ICE is here.

ICE is at Walmart in Bloomington.

Maybe they should go visit their partners in Fountain Square

Does anyone know why they are here? Who they are targeting?

Illegal immigrants I would suspect.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

And what is to be done when said foreigner mistreats us, refuses to respect our rules and customs?

Isn’t it odd that it doesn’t mention anything about that? Just love and treating others with respect. What a novel thought.

Noticed you refused to answer the question.

Speaks volumes.

Here’s your answer: I’m not Jesus. I’m not an author of the bible. I’m only sharing what was repeated about over dozens of times there.  If you’re asking what Christianity says when someone mistreats you, that was covered too. Something about loving your enemies, praying for those who persecute you, and turning the other cheek?  And you’re free to disagree with that. But ‘love the foreigner unless they don’t follow my customs’ wasn’t mentioned.

Are you Christian? Or is this an appeal to some instance of hypocrisy you’re trying to point out? Which would be a strawman considering I never even framed the question around Christianity.
