The pro-amnesty swamp creatures are scrambling.
After Donald Trump eliminated Barack Obama’s DACA amnesty scheme,
establishment members of Congress, business leaders, celebrities, and
the amnesty lobby all turned up the heat to press the administration to
back down.
But one Senator got caught lying about the Bible in his hopes to advance open borders.
Florida’s Marco Rubio was one of the ring leaders of the 2013 Gang of Eight amnesty scheme.
A massive grassroots uprising tanked the bill and was an early sign his Presidential ambitions were doomed.
But he hasn’t given up on the idea of granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
When Trump planned to rollout his decision rescinding Obama’s illegal
DACA amnesty, Rubio took to social media to jab the President and
criticized the decision as un-Christian.
He cited a verse from the Book of Matthew to claim the Bible supports open borders.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me”; Matthew 25:35
But this is a false – and selective – reading of Scripture.
A group of Evangelical leaders wrote in a letter to Congress that the
Bible does not call for open borders, but rather “wise welcome” and
that God “condemns the destruction of borders and indigenous cultures.”
Conservative Review reports:
“Eighteen prominent evangelical leaders from various Christian
and political organizations signed the letter, including CRTV host and
Conservative Review contributor Steve Deace.
“We agree that immigration reform and DACA are difficult
subjects,” the letter states. “God loves the foreigner. Indeed, God
loves us all. It takes time to discern the balance of mercy and justice
by which a nation thrives.”
The signing evangelicals took a strong stand against open borders
and blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants, urging elected officials to
remember their responsibility to “defend and uphold the Constitution
and the rule of law.” “Though there are tragic stories on every side of
illegal migration, for our elected officials, responsibility to oaths
must prevail,” they write. “Law and order sustain stability and peace. A
nation of wise rule grows strong enough to sustain care for the
vulnerable in our midst.”
The letter charged pro-amnesty faith groups with using
“selective” interpretations of scripture to support their position,
ignoring parts of the Bible that support national sovereignty.
“While some faith groups use selective Bible words for open
borders and amnesty, we consider the whole counsel of Scripture. We find
that the Bible does not teach open borders, but wise welcome. We are to
welcome the lawful foreigner, who, like a convert, comes as a blessing
(e.g. Ruth and Rahab). We also find Nehemiah building walls to protect
citizens from harm. In Isaiah 1, we see God condemning the destruction
of borders and indigenous culture,” the letter states.
In conclusion, the EBI letter petitions President Trump, “while
treating undocumented people kindly,” to “first and foremost honor often
forgotten American citizens whose families have served our nation for
many generations, and the patient people who have applied lawfully to
come here and to become citizens of the United States. These lives also
matter. These people also dream.”
Pro-amnesty advocates have told many lies over the years.
They falsely claim that illegal immigration has little to no impact on crime or wages.
But now Marco Rubio stooped to a new level by trying to assert that the Bible calls for open borders.
