Episode 758: What rights do illegal immigrants and refugees have in America?

Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior, Friday March 17, 2017

Again we need to deal with the issue of rights and who has them. Everyone on God’s green have rights because God gave them to them. But does that mean they can exercise them anywhere they want without responsibility or consequences?

This is the question that needs to be answered when it comes to immigrants entering any country. Any country that has a working government has laws, or should have laws, governing immigration and citizens rights or the exercise of those rights. Just because you have rights, doesn’t mean that governments will recognize those rights, or let you exercise those rights. Only governments set up by the people (little d democracies), that are self governed by the people, will choose for themselves the freedom and liberty to exercise those rights.

Just because you want to go to another country doesn’t mean that country has to recognize your needs, wants or desires. Most countries will help out for humanitarian reasons, but most countries also knows the difference between a humanitarian need and an invasion.

Daily Bible reading: Genesis 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
