What sign would Jesus hang around a giant inflatable rat?







The inflatable rat is ever present as the visible sign that there are scab workers. The last time I saw them, it was a protest in front of a former union supermarket that had closed and re-opened as a non-union supermarket. The reason it had closed was because paying union wages made it non-competitive.
Who would Jesus deport?


An immigration policy that discriminates on a strictly racial or national origin basis would be immoral. But who is advocating that?

What immigration policy did the Jesus' own people have? They were very tough. Read Nehemiah 13 which condemned the presence of foreigners and intermarriage.

For that matter, look at the Holy Family, they fled to Egypt, but returned, rather than becoming immigrants to that land.

Who would Jesus deport? I think he'd leave it to the people to decide as a matter of collective prudential judgment.


What's my contribution to the collective prudential judgment? Enforce the law and reduce new illegal immigration. For people currently who entered illegally or overstayed visas, etc., they should return to the country where they are citizens and apply to enter legally.
