So, too, should we charge a reasonable penalty for illegal immigrants, but one that doesn't require them to return to their home country.
This is obviously an insane take. Just apply this to your own home. If someone breaks into your home, can you remove them? Should you remove them? Do you have the authority? Is it right to remove them, or do you just say, "Well, all right, you broke in. Pay me a small fee and you can stay." Well that applies for National home too.
There are 8 billion people on the planet there's only 300 million Americans if we allow anyone to come in who wants to come in to sack and loot and pirate are resources and then stay America has been obliterated as a coherent Society.
I want to go back to the quote he's chose, Leviticus, 19:34 because he uses a very specific term, sojourn. This was also used by the way by the men who drafted and debated and ratified the 14th Amendment Birthright citizenship clause in the Constitution. And they talked about sojourners, travelers, transient visitors, as not being subject to the exclusive political jurisdiction of the US, and therefore not qualifying for Birthright citizenship. It's a very important term because a Sojourner is someone who's lawfully present they're lawfully transiting through your country for a brief period of time with the intent and expectation of returning to their home nation when they're travels are done they're not permanent residents they're not trying to become citizens as this account notes love the stranger is the wrong emphasis. It's a Sojourner and by the way as a Sojourner a requirement of being a lawful Traveler is that you're not an outlaw you're not a lawless Traveler when you're in our national home you're required to obey all the laws the natives have to obey. You don't get to come here and violate the laws and qualify as a lawfully present Sojourner then you're just an invader as this account notes a Sojourner doesn't get the special privilege of staying and ignoring the laws stay and obey the law or be ejected in the 14th Amendment debate Congress explicitly relied on scripture, Leviticus 18:26-30.
Let's look at some of these other tabs. Another portion of Leviticus, a requirement for the Sojourner to be treated like ourselves. But you shall keep my statutes in my rules and do none of these Abominations of your own culture either the native or The Stranger sojourns among you bless the land vomit you out when you make it unclean for everyone who does any of these Abominations from among their people.
