Same argument used against MLK when he was arrested for breaking laws in Alabama and Mississippi.

No.

Let us see if this will post...

Did you know the border crisis is not organic? Behind it are official policies, heavy financing, and agreements between the US government and the United Nations. See Epoch Original Documentary “#WeaponsofMassMigration” premiering on May 9.👉 https://t.co/NKGABS28pL

"We further strongly urge our own Negro community to withdraw support from these demonstrations, and to unite locally in working peacefully for a better Birmingham. When rights are consistently denied, a cause should be pressed in the courts and in negotiations among local leaders, and not in the streets. We appeal to both our white and Negro citizenry to observe the principles of law and order and common sense."

I think it does. Thankfully MLK saw it differently and this appeal led to his Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Oh, you think if libs do it that taking over streets and blocking commerce should be okay?
But if cons do it, that's insurrection?

Look, everyone has the right to protest peacefully.
No one has the right to occupy other people's property
or cross other people's borders without permission.

I think this is a forest from the trees kind of thing. Let me explain.

MLK wrote back to those religious leaders and pointed out that there is man's law and God's law. Citing St. Augustine, "an unjust law is no law at all."

He goes on to ask how can we tell an unjust law from a just law? MLK points to St. Thomas Aquinas, when he notes that an unjust law is not rooted in the eternal law and natural law. MLK points out, rightly in my opinion, that any law that uplifts the "human personality" is just. So then the opposite would be true that any law that oppresses man is unjust.

Back then to the border.

Is it any wonder then that Jesus, Joseph, and Mary fled the country and into Egypt, without notifying authorities who we can assume were on the look out? Indeed, the Holy Family were refugees not unlike the many people fleeing Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, and Hati- among others. They were foreigners in a foreign land, seeking refuge.

What I hear on this and other forums is that we should shut down the border and deport anyone here illegally. I believe that is not the will of God. We should double our efforts to document as many people as reasonably possible safely and work hand in hand with the many charitable organizations that seek to feed, clothe, and house people seeking asylum.

This country was founded by immigrants all the way back to the pilgrims who fled to these shores seeking a new way of life. I still believe our country is a blessed country and is a lamp to the nations. (patriotic music in the background). Let freedom ring!

What is sad is that there are people who actually believe half of what you have written. Thankfully, there are others who, through the words Christ, understand the words, "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

That is a biblical quote, so what do you think it has to do with illegal immigration?

What is sad about it? Well over half of what was written is true...
