Does God approve of deporting illegal aliens?
At least fifteen hundred American troops have been deployed to the U.S. border in San Diego County. Their goal is to capture and deport one hundred thousand illegals.
This is worth supporting, because Creator God supports it. Now liberals like to say, “Welcome the stranger,” and take Scripture out of context. But it’s clear from word definitions that the Bible recognizes only two types of foreigners: permitted guests and invaders.
To hold otherwise is against history, against evidence, and against the Word of God. Because there’s archeological evidence that ancient Israel and Egypt both enforced borders and required permits of resident aliens.
As Bible Hub explains: An ancient boundary stone, often referred to in biblical texts, is a physical marker used to delineate property lines and territorial borders. These stones were crucial in maintaining order and justice within the agrarian societies of the ancient Near East, including Israel. They served as a testament to the rightful ownership and inheritance of land, which was a significant aspect of God’s covenant with His people.
“Who Is The Stranger?” is an excellent article by former Arizona state senator Karen Johnson. It explains how illegal aliens are against the Bible’s commands about foreigners — because all foreigners needed permission.
What’s more, consider these Bible verses commanding everyone to honor boundary stones:
“You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which the men of old have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.” (Deuteronomy 19:14)
“‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!'” (Deuteronomy 27:17)
“Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them;”
(Job 24:2)
Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set. (Proverbs 22:28)
“Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;” (Proverbs 23:10)
“The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out My wrath on them like water.” (Hosea 5:10)
And it wasn’t just ancient Israel, with the Old Testament. Non-Jewish nations also had strict boundaries:
In the Roman Empire, including this Rome city boundary marker
So, if you’re a person of faith, you should oppose illegal immigration. But if you’re not, you have many more reasons to oppose the invasion of illegals. For they increase crime and the cost of living, and steal American culture and language away.
“Why are we helping the entire Third World? We have a limit to that.
There’s a limit to everything. And so you have to establish limits to this situation as well.”
