Exodus 23:9 Love your neighbor!

9Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

Luke 10:27...... ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

There has been a lot of talk lately about open borders, making illegal aliens legal, free healthcare for illegals, illegal alien governmental assistance and so on.
But look at this verse, “Do not oppress a foreign resident”.
Resident implies legal, to follow a nations laws regarding its borders and residency.

Oppression, prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.

Israelites were in bondage, slaves in Egypt. 

While our elected officials argue over illegal aliens we as Christians are to Love your neighbor as yourself. 

Do you love your neighbor?

Blessings, David
