There are a couple of issues where conservatives have completely gone off their rockers, where they endorse liberalism, and claim it is conservatism–borders and police.

Conservatives are supposed to be for small government, but they leave that ideal behind on this topic. In this video, we see a clear demonstration that Reagan is for much more freedom on this issue than Bill Clinton/Obama, etc. Yet conservatives ignore Reagan and adopt liberalism whole hog.

I’d also point out that conservatives are supposed to be strict constructionists on the Constitution. Yet, the Constitution gives no power to congress to regulate immigration, but they’re willing to throw out the Constitution on this topic.

Is this just an intellectual exercise, or is it important for Christians to be able to figure this out? It seems important to me to figure this out. The Bible speaks on this topic. Why would we be free to ignore it or contradict it? We are to be kind to immigrants and stand up for the weak. If we are in favor of the government harassing people, we are hardly applying biblical principles.
