What's to Be Gained

Yet another raid: on the plant that manufactures parachutes for the military in Asheville, North Carolina. Over 50 immigrants captured and detained for deportation, for many it will tear families apart, separate husbands from wives and children. When will this country ever address the immigration crisis by doing a root-cause analysis of the cause and direct efforts toward measures to discourage immigrants from illegal entry in order to support their families? There are so many ways to accomplish just that.

If any reader of this blog is so inclined, he/she might wish to read Leviticus (19:33-34), "When strangers sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do them wrong. The strangers who sojourn with you shall be to you as the natives among you, and you shall love them as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt."

Are we a God-loving country of immigrants, built on the above premise? If we profess that we are, then we must cease this inhumane, shameful, cruel treatment of immigrants and pursue avenues other than the current enforcement measures to resolve this national disaster.
