Treating Immigrants Like Jesus

Good read.

It takes a lot of money to support the illegals. And frankly, with a debt of $18.6 trillion, it's not our money to give.

I cannot think of the last time I saw a hispanic beggar on the side of the road.

I don't believe the article even referenced undocumented immigrants. I also believe this is not about government policy, but our role as the church.

A lot of the immigrants I hire to do my yard work are named Jesus.

Nope. But one in Houston is the original Spider-Man

I'm all for better border enforcement, but don't you think crucifixion is going a bit far?

If you're referring to costs for things like drug enforcement, etc, due to border problems you would have a point. However, a huge percentage of illegal immigrants are paying taxes without any ability to draw from the system. I'm not sure they're causing much of a debt increase overall.

They're driving down wages, which is why the oligarchy wants them here. Same reason we outsource our jobs.

As for Sweden, they're committing cultural suicide. Very sad to watch.

Not exactly related to the OP, but what I saw in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea was something I'll never forget; gaunt faces of people who are truly willing to do anything to prolong the lives of their families, but are completely destitute and unable to alter their situation due to circumstances well beyond their control such as a government dictatorship and military with rifles. When you see true poverty; poverty literally leading to starvation unto death, it makes it hard to be sympathetic to people in this country claiming to be "in need".

I've seen similar things and it made me more sympathetic to everyone in poverty. More trinkets for the poor are nice, but the desperation and depression seem pretty damn universal.
