Well, PeterS, either you are being like St. Peter talking with Christ or you just got drunk on the Koolaide of the far left.
By the comments I read on this thread, it seems that you didn't read the Bible for understanding but rather picked out something to troll about.
But if you want some wisdom about the situation you bring up, here goes:
A human being is a human being. And all human beings belong to the great family of humanity. Now that's as simple as it gets, now when a person enters into a country against the authority of that country, and they do it in a chaotic fashion, breaking that country's laws of order, then we call that person illegal, because instead of following the proper order, that was passed by Congress, and agreed to by the people of that country, about the orderly fashion of entry, that person then insults and defies the laws of the host country(this country).
Try to do that in Russia, Ukraine, Iran or China, and you would probably be k**led on site, especially if they find out you are an American citizen.
Now, if the immigrant does it by the proper channels then, all is good and they may stay.
But then if millions are invading the southwest, the only fair solution is to keep them out, while processing them. Stay in Mexico, policy for example. Once the government approved the immigrant they are welcomed.
None of what I said herein is against Christianity or the natural law. The entrance and survival of any community must be done orderly.
Since stay in Mexico, was undermined, and if you are in California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas, where do you put the overflow?
Ron Desantis tried to send them to Martha's Vineyard, and they, with in 24 hours, deported 50 i*****l i*******ts. So if it works for that community, it should in theory work for all communities, that is if we abide by biblical teaching.
This little op-ed destroys the premise of your analogy. Since the constitution was based on biblical teaching but is not biblical, then the constitution contains mistakes where the bible and the teachings of Christ do not.
Therefore the response from Christ probably would be to admonish the hypothetical analogy because the analogy is a sin against thy neighbor.
Look at it this way, consider your house as a country. Would you allow uninvited guests and strangers into your home, with your children and wife and rest of your family present? Not knowing the character of the uninvited guest or stranger? Wouldn't you at least vet such a guest? For the safety of your family?
Same applies to the immigrant.
