. I pray for you in this regard.

1 Judy Parejko, author of Stolen Vows: The Illusion of No-Fault Divorce and the Rise of the American Divorce Industry, (InstantPublisher, 2nd Edition, 2012) states CA Assemblyman Hayes was responsible for doggedly pursuing [the no-fault divorce] bill because he was facing a divorce and he didnt like the rules at the time. Nowadays, his actions would be called a conflict of interest.2 John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834-1902) is credited as the author of this quote.3 In a study of the doctrine of sin, specifically Corporate Sin, it should be noted that Satan is not presently in control of Civil Government (a theological gaffe shared by many Evangelicals who thereby reason that All governments are evil and logically justify their separation from any involvement in it thenceforth). Even though Satan acts like he controls the world when he tempts Christ in Luke 4, we know elsewhere from Scripture that he does not (in the Luke 4 temptation Satan is lying to Jesus).4 This is the biblical basis and reasoning as well for why a country should not use its military might to conquer others, eclipsing whatever other pragmatic reasons might be proffered. Fortunately and rightfully, this has not been a historic temptation of our superpower nation.5 Hoffmeier, James K. The Immigration Crisis: Immigrants, Aliens, and the Bible (Crossway Books, Wheaton, 2009) p 52.6 Such proper attitudes are reflected by the lawmakers who wrote the US Constitution. It states that the laws of America are motivated by and meant to ensure domestic tranquility and to provide for the common defense. Such are noble, biblical desires that needcontinue to be incorporated in the attitude and spirit of necessary immigration reform policies.

What the Bible Says About Our Illegal Immigration Problem

Barack Obama has declared that immigration reform is an economic imperative, and is promising to do his best to get an immigration bill pushed through Congress this year. But will legalizing all of the illegal immigration that has taken place over the last several decades improve the struggling U.S. economy or will it actually make our economic problems worse? One of the favorite tricks of top politicians is to promise that the economy is going to improve if we just support what it is that they are currently pushing. Hopefully the Americans people will not buy the nonsense that Obama is spewing. The truth is that Barack Obama is wrong about the economic impact of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants dont do jobs that Americans dont want to do. A million Americans recently showed up to apply for a job at McDonalds. That is how desperate Americans are for work these days. Please dont try to tell me that there arent millions of Americans out there that would not pick fruit for minimum wage. The millions upon millions of illegal immigrants in this country are stealing jobs, they are depressing wages in a whole host of industries and they are a huge factor in the erosion of the middle class. Millions of middle class American families cant afford to provide for their families anymore and are losing their homes, drowning in debt or going bankrupt. Rather than what Barack Obama is proposing (which is to essentially legalize illegal immigration), we need an immigration policy that makes sense and that protects American jobs.

Before we go any further, it is important for me to make a few points. It is not a bad thing that people want to come to this nation from another country. A lot of people that want to come to the United States are really hard working and have really solid character. This nation has a long tradition of immigrants arriving to build a better life here. At different times this country will need different levels of immigration, but we will always need new immigrants. People on one side of a border are not more valuable than people on another side of a border. There is a reason why our founding fathers believed that all men are created equal. In every nation on earth there are really wonderful people. We should love all men, women and children no matter where they were born and no matter what they look like. God created us all and He loves us all dearly.

The reason I went into all that is because of the way politics is played in America in 2011. The moment that anyone suggests that there might be a problem with illegal immigration they are immediately branded with all kinds of horrible labels. To put a horrible label on someone that is completely and totally untrue just to score political points is absolutely despicable.

The funny thing is that some of the organizations that denounce others the loudest should actually be examining themselves. For example, one of the largest pro-illegal immigration organizations is called La Raza, which literally means The Race (as if we all couldnt figure it out). Perhaps it is time for them to come up with a new name.

Look, we all have to start learning to love each other. If not, our society is going to continue to break down.

A majority of the American people (yes, that is what the polls show) are not against illegal immigration because they hate another group of people. Rather, they just want all immigrants to go through the front door and they want the government to be sensitive to changing economic conditions.

The sad truth is that the U.S. government has absolutely refused to secure the U.S. border with Mexico for decades, and this has allowed millions upon millions of criminals, drug dealers and gang members to cross freely into the United States. In addition, by refusing to secure the border we have allowed new diseases to spread unchecked into this country.

Meanwhile, the law abiding people that would like to get into this country legally are put through absolute hell. I used to practice law and I have filled out immigration forms. The process is a complete and total nightmare.

So we have been making it really easy for law breakers to sneak in the back door of our country and we have been making it really hard for law abiding people to get in the front door.

What in the world could be wrong about wanting to fix that?

Once many illegal immigrants arrive in the United States they either try to make a living legally (by directly competing with blue collar American workers for jobs and driving their wages down) or illegally by selling drugs or being involved in other kinds of criminal activity.

Apparently Barack Obama believes that this kind of behavior should be rewarded with a path to citizenship.

The vast majority of illegal immigrants pay absolutely nofederal or state income taxes and they never intend to. At the same time, they seem more thanhappy to take advantage of the free social services and benefits offered to them. In fact,stories of how good life in America isjust encourages more and moreimmigrants to come to the United States illegally.

We need an immigration policy that insists that everyone come in through the front door.

Is there anyone out there that cannot agree with that?

We also need to set immigration levels that our economy can handle.

Right now our economy is struggling. Millions upon millions of Americans are out of work. 44 million Americans are on food stamps. 47 million Americans are living in poverty. We just cant take in a whole lot of extra workers right now.

You would think that would just be common sense.

But instead, Barack Obama wants to grant amnesty to all of the illegal immigrants that are already here and put them on a path to citizenship.

Wow do you think that might embolden millions more illegal immigrants to come flooding in?

Barack Obama is against a border fence. He says we dont need it.

Meanwhile, thousands more illegal immigrants pour into this country every single day.

Barack Obama supports all of the sanctuary cities that have openly declared that they are not going to enforce our immigration laws.

So where do you think illegal immigrants are going to flock to? The truth is that word about these sanctuary cities gets around really fast. If you live in one of these cities, then you probably know all about it.

If Barack Obama gets his way, nobody will be breaking our immigration laws because essentially there will not be any more immigration laws.

Not that George W. Bush was any better. He was an absolute disaster on immigration as well.

The truth is that our immigration policy has been slowly eroding the U.S. middle class for many decades.

But according to Barack Obama, we desperately need to implement his immigration reform plan for the good of the middle class.

One way to strengthen the middle class in America is to reform the immigration system, so that there is no longer a massive underground economy that exploits a cheap source of labor while depressing wages for everybody else.

What a joke. The reality is that illegal immigration hurts that U.S. middle class and it is severely damaging to the U.S. economy. Because of illegal immigration, every single day wages are lost, taxes dont get collected, hospitals provide free health care for which they are never paid, huge criminal gangs of foreigners are roaming our streets and the cost of providing social services to illegal aliens is slowly bankrupting state and local governments.

The following are 18 facts which prove that illegal immigration is an absolute nightmare for the U.S. economy.

#1 Illegal immigrants take jobs away from American citizens. According to a review of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau data, legal and illegal immigrants gained over a million additional jobs between 2008 and 2010 even as millions of American citizens were losing their jobs during that same time period.

#2 The majority of our immigrants now sneak in through the back door that the federal government purposely leaves open. Thanks to the negligence of the federal government, far more people move into the United States illegally than come in through the legal immigration process. This has got to change.

#3 Illegal immigrants generally dont pay taxes. The vast majority of illegal aliens would never even dream of paying income taxes, but Mexicans living in America send billions upon billions of dollars out of the United States and back to Mexico every single year.

#4 Although illegal aliens pay next to nothing in taxes, they have no problem receiving tens of billions of dollars worth of free education benefits, free health care benefits, free housing assistance and free food stamp benefits. Many communities in the United States now openly advertise that they will help illegal aliens with these things.

#5 The cost of educating the children of illegal immigrants is staggering. It is estimated that U.S. taxpayers spend $12,000,000,000 a year on primary and secondary school education for the children of illegal immigrants.

#6 Thanks to illegal immigration, Californias overstretched health care system is on the verge of collapse. Dozens of California hospitals and emergency rooms have shut downover the last decade because theycould not afford to stay open after being endlesslyswampedby illegalimmigrants who were simply not able to pay for the services that they were receiving. As a result, the remainder of the health care system in the state of Californiais now beyond overloaded. This had led to brutally long waits, diverted ambulances and even unnecessary patient deaths. Sadly, the state of California now ranks dead last out of all 50 states in the number of emergency rooms per million people.

#7 It was estimated that there were approximately 7.7 million illegal aliens employed by U.S. employers during 2008. How much better would our economy look if all of those jobs were being filled by American workers?

#8 The region along the U.S./Mexico border is now an open war zone. Just across the U.S. border, the city of Juarez, Mexico is considered to be one of the most dangerous cities on the entire planet because of the brutal drug war being waged there. In fact, Juarez has now become the murder capital of the western hemisphere. Much of that violence has begun to spill over into areas of the southwestern United States.

For example, a while back NPR described one incident in the Juarez Valley that involved American citizens.

A couple of weeks ago, gunmen in the Juarez Valley killed the Mexican relative of a Fort Hancock high school student. When the students family in Fort Hancock heard about it, they crossed the border at 10 a.m. to see the body, and took the student with them.

By 10:30, they had stabbed the relatives that went with him, which included his grandparents, with an ice pick, says school superintendent Jose Franco. My understanding is that the gentleman is like 90 years old, and they poked his eyes out with an ice pick. I believe those people are still in intensive care here in a hospital in the U.S.

#9 A substantial percentage of young illegal immigrants end up in gangs. U.S.authorities say that there are now over 1 million members of criminal gangs operating inside the United States. According to federal statistics, these 1 million gang members are responsible for up to 80% of the violent crimes committed inthe U.S.each year. Latino gangs made up primarily of illegal aliens are responsible for much of this violence.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, some of the most notorious gangs in the country are made up almost entirely of illegal immigrants.

Gang investigators in Virginia estimate that 90% of the members of MS-13, the most notorious immigrant gang, are illegal immigrants.

#10 The 18th Street Gang is certainly giving MS-13 a run for their money. It is believed that the 18th Street Gang has thousands of members in the city of Los Angeles alone. In fact, the gang has become so notorious that there are even rumors that some police officers in Los Angeles simply will not venture into the areas most heavily controlled by the 18th Street gang.

The following is what Wikipedia says about the 18th Street Gang.

A US Justice Department report from 2009 estimates that the 18th Street gang has a membership of some 30,000 to 50,000 with 80% of them being illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America and is active in 44 cities in 20 states. Its main source of income is street-level distribution of cocaine and marijuana and, to a lesser extent, heroin and methamphetamine. Gang members also commit assault, auto theft, carjacking, drive-by shootings, extortion, homicide, identification fraud, and robbery.

#11 The drug war in northern Mexico is one gigantic bloodbath. The Mexican government says that as many as 28,000 people have been slaughtered by the drug cartels since 2007. A very significant percentage of those deaths have happened in areas right along the U.S. border, and yet our federal government still sees no reason to get serious about border security.

#12 It is an open secret that Mexican drug cartels are openly conducting military operations inside the United States. The handful of border patrol agents that we have guarding the border are massively outgunned and outmanned.

Oneagent who patrols theborder and whoaskedto remain anonymoustold Fox News the following.

To say that this area is out of control is an understatement.

A different federal agent put it this way in an email to Fox News.

Every night were getting beaten like a pinata at a birthday party by drug, alien smugglers.

#13 Federalborder officials say that Mexican drug cartels have not only set up shop on U.S. soil, but they are actually maintaining lookout bases in strategic locations in the hills of southern Arizona. If you go to Arizona today, there are actually signs that have been put up by the federal government warning American citizens not to venture into certain wilderness routes that are used by Mexican drug cartels to bring in drugs.

#14 The drug war being waged on both sides of the border is so violent that it is almost unimaginable. For example, one very prominent Mexican assassin known as the soupmaker has confessed that he made approximately 300 bodies disappear by dissolving them in acid baths. But right now there is essentially nothing that is preventing the next soupmaker from crossing the U.S. border and moving into your neighborhood.

#15 Arizonapolice are being openly warned by the Mexican drug cartels that if they try to interfere with the drug traffic in their area that they will be taken outby drug cartel snipers.

#16 While the U.S. military endlessly hunts for members of al-Qaeda in the caves of Afghanistan and on the streets of Iraqi cities, a very real threat has been building just south of the border. Over the past 15 to 20 years, Hezbollah has set up operations all over Mexico, Central America and South America. Hezbollah is reportedly making a lot of money in the drug trade and in trafficking illegal aliens. Sadly, our government is largely ignoring this.

#17 Each year, it costs the states billions of dollars to incarcerate illegal immigrant criminals that should have never been allowed into the country in the first place. It is estimated that illegal aliens make up approximately 30 percent of the population in federal, state and local prisons and that the total cost of incarcerating them is more than $1.6 billion annually.

#18 The drug cartels and the gangs always seem to be a couple steps ahead of our agents along the border. Approximately 75 tunnels along the U.S. border with Mexico have been discovered by law enforcement authorities in the last four years alone.

How much do you think all of this crime, gang violence and drug cartel activity is costing our economy?

Why wont the federal government do what the Constitution requires and secure the border?

Oh, but Barack Obama says that he has a plan.

He says that he is going to save the day.

The following is how Barack Obama describes his plan

We are not going to ship back 12 million people, were not going to do it as a practical matter. We would have to take all our law enforcement that we have available and we would have to use it and put people on buses, and rip families apart, and thats not who we are, thats not what America is about. So what Ive proposed is you say were going to bring these folks out of the shadows. Were going to make them pay a fine, they are going to have to learn English, they are going to have to go to the back of the linebut they will have a pathway to citizenship over the course of 10 years.

So how many illegal immigrants do you think are going to step forward to pay a fine?

One percent?

How many of them do you think are going to show up for English classes?

Who is going to make them do it?

Obama?

Are we going to have law enforcement officials running around trying to collect fines from illegal immigrants and trying to get them to attend their English lessons?

According to Obama, the millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that are in this country are going to be glad to willingly do the following.

1) Admit they broke the law

2) Pay back taxes and a fine

3) Learn English

4) Be willing to undergo background checks before starting the legalization process

Those four points are taken directly from Obamas plan.

So what are illegal immigrants going to do when this plan is passed?

99 percent of them are going to laugh and they are just going to keep on doing what they have been doing.

Large numbers of illegal immigrants are already enjoying the high life in the dozens of sanctuary cities across the United States.

The following is how the Ohio Jobs & Justice PAC defines sanctuary cities.

Generally, sanctuary policies instruct city employees not to notify the federal government of the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities. The policies also end the distinction between legal resident aliens and illegal aliensso illegal aliens often benefit from taxpayer funded government services and programs too.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Can I sign up for that plan?

After all, who wouldnt want to earn all income tax-free and yet enjoy unlimited government services?

Today we are being told that we need to make life as comfortable as possible for the waves of illegal immigrants that are coming in. In fact, Barack Obama says that all of us need to make sure that our kids are learning how to speak Spanish.

I dont understand when people are going around worrying about, we need to have English only. They want to pass a law, we just, we want English onlyNow, I agree that immigrants should learn English, I agree with this. But understand this, instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English, theyll learn English, you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.

All of this is utter insanity.

The cold, hard reality of the matter is that we have tightly secured the border between South Korea and North Korea for over 50 years and we could secure our own borders if we really wanted to.

But instead, we continue to leave our border with Mexico completely wide open. Thousands of criminals, gang members and drug pushers continue to come in completely unchecked every single day.

Meanwhile, the rest of us have to subject ourselves to some of the most humiliating security measures imaginable before we are even allowed to get on to an airplane.

It doesnt make a whole lot of sense, does it?

Barack Obama Is Wrong: 18 Facts Which Prove That Illegal ...

Illegal Immigration and illegal immigrant are terms that have recently come under severe attack by the Associated Press and other groups and publications that seek to destroy the terms. These authoritarians hope to control minds and beliefs by dictating what language people can and cannot use in America.

Sure, you can still say the words illegal alien or illegal immigrant, but the Associated Press will no longer carry articles by journalists who refuse to adhere to their 'Newspeak' dictates in the AP 'Style Book'.

Illegal immigration, illegal immigrant, and illegal aliens are the predominant terms that most Americans and lawmakers use to describe people who are in America but should not be.

Half of America's illegal immigrants overstay their visas, demonstrating to us all that they are not trustworthy. The other half of the illegal immigration invasion of America are people who paid the murderous drug and illegal immigrant smuggling gangs and cartels thousands of dollars to sneak them into America under cover of darkness, while evading our law enforcement agents!

If you are planning to call the Department of Homeland Security to report illegals, report illegal immigrants, or report illegal aliens then we have to warn you the chances are less than 1% they will respond to your call for help. Even if you have solid evidence of a company hiring illegals, our Homeland Security Department under Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano is more interested in helping illegals instead of you! Barack Obama is supporting illegal immigration and amnesty for illegals!

Numerous scientific polls show us the true facts and statistics about illegal immigration. These polls and surveys show us that large majorities of Americans want our borders secured and existing immigration laws enforced instead of any form of Amnesty that would only encourage more illegal immigration.

Despite these facts and statistics, our American lawmakers and government refuse to protect our states and innocent citizens from this deadly and destructive illegal immigration invasion!

Here at ALIPAC you can learn more about the history of illegal immigration in America and the history of our fight against illegal immigration. We have built and continue to create the world's largest archive of information in existence on the topics of illegal immigration, illegal immigrants, Barack Obama and George Bush on immigration issues as well as the history of illegal immigration, facts, statistics, polls, surveys, activism, problems with illegal immigration and much more.
