Why are many American Christians so opposed to immigration? That's directly in violation of their religion. [Spirituality & Religion]

The bible contradicts itself in a lot of ways on a lot of subjects, but it is very consistent on the subject of immigration. The bible is extremely pro-immigration. There is an abundance of bible verses about "treating the sojourner as your friend or neighbor" and "inviting them to your feasts."

"Christians" are not against immigration and never have been. That's silly. "They" do not have a unified positon on such a issue. However, Americans who happen to also be Christians are against ILLEGAL immigration. Christians are admonished to obey the laws they are citizens of, especially those passed in democratic/republican systems of government. This happens to include the legal process by which omeone comes into the country. Thus they are in fact following Biblical injunction.

Perhaps the question is why the world thinks Americans - Christian or not - must accept the violtaion of their laws to accomodate anyone who decides to illegally corss their borders, something no other country is expected to do ...or does!

@Abrienda Well spoken! When the OP best answers someone posting just one line stating that they are full of sh*t, clearly the OP is not interested in proper discussion.

@Abrienda you all can't tell the difference between illegals and legals and none of you know how the system works.

most illegals are waiting for their papework to go through which sadly due to all this stupidity takes forever.

there are some who've died before they were processed.


proud of yourselves?

@Abrienda And to follow up, perhaps "Christians" in America do not wish to have happen in their country what has happemd in Sweden, Germany, Austia and France where non-citizens terrorize and rape and murder those who were born their and converted parts of their once beautiful cities into no-go zones where the poice will not venture.

@Abrienda Don't waste your breath with the OP. I posted a comment directly related to christian belief on immigration but she won't address it because it doesn't go along with her christians are sh*t prejudice.

@Abrienda Ah, the good ole' "bait and switch" maneuver. Change someone's argument to something other than what they said, then attack that fake argument because you know you can't say a goddamn thing about what they really said. Seriously, this shit works on children, and stupid people, but not on anyone with a brain.

@PissAndVinegar First of all that you have just shown your hatred for Chrstans and the Bible makes you unfit to discuss this subject as you not really interested in what Christians truly believe. Moreover, Ann Coulter has any religious standing, while to use one quote (which I don't beleive is true anyway)from someone who says she is a Christian and somehow use that to demonize all Christians is both Red Fascist(you can relate to that am sure) and stupid.

I mean you are a criminal, badly educated and nyet kulturny, but I don't think that makes all Russians like you.

However I can see how my appealing to the rule of law would be lost on a self-admitted criminal like yourself. Frankly, if I had to choose between an urka like you and Putin I would take Putin every time. Good luck in prison.

@BlueMetalChick I responded directly to the false premise of the question. Pity you cannot understand that, just as it is a pity you are so illiterate you cannot make an argument without resorting to obscenities - the mark of a true child intellectually.

However I do understand why the word "shit" comes so easily to you and others of your type - like your carnival-show tattooed urka friend here - as you simply are referencing what no doubt makes up most of what is in between your ears and passes for your brain.

@Abrienda That's not what a false premise is, rucka. You gotta learn what that word means before you say it. It's funny, because you just totally fucked up at using a word, and then called someone else illiterate. It's beautiful that works, isn't it?

I'm not "resorting" to obscenities. I'm an ESL, and profanity is a normal part of my vocabulary. But seriously, try actually replying to me and what I said instead of the language I use cos that ain't what we're here for.

Oh yeah! We totally have nothing between our ears, and yet you can't answer a simple question and instead make an assclown of yourself by pretending to use words when you haven't got a clue in hell what they mean.
