Douglas Bruce comments on immigrants.

There's already a thread on this HERE. Bruce is an embarrassment to the state of Colorado. He is the same idiot who kicked a news photographer, along with other outrageous behavior.

 

I want to talk about "principles" here, so please do not read this as endorsement of illegal immigrants.

1. Our true citizenship is in the covenant family of God, which knows no national boundaries. We are Americans, Canadians, French, etc. a distant, distant second.

2. Our Scriptural obligations require us to share what prosperity we have been blessed with. So, we should never view our national wealth and privileged lifestyle as something that we try to keep to ourselves. We must share - there is simply no choice for the obedient Christian.

3. Now there are many ways to do this - the best solution is not necessarily to "open the floodgates" and let people immigrate to wealthy countries like the US and Canada, without limit. But certainly, this is part of the way we obey the Gospel imperative to care for the least of these - by granting entry to people whose lives will be made better by coming to our countries, even if this means higher taxes for we "natives" (as if any of us really do have a claim on the land upon which live).

4. With respect to the matter of treason - and I am not criticising The Scribe here - we need to be primarily concerned with treason to our true "nation" - the covenant people of God, redeemed at a terrible price, and commissioned to enact God's restorative justice to our world. Sorry if that sounds like a sermon.

 

And there is a process for those entering this country to go through. By passing that makes them criminals who do not respect our laws. They should be rejected.
