They are not victims. They are criminals.

I’m often asked why I am against illegal immigration. When I explain that it is illegal, and what other countries do about it, I get a lot of pushback. I’ve tried relating it to the home. I say, “Imagine you are at home with your family about to have dinner, and a stranger walks up your drive, opens your door, takes a shower, eats your food, plops down in your recliner, and starts ruling the TV remote watching whatever they like, without saying a word to you. How would you respond to that?” Now, some people lie, and say they would be fine with it. I know it is a lie. They know it is a lie, but at least they heard the argument. Others would concede that it was wrong, but won’t allow for this simplified argument claiming that it is incongruent. A few will admit illegal immigration is wrong, but have parents who have illegally immigrated, and their emotional immaturity is overpowering their intellect, and they won’t be moved from their position. White liberal women are the most unreasonable creatures to deal with on this topic. They become enraged, and act like mad animals. Isn’t it amazing that there are still people out there who deny the doctrine of Total Depravity?

There are some bleeding hearts self-professed Christians out there who will accuse me of not being hospitable to sojourners. I think it is simple enough to debunk that accusation. Those who sojourned with Israel in the Old Testament were expected to follow their laws, and accept their culture. It was not the other way around. Hospitality was extended to short term, temporary interactions with a traveler. In modern times, that would look like us giving them some water, and food, at the border before sending them back to do it legally. It isn’t modeled by us opening the floodgates, and letting every person in to loot, and pillage our nation. We have a way to become a legal resident. People can apply for a green card, and a visa. They don’t have to come here illegally as raiders. I don’t care what their supposed intentions are. See the first argument. Anyway, that is my two cents. If you don’t like it, read someone else’s blog for crying out loud.
