I know your intentions mean well and absolutely no one is disputing Scripture or our moral obligation, but I find these kinds of posts do not touch upon the bigger picture. Social justice encompasses a very broad area

There is another thread here for anyone interested which speaks of a more complex understanding of this issue:

Read the thread. Thanks

I don’t know. Christ promises in helping those in need—Heaven! and be seated to the right of the KING! I think helping the poor iimmigrant and helpless is a safe bet!

34 "Then the **King **will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, **inherit the kingdom **prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 ‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 "The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, **you did it to Me.’ **

What is bad is that they are being LIED TO by someone saying the US will not deport these children. The parents are not making an informed decision and may lose their kids entirely to the system and maybe to coyotes so I pray they stay home and do what they can until it changes.🙂 I do pray that their lives (name removed by moderator)rove where they are, until it becomes safe to come across the border legally and safely. I know that may not be popular but the parents don’t know the truth and are being lied to by evil coyotes.

Its so unfortunate but true, somebody from here is going back to our countries and telig them that theirs a possible amnesty in the way. I hope things can be fixed .
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
 
And…this is the thread that shone light on the “reasoned discourse” on these forums.

Take a look at US policy in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Look up “School of the Americas” on Wikipedia and see what our government has done. Look up what corporations did in Latin America and who is benefiting from NAFTA.

You GOP “Catholics” on here are more interested in hearing Lou Dobs talk about “invasion” than Pope Francis about being your brothers keeper.

I’m very glad I discovered this thread and will no longer waste my time on these forums. Here, go read more about the “invasion” drudgereport.com

(funny how your ancestors were called the same thing in the 1800’s and 1900’s)
 
The bigoted cries of an invasion by scary, “dirty” people have been heard before. Waves of Irish immigration were met with claims that they were going to destroy America, and that they were too poor, too dirty.

As mentioned earlier-we have the opportunity to assist the man lying on the side of the road wounded. Will America bind up their wounds like the Good Samaritan, or keep riding by?

Feel free to set the example yourself, put your money where your mouth is, and start accepting illegal aliens into your home and supporting them with your money. Do not use government force to compel to me to support your ideology. That is the moral equivalent of robbery.
