I double posted, to make sure you understand...
So the ones torn away from their parents, crying out mama or papa are just character actors, I suppose?

Tamajane, I swear, can you believe it?

They could care less about our country and only wish to exploit it.
Thanks for the reminder about all of those who immigrated to this country to take advantage of all it has to offer who now want to pull the ladder up behind them.

I was wondering how many people here as Christians support this policy?

They used the bible to support uphold and following the law. While I don't agree with them using the bible or religion to justify their stance please don't twist it.


I support this policy.

Sorry, who is twisting anything?

Its very simple. Are the laws being followed or are they not? You don't get to say rules don't apply just because of your feels. I would prefer the laws were changed so the whole family was deported. Come here legally or don't come at all. It is really pretty simple.

I am a Christian and I see nothing Christian in this policy (nor many others that this administration is implementing).

They are a net DRAIN, costing us $113 BILLION dollars a year.
I've shown proof you are wrong, including a report from the Bush Institute, which uses data from the USA government itself. Now, you made your assertion about the cost, please provide the back up.

True, they only want these open borders to get cheap labor. Americans are being deprived of workers to exploit when immigration laws are enforced.
