Moi? An illegal immigrant? Drat, damn! Ya caught me. Ahora que me tienes, ¿qué piensas hacer al respecto? Tu eres un tonto ignorante e intolerante. Pendejos como tú le dan mala fama a los imbéciles.

It seems I was wrong about Rumitoid. YOU are the poster child for invincible ignorance.


I am invincible but the ignorant part is all on you and your leftist side, Sister Pokey.

Hey, everyone! Let's take a poll! How many of you think that Loki is a leftist? Can we have some weigh in here, so Sister Spare Change will stop his puerile bickering. Don't be bashful, tell the Doc what you think. After all, he IS a doctor. Of something.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a United Methodist, and he is also the face of the Trump administration's widely condemned policy of separating migrant children from their families at the border. In a Friday statement slamming the policy as "a shocking violation of the spirit of the Gospel," the United Methodist Church registered its dissent to Sessions' use of the Bible to defend the separations:

Jesus is our way, our truth, our life. The Christ we follow would have no part in ripping children from their mothers' arms or shunning those fleeing violence. It is unimaginable that faith leaders even have to say that these policies are antithetical to the teachings of Christ.

Christian sacred texts should never be used to justify policies that oppress or harm children and families. [United Methodist Church]

The statement explicitly called out Sessions as a "fellow United Methodist," asking him to reverse the decision to split up families. It noted that the close context of the passage Sessions cited, Romans 13, includes instructions for Christians to "extend hospitality to strangers" and to do "no wrong to a neighbor."

Nearly 2,000 children were separated from their families in April and May alone; some of these families crossed the border illegally, while others are legal asylum-seekers. Read the full United Methodist statement here. Bonnie Kristian

=================
Nobody is above the law. Only God is. And God requires us to obey the law, for the leaders who implement the laws are also under God.

Question: "Do Christians have to obey the laws of the land?"
Romans 13:1-7 states, “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.

First Photos from Inside Facilities for Illegal Immigrant Children Shatter Establishment Media Narrative
https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/author/chris-golden/?ff_source=push&ff_medium=conservativetribune&ff_campaign=manualpost&ff_content=2018-06-19
You’ve all seen the fake pictures of how children separated from their parents are detained in America — you know, locked in cages and treated like dogs at a shelter.
Of course, those pictures are mostly from the Obama era during the migrant crisis or are faked, but shhh. Don’t let facts get in the way of a good tweet (or rant in the press room).
So, how are children treated when they’re removed from their parents? Well, reporters found out, courtesy of a tour of one of the facilities in which they’re housed, the Southwest Key Programs residential center in El Cajon, California, which operates under contract with the Department of Health and Human Services.
According to Breitbart, whose reporters were allowed on a tour of the facility Friday along with other media, El Cajon is decidedly “not a ‘cage.’ It is a comfortable facility providing lodging, meals, clothing, medical care, education, recreation, counseling, and other services.”
“The facility is located on a main street in a quiet, suburban neighborhood. It has 65 beds, occupied by boys ages 6 to 17. The rooms are spare, with three to four beds in each; the boys are responsible for cleaning the rooms and making their own beds. There is an outdoor recreation area with picnic tables and a small soccer pitch.”

The facility’s goal is for the child to leave with a legal guardian. According to Breitbart, most of the children at the facility arrived at the border without adults, while only 10 percent were separated from adults who were arrested when they illegally crossed the border.
Here’s video of the facility. (Note: Audio doesn’t come in until near the end):

And here are some photos. Like the video, they were provided by the HHS.
It’s all maybe a bit dorm-room spartan, but it’s certainly not cages or anything approximating jail.
Southwest Key didn’t allow journalists to take any photographs or videos of the programs or the care the children receive. However, according to Breitbart, the children are given new clothing and shoes, lessons on hygiene and how to operate conveniences they may not have encountered previously, like toilets and a shower.

“They have limited access to telephones to call relatives, both in the U.S. and abroad. They receive therapy, both as individuals and in group sessions,” Breitbart noted. “They enjoy field trips to local museums, parks, and the zoo, where they can explore the city beyond the shelter. And they also have social activities, including a recent ‘prom’ for which they dressed up.”
Yet, these are the children that one MSNBC reporter referred to as “incarcerated.” As Breitbart’s Joel B. Pollak pointed out, this “is only true in the same sense that hospital patients, too, are not permitted to leave, for their safety.”
Naturally, not all child detention facilities are going to measure up to the Southwest Key standard aesthetically — there’s a reason the media was brought there, after all. And Democrat lawmakers are having a fine time attracting news cameras to their attempts to visit other child detention facilities. (They’re not as nice as the Southwest Key building, but they’re not the concentration camps liberals are trying to portray them as.)
As Customs and Border Patrol Acting Deputy Commissioner Rob Vitiello told CSN, the mainstream media aren’t giving the full story.
“They have PlayStations. Pool tables. It’s far from a concentration camp and people should be more accurate when they describe what we are trying to accomplish there,” he said.
“They are very well-appointed,”
Overall, it’s important to remember who is fundamentally responsible for these children’s plight. These are children who either crossed the border alone or were brought along while their parents committed a federal crime. In that case, they were suborned into breaking the law by their mother and/or father, likely after a dangerous passage to the border that may have involved human trafficking.
This is a grievous crime, and we don’t seem to have any problem with separating American children from their parent or parents when they’ve committed crimes. Why, exactly, is illegal immigration any different?
Regardless of whether you’re comfortable with this practice, these are not children being held in cages.
The government isn’t acting like Nazis, as MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough claimed. These pictures show a far different reality than has been presented to us thus far — and one that likely won’t get a lot of play on MSNBC in the coming days.
