A Warped Take on Illegal Immigration
I received this email today.
Quote:
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately; illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida
Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.
+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

How horrible and mean-spirited is this?

Politics can definitely get in the way of Christianity.

I don't find it horrible or mean spirited.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?

Re: A Warped Take on Illegal Immigration
Why is protecting our borders mean spirited?

If it would be an effective deterrent I would be for it, realistically it isn't. I understand the sentiment though. I do believe we should secure our borders, I don't believe we need illegals for our economy, we can allow people to come in and work under the existing laws without allowing folks to illegally come into our country.
Arizona has done the best thing you can to stop illegal immigration, fine those who hire them enough that it isn't worth hiring them.
