The Bible is clear regarding the way immigrants are to be treated: "The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt" (Leviticus 19:34). Moses was an illegal immigrant whose Egyptian education equipped him to change the world.

There may be legal or political reasons for rejecting the DREAM Act. But it's hard to imagine that Jesus would refuse children an opportunity to achieve their highest potential. He blessed them and taught us that "the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matthew 19:14).

This is good news.

We need religion on our side, especially if most of the conservatives really practice their faith.

Most republicans are Christians and they use bible verses to conveniently do what they want such as Christine O'Donnell's Anti-Masturbation Campaign and keep African-Americans enslaved with bible verses. However, when you show them contrary perspective on bible verses that deviates from their beneficiary, they stubbornly refuse to accept it and use only their on translation that would benefit themselvse. Cunning, hypocritical sons of bitches

Well I'm counting on that people will use the children sympathy as well as other bible related stories to at least try to convince one person out there.

Yea well, the people may be realigious but the politicians could give two fucks about any faith. Republicans only use religion to gain a voter base, none of them are actually religious.

Besides if it was really up to the American people the DA would pass unannimously.

you can't use the bible to straighten up racists. I'm pretty sure abolitionists tried.
