Unfortunately came across one of those mush-for-brains hit pieces on Republicans who take a strong stand on illegal immigration. It was "What Would Jesus Do?" by some female named Ananda Rose. Ananda Rose*. Says it all right there.
WWJD? I'll tell you, he'd have every divorce law in the country changed so that the only ground was adultery. After all, that's what old Peace Love Forgiveness Jesus said. Mark
WWJD?
Oh, shut up.
*Turns out she has a Harvard Phd in "Religion and Society". Nail in coffin.

I don't know, usmale, maybe you judged her too hastily. Her stated principles celebrate Columbus Day, as well as the right of Abraham to rule Palestine through his son by marriage, Isaac:
»Throughout recorded history, people have migrated in search of a better life. They have walked jaw-dropping distances, across ice and desert, mountains and valleys, jungles and plains, hoping to find easier ways to survive. They have gotten into boats and set sail for shores known and unknown with little hope of reaching them alive.
»In part, it is what makes us human—our tireless movement, from here to there and anywhere. “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you,” God commanded Abraham. And he did so, freely.«
— Ananda Rose Robinson, "Borderline: Stranded in Nogales" (Commonweal, 8 May 2009).
Probably the letters section of the next issue is full of complaints from Palestinians, indigenous Americans and Canadians, the original Celtic and pre-Celtic inhabitants of Britain, Poles evicted from their ancestral lands by the migrating Red Army in 1944-45, et al. But hey, Migration R Us!
