Lake Union Makes Official Statement Appealing for the Human Dignity of the Immigrants

The Lake Union Conference affirms the North American Division’s statement “An Appeal for Human Dignity and Decency,” released on January 30, 2025. We support the values expressed in that message, recognizing its call for every person to be treated with the respect and compassion that come from being created in the image of God.

Quote

God calls His people to uphold justice, extend mercy, and walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8).   From the article. 

Let us not forget that these illegal aliens are criminals.  They have broken the law.  Never forget that. 

My family cannot just come to America ! My sister in-law, mother-in-law,  cousins and more. But these people think they are special and can ignore the laws and expect church people to help them. 

At this point, my wife cannot even come to America. My retirement income is too low.  I am supposed to feel compassion for people who have no respect for the law and now are facing consequences. 

What is wrong with our people?

With no actual proof! You need to check some factual websites that do fact checking!!

Well, if they are there without a proper visa, that is a crime.  Sneaking in the country is a crime. Overstaying your visa is a crime. 

 

I stand by my comment. They are criminals.

I would love to know where your wife and family are from, and why you didn't stay with her.
