So... all you Old testament Jews who hate foreigners straighten up and don't forget how the egyptians treated you...

...oh, wait that's right all the OT jews are dead, so what does the law say pertaining to ILLEGAL Immigrants and Christianity???

Not immigrants as we are still supposedto treat them as we would any brother or lost brother.. but Illegal immigrants are subject to the laws of the country we live in. God gives no special dispensation for those who break the law and sneak ito other countries.

Submission to the Authorities
13 Let every person pbe subject to the governing authorities. For qthere is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you rwill receive his approval, for she is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, tan avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also ufor the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

They want to be treated like equals... get in f-ing line like everyone ELSE had too!!! So say 1st generation born american. We make no qualms kicking out own family out when they stay too long. they want to come over then let them go through the correct process.

That passage simply acknowledges that we, as humans, need authority in our lives, lest we dive into a chaotic society. Of course this would be by Gods design.

This does NOT mean we are required to agree with every decision our president makes, nor does it mean that we should condone the current treatment of the people crossing the border who are seeking asylum.
