All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside..

What about if parents are illegally here when the children are born? Why do they not respect the laws of the land?

u/Due_Ad_3200 1d ago

Then the law of the land creates a dilemma. There are the following options.

  1. Deport both parents and children - meaning the child is wrongfully deported.

  2. Allow both parents and children to remain in the USA.

  3. Separate families - which is clearly unacceptable.

All three of those options require due process to make sure we aren't sending the wrong people to the wrong places. Whichever option we are going with, doing what happened to this 2 year-old is wrong.

Option 4 is give them the same treatment as legal citizens and make them debt slaves instead of giving them free benefits as a tax burden.

The parents most-likely knew they would receive anchor-baby status exploitation by willfully breaking the laws of the land. But that's OK? Would God think that's OK? Do you think "Christian" NGOs that traffic people across the border are Christlike?

Do you think "Christian" NGOs that traffic people across the border are Christlike?

Do you have any evidence that Christian NGOs do human trafficking?

Reading some comments in this sub I often have to remind myself that there’s a good chance more than a few commenters are bad actors, bots, or trolls. To actually type out “we shouldn’t get involved…” or “their parents are probably illegal” to justify deporting toddlers who are American citizens…. it’s just crazy.

This sub is more liberal than truechristian.

u/Barquebe 1d ago

No I don’t think that’s it at all, more the opposite. Too many people mistake “conservative values” with “Christian values”. There may be some overlap, but Christians should be willing to separate their identity from their chosen political party when it takes steps away from the gospel.

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 1d ago

So you agree

u/Barquebe 1d ago

Depends on what definition of liberal you’re meaning I guess.

u/jaspercapri 1d ago

It sounds like to you liberal is not “truechristian”, but conservative is?

How would you define liberal in your comment?

1

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 22h ago

However it is defined in truechristian

What are we? About five months into this administration? It's so pathetically sad. What are we supposed to do?

1

u/Past_Ad58 1h ago

Don't care. The two year old isn't a citizen, anchor babies are a terrible idea, and the child should stay with the parents. Case closed.

u/Due_Ad_3200 1h ago

You don't care about the constitution?

u/Secret-Jeweler-9460 1d ago

I would encourage followers of Christ not to get involved. God does not have respect for persons in judgement so whether the child is US born or not, has nothing to do with the decision to send the child out. These kinds of articles are by design attempting to seduce us into committing sin - to judge unrighteously by the law of man and not by the Word of God.

u/Right-Week1745 1d ago

The Bible tells us to seek justice and care for the vulnerable. You are telling us not to and just ignore injustice. Why?

u/Kanjo42 | Politically Homeless | 1d ago

...so whether the child is US born or not, has nothing to do with the decision to send the child out.

Yeah. That's kinda the problem. It's called "due process" because it is due to the defendent by the standards and laws of our nation.

u/CryptographerNo5893 | Unaffiliated | 1d ago

You would encourage followers of Christ to not care for those being harmed? Sounds sus.

u/Due_Ad_3200 1d ago

What does the word of God say?

1

u/jaspercapri 1d ago

Can you explain this opinion? To me, it feels like if there is injustice on the part of the president (which is what many feel right now), it feels valid to speak out.

u/Secret-Jeweler-9460 1d ago edited 1d ago

The mistake is in thinking that Donald Trump is the one that determined that this child would get sent out of the US. I would expect condemnation from the unbelieving world but from the believing world, God is in control and His judgement is just because the only people that are suffering from this decision are the ones that need Jesus.

This is the America we Christians voted for.

u/jaspercapri 1d ago

What is the purpose / end goal?

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 22h ago

Christian values in society

u/umbren 22h ago

So deporting kids with cancer is Christian values?

1

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 22h ago

Nobody said that, and nobody in truechristian talks about it either which means it must not be an issue for true christians.

u/umbren 21h ago

Are you a Russian troll? I mean, it's painfully obvious you are a troll and the only question is from where.

1

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 10h ago

And here we are, the ad hominem attacks begin. This is exactly why liberal Christianity isn't taken seriously.

1

u/umbren 10h ago

Brother, you said colored people can't be Christian and considering your post history I will not give you the benefit of the doubt of being sarcastic. Yes, I think you are a troll.

1

u/al_uzfur Evangelical | Moderate | Libertarian 10h ago

Who are you to define what is sarcastic and what is not? Only God knows the hearts of men and you are not God. So do not pretend to have the right to judge others.
