Is it immoral (offensive to God) to limited immigration?

[Patrick1966]

What does God say about immigrants?

“When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Lev. 19:33-34).

Exodus 22:21 ESV
“You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

Numbers 15:15-16 ESV
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. You and the sojourner shall be alike before the Lord. One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”

Of course, Heaven and God's kingdom-to-come have entry requirements.

Is Israel justified to limit who can emigrate there? Are Israel's Jews obligated to become a minority in the only Jewish nation in the world?

As an American and as a Christian I believe that the U.S. SHOULD welcome ALL who want to come on one condition; that they pledge their agreement that they will respect and abide by the U.S. Constitution rather than, for example, Sharia law or some other belief system.

As a Christian, what are your thoughts, please?

All illegals represent pure poverty coming for nothing other than a hand out. The nation and budget can't handle that. They all need to be sent home. We have problems enough with our poor without trying to become a haven bent on the destruction of this country. Frankly, if the liberals can't handle that thought .....go with them, then beg to come back home when they see first hand what poor actually is...

If Jesus was here in the U.S., do you believe that he would tell illegal immigrants to leave?

Jesus would tell you, as well as, anyone on this page ....

"Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars."

He never told you to not pay taxes. Never told anyone to violate Goverment laws ....

I would assume you believe yourself to be far smarter than that.

I also believe that and American law has set up a way to allow immigrants to enter America-LEGALLY. If the first act a person does in america is to enter illegally- that is wrong.
