> I'm pretty sure there are different groups also among the same exact religion. If we asked to a large group of Christians whether we, say, should help immigrants, we would probably end up with 3 types of answers: "yes, let's help them!" - "yes, but only for very basic needs, then let's kick them out" - "nope, let's build a wall and let them rot on the other side". Of course the 2nd and especially the 3rd group have absolutely nothing to do with anything christian, and they profess them as such only to not feel guilty, or possibly because the society they live in requires that (how many votes would a politician get is he/she admitted being atheist?) - religion for them is just a series of acts (go to church, make offers, say prayers aloud, etc.) intended to cheat the system and appear as good people while in realty they aren't. I am also sure that the 1st group live a better life, which doesn't mean they'll earn more, actually it's quite likely the opposite, but they grow better "antibodies" to overcome difficulties without anger.

I think you meant to say illegal immigrants, undocumented workers, or some other word.

I think you doing a covert type of name-calling here.

Are Christians not supposed to care about US laws?

I care about the law. If we willfully ignore the laws, where could that stop? What would be the impetus to fix the laws that need updating, or the problem areas we have like a gap in short term agricultural visas?

If we encourage illegal border crossing, who will that benefit, and hurt?

I think it will benefit cartels, coyotes moving people, as well as the big corporations that operate meat-packing plants and foodservice, exploiting low cost labor, and underpaying people. It may benefit the person coming to the US, until that eventual time when they are caught, and sent home.

I think it will also hurt all the people looking for good paying jobs in lower ends of the service sector, and all the legal immigrants that are waiting in line for a chance. All the people that are hurt by an uncontrolled criminal element preying on members of their own communities. Nope, can't think about them. All the construction workers that used to be able to raise a family on doing residential work, nope, can't be concerned about them. Via exploiting the local emergency room for free medical care via EMTALA, the local hospital system will be damaged too, forcing higher rates to be negotiated with insurers, adding to ever increasing insurance rates. Nope, can't talk about that either.

please, refrain from projecting a simplistic morality onto others. There are many points of view out there.
