i have no problem with churches helping foreigners - in their own country. send them money, travel to their countries and build farms, houses, wells, etc. however, DO NOT assist them in my country.
churches are looking to assist illegal aliens for only one reason - filling the pews. they cover this with a "help the downtrodden" story. i'm all for helping the downtrodden, from their own country.
when mary and joseph traveled, they traveled for government reasons - their census. churches and illegals should understand this part of the bible. people belong in their own countries, unless they have permission to be elsewhere. jesus would never condone breaking righteous laws.
even jesus said "render unto caesar that which belongs to caesar". in other words, follow the laws of the land.
