Like i said ya walk with darkness its written they turn Righteousness in to wormwoodWe are told to obey the Law of the Land if that doesnt conflict with the teachings and commandments of Christ, Acts 5:29, when Christ says to "Feed the Hungry and that when we do we feed him", there are no rules, no conditions, no exceptions, just love and compassion, Matthew 25: 35, and just wher5e did Christ say we are not to be a burden?, did the good samariatn say to the man in need, "You are not to be a burden?, No he saw the suffering and the need and responded with Love and compassion, "Love your Neighbour as yourself" and "Treat others as you'd want to be treated are the bedrock of our faith and to do otherwise is to build your life on the shifting sands of Human Values and not the solid rock of Christs teachings, and just where does Christ say "our own house is taken care of first", in fact in Matthew 5 40-48 Christ says " And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.", Our Love and compassion must encompass ALL equally and there is no room for prejudice based on nation

They are not "illegals", they are men, women, children and Babies made in the image of God and deserving of the same Justice, Love and compassion we would give to any other human being. There is no room for prejudice and discrimination in being a follower of Christ, and even if you look on them as "illegals", as some form of enemy, then Christs words in Matthew 5:43-44 should resonate with you " You have heard it said, You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But i say, love your enemies, bless them that curse you do good to them that hate youand pray for those that spitefully use you"
They are ALL people in need, and should be deserving of our Love and compassion whether they be, Veterans, Elderly or "Strangers", why do you seek to divide when Christs call to Love and compassion is all encompassing, there should be no distinction into catagories for we are ALL abject sinners and ALL in need of Gods Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness
I have taken in no Strangers" and probably never would, but i give money to organisations working with refugees and the homeless and campaign for their rights as people deserving of my love and Compassion. But my sin in not responding to Christs call to "Welcome the Stranger" does not negate that call, it just shows what a wretched sinner i am in dire need of his Mercy and forgiveness.
And why the emphasis on leaving them alone with your "lil children and elderly", is there a darker reasoning here?.
Yes thats very true, and as Christ said in Matthew 7 20, "wherefore by their fruits you shall know them", and i think you have to reflect just what "fruits" you are showing.
No the living God is not about "Law n Order", where that "Law n Order" is founded on an evil and corrupt system controlled by the Devil. Christ condemned the rich and powerful, those that administered the law and kept "order", he commended the poor who were oppressed by that "Law n order", he spoke of "not bringing Peace but a sword" that would turn one against another and he was crucified by the very same system of "Law n Order" you extoll. No christ turned the "law n Order" of this Evil world on its head, "the first will be last and the last will be first", blessed are the meek, the peacemakers, those that seek the righteousness of God and are persecuted for it, your blind adherence to "law n order" blinds you to the fact that in so doing you are supporting a system underpinned by the Prince of Chaos and darkness himself.
Where does Christ say anything about making our Love and compassion determinant on the actions of others, for if that was the case then we would help no one, for we are ALL miserable wretches in the sight of God, these "illegals" as you call them are people, Good, Bad and indifferent, like the rest of us, ALL groups and classes of people, ALL nationalities and races commit horrendous acts of violence and evil on others, but we are called on to "Love our Neighbour, even if we perceive them as enemies, to treat others as we'd want to be treated and to recognise that we are ALL in need of Gods grace and forgiveness.
We are indeed ALL Evil

You sit comfortably with the darkness yet ya are deceived that it is the Light ya are with..
Seei the Lord while He can still be found stip turning to the crowd n take counsel with the Lord..
One either walks with tye Light or they dance with the devil n you dance with the devil there is no grey area..
