Bush Says Laws Must Treat Immigrants With Respect
President George W. Bush, seeking to refocus the immigration debate in Congress, said the U.S. must attack the “underground industry” that thrive on illegal immigrants while treating undocumented workers “with respect.”
()() Why? Illegal aliens (not undocumented workers) have no respect for US or our laws. It won’t take massive deportations, just deport 1% and the rest will get the message that they have to obey our laws.

right on Jason!!
If the government used their immigration logic on drug users, the jails would be EMPTY!!
Either enforce existing laws, or do away with them completely!

Yes…I’m sure that deporting a few people will put the fear of god into every illegal immigrant in the United States. People are deported everyday and it does not put a dent in illegal immigration.
Sorry, you’re just using poor logic.

Wow, Bush the Christian actually enforcing an unpopular part of the bible. I am impressed

Based on your blog History Guy, you seem to know very little about being a christian, or the Bible.

I know plenty Joseph. Hell, I was an unmolested altar boy for years. You just disagree with my interpretation of it. This is okay, because it’s all the same.

So your hatred of catholicism has turned into a hatred towards ALL religion, or just Christianity??
Sad.
I was raised in the Catholic church till my mother quit taking me, although I still have issues with much of their doctrine.
I also have problems with the mormon and jehovah’s witness doctrine.
Believe it or not, there are actually LOTS of people in church today… who will still be there after the rapture happens.

The Rapture isn’t real. Hell, not its not even in the bible, which is why it only appeared in the 1840s after some failed preacher started to lose followers.
As for my “hatred” of religion, my distain of religion comes from the idiocy of its followers, their refusal to keep to themselves, and their self-righteous and undeserved sense of superiority because they believe in some magic man. Yeah, religious whackos have engaged in horrific amounts of violence, but they still seem to think the have some sort of monopoly on morality. I mean, seriously after the horrific massacres of Muslims by Christians during the 1990s, Christians still think of themselves as being more moral than me. Hey, it wasnt atheists ethnically cleansing Bosnia and Kosovo.

So you know the Rapture is not real, and that Hell is not real.
Could you please explain the reference to Jesus story in Luke 16:19-31 ?? If you have studied well, you will notice that out of all the parables Jesus told, this one is the only one that names the person in the story. Several scholars believe that this was not merely a parable, but more of an actual event. Verse 23 (KJV) mentions hell by name - “And in hell he lift up his eyes”.
If christians were to ‘keep to themselves’, they would be violating the ‘order’ given by Jesus before He left the earth - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
True followers of Christ are commanded to tell others, and teach others. To ignore this would be to ignore Christ.
Do christians have a monopoly on morality? No.
Will morality get you to Heaven? No.
Being a moral person is a lifestyle choice. There are very moral atheists, and there are very immoral people who call themselves Christians. If I came across a person calling themselves a christian, and they claimed to have a monopoly on morality, I would run from them.
HG - if you went to a restaurant and got really rotten food, would you quit going out to eat altogether?
If you went to a doctor and he totally screwed up the diagnosis, would you quit going to ALL doctors?
If you got some bad gas from one certain gas station, would you quit driving your car because ALL stations were bad?
I have had more than my share of bad experiences in churches. But that does not mean I am giving up on God. We are ALL sinners in need of a savior. Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. There is no such thing as a perfect church - if there were, it wouldn’t be perfect after I arrived there.
You wouldn’t let one (or even a couple) bad apples spoil the whole bunch… why let a couple ‘religious whackos’ spoil a relationship with the Creator of the universe?

Look Joseph, if you can explain to me why I should believe in Jesus rather than say Zues, Jupiter, or Santa Claus, I’d be delighted to hear it.

HG, be glad to explain it to you… right after you produce the source of the Thomas Jefferson mis-quote, fair enough??
