It’s not just religion, though I’ve only met one person in seventy years that has reported that he read the Bible from end to end, the other fields are terrible too. Political and economic understanding is just as dismal. All one has to do is read the comments section of most sites, to know we’re in the age of the idiot. I know that saying can be overused but, with so many examples today, it bears repeating. Very few people will listen to a good and usually talented writer like Mr. Farah. If one reads the comments section below his article, one finds the faithful mixed who didn’t need to read it arguing with people who should have read and understood what he said before commenting. Seventy-five percent of the US population believes, ‘My mind is made up, don’t try to confuse me with facts.’

Our “leaders” in and out of the church tell us it is our duty to allow our property to be taken for the sake of the upkeep of these illegals and the criminals who employ them. But as with so much else in this country today, lawlessness rules.

As you have pointed out before, we are doomed.

Leviticus 19:34 – “The stranger who sojourns with you shall be as a native from among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord, your God.” – This refers to a convert who “shall be as a native from among you” – e.g. adapts our laws, customs, languages. It’s certainly NOT a “right of return” of people who would completely change the land and is NOT a justification for RECONQUISTA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista_(Mexico)

It means that if Sean and Ilana Mercer obey American laws and are productive Americans, they should be treated as Americans. It means that if my (Chinese) daughter undergoes a formal conversion, keeps kosher, marries a Jew , etc. – she gets to be treated as an Orthodox Jew (“shall be as a native”) and her children are accepted as native-born (just as I am “completely” American even though my father was a refugee from Nazified Austria).

I doubt that most who oppose “open borders” advocate brutalizing, exploiting, and tormenting illegals; rather they wish to preserve the rule of law, our land, and our property from invasion.

Numbers 15:16 (King James)

For all those dabbling in Judeo/Christianity – that’s an indictment of illegals.
