Time to slow our roll on DACA and illegal immigration

This is a difficult topic for most people.  I have looked at both sides. It was not difficult for me when I remembered the Biblical injunction in the following two verses.

Leviticus 19:33-34King James Version (KJV)

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

I can see a criminal being sent home no matter how high they are in society. A child educated here and law abiding, why send them to country that they may not even speak the language. Most of these immigrants pay taxes and hold jobs.

I read James 2:13 regarding the judgment our Government offers the immigrants and those in DACA. 

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
