Even Heaven Has Borders

Two notes (feel free to pass them along to VDare if you think they're worthy):

1: RE the analogy that heaven has borders - we should be wary of this argument despite its obvious appeal. Invasion supporters will seize on the implication that we (Americans) are heavenly and the invaders (Mexicans) evil who must be kept out. Ie - Rayciss!!!

2. Perhaps a wiser riposte to those attempting to use the Bible to support invasion of the West would be a demand for the Bible verses commanding us to share our homes with those who refuse to build homes of their own. Does God require a farmer to feed his neighbor who refused to plant his own fields and thus had no harvest? The invaders all come from somewhere and all had the opportunity to build their own America back in Mexico, Guatemala, Kenya, Nigeria, or wherever. They chose not to build anything worth sticking around to keep. My ancestors arrived in America when it was wilderness and built it into something nice. They cut down trees, built homes, tilled and planted, then reaped their harvest. Now, having neglected their own plots, the invaders appear on my doorstep and demand a share of what my family worked to build. I believe there is a Biblical reference to this: Robbery.
