This Christian Isn’t ‘Torn’ Over Illegals

Evangelical Christians say the issue of illegal aliens in the United States often creates a conflict between their allegiance to the Gospels and their loyalty to the government. - from “Christian groups torn over illegals,” Washington Times
George Bush wants amnesty for illegal aliens, and now he’s got the Congress he needs to make it so. But I don’t want to talk about him. I want to discuss Christian “compassion,” illegal aliens, and illegal aliens who call themselves Christians.
I don’t like when people try to make the ludicrous argument that because I’m a Christian, I can’t speak out against illegal “immigration.” I expect such ignorance from unbelievers, but it’s 10 times as irritating when Christians say it. “Ministering to all people” and spreading the Gospel are not in conflict with my opposition to giving criminal aliens the gift of American citizenship.
Whenever some Christian starts ragging on me about how “un-Christian” my views on illegal aliens are, I ask them to tell me what criticism they’ve leveled against illegal aliens who profess Christ. In anticipation of the sounds of chirping crickets, I give them an out: Hypothetically, what would you say to the illegal alien who professes Christ?
Still… crickets.
