Commentary
This is not surprising as ICE and Border Patrol agents have repeatedly violated the 4th and 6th Amendment rights of those they arrest which surprisingly includes hundreds of America citizens. However, do not be fooled, our constitution applies to everyone within our borders, whether they immigrated legally or not. With Republican administration, a party that uses the Christian religion for votes, it is difficult how they can justify this treatment of immigrants when the bible clearly states:
“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.†Leviticus 19:34
All of this needs to stop. As I stated in a previous commentary, Ronald Reagan, a Republican president, in his final address to the nation reminded us that immigrants are what keep our nation young and strong.
