Immigration is not an Entitlement

David Martin | The Daily Knight

We hear much talk these days about ‘immigration this’ and ‘immigration’ that, but immigration isn’t even the issue. The issue is illegal immigration, which is breaking and entry. This is criminal and must never be supported by our civil and religious leaders.

It is the architects of the satanic one-world-government that are pushing this ideology of a borderless world government, which is all the more reason to reject it. This goes against Scripture and Church teaching. God from the beginning has given us nations with leaders, who in turn are bound to guard their borders for the safety of their people. Did not the Israelites guard their borders from the Philistines and other like intruders? 

The people sneaking through our southern border are intruders, the proof being that a great many of them carry firearms and other like weapons. The worst of it is that these weapons have been purchased with our own tax money. Biden gave over $174 billion to Zelensky, who in turn used a good chunk of it to buy firearms and weapons for the cartel rebels. Remember, Zelensky is a Communist and an ally of Putin. Their feud in the press has been staged from the beginning to throw us off.

Planned Invasion from Central America

The influx of illegals into our country has been carried out under the guise “immigration reform” but it all stems from a planned invasion from Central America that has been in the works since the 80s. Naturally, they’ll always throw some women and children on the cartels to soften up our sleepy leaders. Under the tag of immigration, the plan from the beginning was to get the momentum going at our southern border until we eventually saw an all-out invasion of our country. Hopefully, President Trump will finally end this nightmare.

The argument that deporting illegals separates families holds no water. It is the illegals who are separating their families because of ambitions for money and a better living. If the parents are sent back to Mexico, the siblings have a moral duty to return with their parents so they can help them on the farm, but instead many want to remain here to party it up, sell drugs, and get rich.

Or vice-versa, if the children are sent back to Mexico the parents have a moral obligation to return with them and raise them properly, lest they be left to the dogs and gangbusters to be corrupted.

St. Thomas Aquinas Opposed Open Borders

If anyone be contentious over our right to lock certain foreigners out of our country, let them consider the teaching of history’s foremost theologian St. Thomas Aquinas, who taught that every nation has the right to distinguish, by country of origin, who can migrate to it and apply appropriate immigration policies. In his Summa Theologica, Aquinas noted that the Mosaic Law “prescribed in respect of certain nations that had close relations with the Jews,” such as the Egyptians and the Idumeans, and “that they should be admitted to the fellowship of the people after the third generation.”  

Citizens of other nations “with whom their relations had been hostile,” such as the Ammonites and Moabites, “were never to be admitted to citizenship.”

If the Jewish religion commanded that the hostile Ammonites and Moabites be barred from their borders, why shouldn’t hostile drug cartel Hispanics be barred from our borders? 

Immigration is a Privilege, not an Entitlement

Note that some of the Old Testament migrants were willing to follow rules and procedure to obtain their citizenship, and were still denied it, whereas the cartel Hispanics to our south think it’s their entitlement to break through our border and demand free green cards and insurance. Immigration is a privilege, not a right, and the Catholic hierarchy should be the first to echo this truth lest they support illegal breaking and entry.

If our religious leaders today are truly Catholic and in league with St. Thomas Aquinas, let them support Trump’s plan to lock down on our borders, and if illegals from the south break into our country let the bishops, cardinals, and pope support Trump’s plan to deport them.
