Seems to me the a lot of people are missing the point here...it is AGAINST THE LAW for these people to be here. It is AGAINST THE LAW to pay anything lower than established minimum wage. Why should American citizens be willing to work for $1.90 an hour? Even LEGAL immigrants are pissed off about the illegals swarming over here and not having to go through the legal channels they had to BY LAW go through. Legal immigrants had to learn English, and basic laws of being a citizen of this country. They had to assimilate to some degree and were more than willing to do so. Why should the tax payers of this country pay out millions of dollars to accommodate illegals by having everything printed out in spanish language? Why isn't that money used to help fund programs to accommodate Deaf people? Or Blind People? Or help the poor and homeless Americans? Or help fund our schools better? Or help the Elderly? Mexico needs to get it's shit straightened out and help it's own people. They are NOT America's responsibility. We need to clean up our own country and help our own people before trying to take care of everyone else's problems.

Thanks for the idea! For some reason there is no milk sold from Clark this year, and I will check into it.

The other point that is being missed is that the overall objective and function of slavery was for cheap agricultural labor.

That is the exact same overall objective and function of hiring illegal immigrants. Those who support this are breaking the law, they are also supporting slavery.

Meh. I would say the same about those who do not support livable wages in any industry.

Mexico is suing Georgia for HB 87. There is a lot to be said when Mexico does not want their own citizens back.

As I've posted before, slavery is neither good nor endorsed by God.

People who have attempted to use the Bible to justify slavery did so only to get society's approval. They didn't really care what God thought about slavery. It's the same with any sin. One can always find and twist some verse to justify committing one's preferred sin.

Slavery is mentioned in the Bible because it was a fact of life for the cultures of that time. Other practices, not condoned by God, are also mentioned in the Bible. That doesn't mean God approved of them. It means the Bible documented life as it really was, and that it showed the consequences of those practices. The Bible also explains how God set down laws to mitigate the actions of disobedient people.

God didn't say that slavery was "good" in that passage. He provided laws that limited the slavery that was already in existence at that time, and He also provided ways for those who were in bondage to be redeemed.

God has to deal with some very hard-headed, rough people.

Well, if there is such a thing as organized religion, it stands to reason that there must also be disorganized religion.

So, are people against religion, or against organization?

Yes, it says the rich and affluent rulers of that country don't give a **** about their own people, especially the poor, and do their damnedest to pawn them off on us. **** Mexico and it's bullshit lawsuit. They shouldn't be having ANY influence or say in the running of this country. These people are invaders ...and historically every time stuff like this happened it constituted an act of war. So, does this mean Mexico has declared war on the U.S.? Sure as hell seems like it.

If unemployed Georgians were willing to do the work, illegal immigrants wouldn't be necessary.

My implication was that slaves were treated better than many of the illegal migrant workers of today.

Read up on the Fair Labaor Standard Act sometime.

The businesses that hire illegals are comparable to slave drivers.
I really had hoped that this kind of justification and blantant racism was a thing of the past.

This is just so wrong, on so many levels,

No, it doesn't say that God approved of involuntary servitude (slavery). God acknowledged that slavery existed in those cultures. He provided a way of redemption out of slavery.

Just another liberal attempting to turn this into a racist issue (just wait ... it will eventually happen), whom also supports slavery by claiming legal residents of Georgia should work for $1.00 or less per hour doing hard labor.
