Reply to "Is It Unchristian To Support Strict Immigration Laws?"

This is "slightly" off subject of the original post but brings to mind the night before last while watching O'Reilly on FNC the host said "what would Jesus do about illegal immigration?". As soon as I heard this the thought came to mind that I doubt Mary and Joseph stopped to get a visa when the escaped to Egypt to protect Jesus from Herod.
Additionally I have to wonder if when his disciples traveled to other parts of the world to preach if they went through any legal channels to do so or if the sorta snuck in? I would not drag Jesus into this argument because I think it’s obvious who’s side he would be on.

People that keep saying that the illegals need to go back and go through the correct legal channels to come here are very ignorant of what those legal channels are. Let’s suppose a young couple in Mexico wants to come here for just a visit, when they apply for a visa to come over they have to show that they own property, that they have a permanent job with about two years work history, they must have money in a bank account, a major credit card, etc… anyway so much for your tired, your poor, and your huddled masses. If you want to come here you gotta have money. If you make two bucks an hour it is hopeless to have any of the requirements to come here even to visit much less to live here.
With that said I do agree that our borders need to be protected and secure, mostly because of terrorism and the drug traffic but also to make sure people are not crossing illegally. At the same time we need to “lighten up” on the rules for visiting our country and for working here, of course we want to do all we can to insure the people coming here to visit are morally decent folks but I do not think someone’s wealth is any indicator of their character.
Just in case any of what I said makes me sound like a liberal then think again, on most issues I would be a little to the right of Reagan but I cannot stomach the republican party stance on immigration.
