That's for standard immigration visa applications, not illegal entrants.

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.


Respect!
I posted numerous Biblical verses days ago on this thread. They are easy to find and understand. If you aren't afraid of being proven wrong, of course.

Instead of spending billions of dollars for a useless wall, we should use the money to help build affordable housing not only for struggling Americans (which I agree, there are too many), but for the non-criminal, undocumented immigrants who want to stay and work here. It’s great for the economy people, wake up!

Children whose parents have been arrested and sent to jail and are now in foster care? Our own systems are broken, and yet, your church chooses to help others break the laws, rather than help our own.
My church helps the homeless. That would include Americans. My church helps the poor. That would include Americans.

Our school districts provide free breakfast and lunch for all students regardless of income.

Many children whose parents are in jail are in the care of family members.

Please know from which you speak before attempting another reply. Thank you.

No but you ARE complaining that there are Americans who need help first. Just wondering what YOU are doing for THEM.

I am not a Dem but, I certainly know whose fault this is. Trump administration devised all of this without any plan to fire up his base and blames it on the Dems. The GOP has full control so how the heck you can believe its the fault of dems is almost delusional. Using people as pawns belongs solely to Trump.
Face it friend, your president doesn't like black or brown people.
If constitutional rights to due process are removed it can and will eventually effect anyone who the leaders feel it should. It is going down a very slippery slope.
President Trump has accomplished getting Americans to begin to hate one another. I find that deplorable.

ORGANIZED. INVASION.

The Founders weren't dumb. When they chose to write "person" in parts of the constitution and "citizen" in others, they probably thought they were making their point pretty damn clear. Optimistic bunch.

Build affordable housing. With whose money? At whose expense? Do we bother asking people if they want to "build affordable housing" for ILLEGAL, NOT UNDOCUMENTED, ILLEGAL, ALIENS, NOT IMMIGRANTS, ALIENS. Do we ask them, or do we just steal their money and "build affordable housing"?
