BUDAPEST, Hungary, May
1, Biblical
Family Advocates has been observing the illegal
immigration movement that is bent on coming to
America
illegally without regard for the laws of
America.
They are asserting that "no
human is illegal."
But Biblical Family Advocates is concerned with
this line of reasoning. Many well intentioned
people seem to have forgotten to teach their
children to obey the laws of
the land as well
as submitting to the governing authorities.
"It seems apparent to me that the children of
illegal immigrants are being taught to do the
very thing the Bible condemns. They are being
taught to covet their neighbor's goods and that
stealing is justified if it benefits you. How
will they teach their children to obey the laws
of any nation when they justify lawlessness as a
lifestyle? To take jobs, government funds and
services from legal Americans is a form of
stealing." says Phil Magnan of Biblical Family
Advocates. "They are taking from others what
they do not own. This does not love your
neighbor nor doing unto others as you would have
done unto you."
"Remarkably, if I were to break any laws of
America
or any country for that matter, I would expect
to be punished and yet the illegal immigrant
movement seems to have forgotten that point.
They want to be a special class of people that
can steal, covet and enjoy the fruits of
America
all in the name of self entitlement. But the
worst thing about all of this is that the
children are being taught that stealing and
coveting are justifiable. And yet Jesus Christ
Himself hated lawlessness. Their actions
contradict the words of Romans 13 that says that
we are to "submit to the governing authorities".
They are not obeying the governing laws of
America.
There is no question that the people of
Mexico
and other countries need compassion and help,
but they should not try to justify their
unlawful actions because their own government
has failed them."
Biblical Family Advocates, BFA, encourages all
illegal immigrants of good conscience to
reconsider the lessons they are teaching their
children. But BFA also encourages the continued
international work of Christians to
compassionately ease the burden of foreign
people's worldwide. It is the hope of BFA that
these people will one day experience greater
prosperity as they call their own governments
into account and call their own people to godly
repentance. For without Christ, no people will
truly be prosperous.
