This is surely God's doing because our family is going through a crisis from our church leaders because we are teaching the illegal Mianmar people who are entering to our country everyday the Bible and inviting them to attend our worship services and Bible tudies. The leaders tell us to stop bringing them to Church because of the fear of the authorities of the our Malaysian government. Your article is very useful for me to show them. Thank you very much.

Like honestly, i think there should be a way for a website to help you create a personalized pack of different software that will make your life as a whole more simplified.

There are laws in place that would have taken care of most of the problem for both the illegal immigrants and our country, had they just been enforced from the begining. Now the parents children are being used as pawns. I can't imagine going to an unknown country, starting my life over and expecting my children to do the communicating for me. Are we not supposed to be there for our childrent not the other way around. I see the children being used in so many ways, it saddens me. I am defanitely struggling with this one.

I agree totally with Bonnie Crogan Mazur, and add that we cannot possibly learn all the different languages of the immigrants, legal or illegal. Only Spanish is being pushed on us; we had only Spanish translation in our classrooms. Africans, students who spoke Urdu, Indians, Romanians, Vietnamese, and those from Iran were not given the same consideration, although I tried my best to teach them. The mugged foreigner did not rise up and say you owe me this care...I deserve it....give it to me, and I'll take your job too. The key words here are "undocumented equals illegal". A thief... a trespasser ... definitely forgiven over and over again, but must go and sin no more to his/her homeland to truly follow Christ's command. “Go and sin no more” does not suggest “stay / enjoy the reward of amnesty” by any stretch of biblical interpretation.

I agree, it is often easy to get caught in the cloud of politics versus understanding what God is doing and aligning ourselves with Him. I've personally seen great strides here in the Deep South with another ethnic issue: the deep divide and mistrust between blacks and whites. We are seeing precedent-breaking racial reconciliation and relationship-building between black and white communities (something that is still very new to many communities in the South). I believe the black/white divide is a dress rehearsal in preparation for the immigration issues that we will be dealing with over the next few decades. God Bless, Andy To Rob (and Bonnie),
