It's all so simple, right?: "For the church, the migrant's plight is a universal one tracing back to the Holy Family. Pope Pius XII, in 1952, declared the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph to be the archetype of every refugee family. He based this on their flight into Egypt, calling them 'the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil.'
The church has emphasized the duty of Christians to 'welcome the stranger,' citing the commandment in the book of Leviticus that 'you shall treat the stranger no differently than the natives born among you.' The church also points to Jesus' description of the final judgment, when those who welcomed him in the form of a stranger inherit the kingdom of heaven."
But as an American, your first job is to kill the alien before it spends your tax money.
