Biblical Morality And Migrants

 ... it's all about welcoming the less fortunate and helping the downtrodden, right?

Let's say you threw a party for about 50 people at your house. Let's also say that you're a big shot with the Stasi or maybe the local police or perhaps the Tren de Aragua dudes. You send your goons to three houses in your neighborhood, the Smiths, the Wilsons and the Magilakumbas. The Smiths will be forced to clean your house before and after the party. The Wilsons will be forced to decorate your house and set up the tables and chairs. The Magilakumbas will be forced to buy and prepare the food and drinks.

When the guests arrive, you make sure those other families are hidden out of the way, perhaps in holding cells downtown. You greet your guests with warm smiles and hugs. You make sure pleasant music is playing and pay attention to the shy members of the crowd to see that they are having a good time.

The food is excellent, the decorations tasteful and the house is spotless. Everyone has a great time. After they leave, you have the Smiths dragged out of their cell and, upon threat of imprisonment and beatings, you force them to clean up the place while you go outside and relax in the hot tub.

What a wonderful host you were! What a delightful party! You certainly didn't oversimplify the question of hospitality, did you?

The real pro-life choice is not whether to help migrants or not; it is how we should we helping migrants, rather than ignoring their obvious needs to develop their lives as Paul VI indicates God wills human lives to develop!

Thus, while discussions of policy structures are more necessary than ever, especially in terms of assisting development and stable governance in sending countries, the present crisis should call upon the Christian churches in a special and unique way to demonstrate that manifesting welcome signals a deeper conviction about God’s unique call to every person to find flourishing. When Paul VI starkly states that “the world is sick” (PP §66), he then points toward the only hope: “the dynamism of a world which desires to live more fraternally” that “is, even unawares, taking slow but sure steps toward its Creator” (PP §79). This recovery of the sense of the Creator is at the core of the fight for life. And, as Paul saw so well, it also should be at the core of the fight for the lives of others, especially migrants facing social situations of danger and despair, so that each life might be able to respond to the call given by that same Creator.

How fraternal you were! You opened your house and heart to the less fortunate and helped them flourish!

After your efforts, once the Smiths have been shoved out the door and forced to return to their home, you light a votive candle and look up to heaven and think about how much you love Jesus. You certainly did His work, didn't you? You pray for patience as you know that tomorrow the Magilakumbas will be back to remove the tables and chairs. God must surely know how trying those people are. Why, they even voted for Trump and closing the border!

Aren't you just the bestest? So much better than those filthy, selfish deplorables who refused to open their own homes to the migrants guests!

Yes, the Bible teaches us all about how to show hospitality to the less fortunate. How to open our hearts and homes to them. Giving is loving and loving is doing God's work.

Since you and your fellow highly-educated progressives will almost certainly retire before this bill comes due, you are effectively sending the cops to hassle our children and grandchildren, threatening them with liens and prison time if they don't pay for your love and kindness. What a nice person you are! Truly, you are living out your faith by welcoming the migrants.

As our friends across the pond welcome more and more, err, diverse migrants to their shores, they are effectively selling American real estate since the only rational reaction to an Islamic UK is for the native Brits to get out of there. The chap working for Century 21 in the video below is Nigel Farage, formerly known as a far-right, white-supremacist racist who wanted to reduce immigration. If he's talking submission, then it's time to sell while the land prices in Ol' Blighty are still high.

See? Doing God's work can be profitable, too! Well, if you own property in the red states, that is.

People shouldn’t be shocked by this!

This man spent years destroying Nationalism and the ‘Far Right’ even gloating about it being his ‘greatest achievement’

Now he’s saying ‘Team up with the Muslims’ or else!!!
