Leviticus 19:33-37
33 "'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the Lord your God. 35 "'Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. 36 Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt. 37 "'Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.'"
I thought Jerry might want to chew on it for a bit. I heard you talking this morning also. Give me your thoughts on this also:
As it relates to distribution of wealth and the like you were saying something along the lines of the person who comes up with an idea rightly gets the benefits of the creation of that idea. Sorry if I am improperly paraphrasing it but consider this. If my son suggests that we have Chicken for dinner should he get the largest portions because it was his idea or do I get the larger portion because I have to buy it and cook it (labor). Or do I distribute each according to his need?
And finally, as it relates to Danni's question about the family of Man, you might want to re-look at the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10: 25-37.
Sorry to get all biblical but I think we all need a little (actually a lot) more of it.

Did the bible say anything about the alien coming and taking your sheep, your fish, your gold?
The problem is, there is no place where the bible actually addresses socialism in government.
The Issue that I have with immigrants isn't even a direct problem with them, it's that the government have mandated certain social laws.
Such as hospitals being forced to treat anyone with an emergency, so now we all have to get on Hillary care to keep prices down and forced to medicate our kids and vaccinate them with mercury laced drugs.
Its not the Aliens, its NAFTA, our govt, and corporations.
But until we can fix our govt and its regulations, we need to seriously take a look at Immigration as a serious threat.
I mean all the people ranting about African Americans and the Subprime crisis....I wonder how many Mexican or South Americans lived in subprime housing?
Just a thought

Here is some interesting reading on latino/black borrowers and subprimes.
One can not be both pro-illegal alien and pro-poor American. Pick a side. You know you have a weak argument when you must point to the bible...which doesn't happen to be the law of the land.

What little faith MTJ has in capitalism. Now do you believe me that MTJ is just a mere socialist, Jerry?
