Response to comment [from other]:  "No religious test shall be required..."

This is why we are losing our country (Jer 7:6).

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "[S]erpentdove...just can't formulate the words to express her embarrassment in what she's revealed about herself."

Ad hominem.

We love paganism in the White House.

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "Hdushbsh hdjdh. Blargahmph disheveled dubs HHS had barhhagah hehehe planagia."

This is the most persuasive thing you've said all day. Marian would approve.

"Ad hominem...Oh wait..."

A statement of reality.

"Ad hominem."

Oh goodie , you are properly trained. We'll get to the issues now , I'm sure.

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "...[Y]our choice of text baffles me (Jer 7:6)." 

You think we welcome other gods to our own blessing?   "Do not follow other gods that lead you to your own destruction (GWT)."

"I thought you were one of those who wants to throw all the undocumented immigrants out.  Wouldn't that be oppressing the stranger?"

What do you believe we should do with illegal aliens who have broken the law?  You favor lawlessness? Acts 2:23, Mt. 13:41, 2 Cor. 6:14?

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "What sort of "religious test" would you propose?"

Only Christians are fit to lead (Gen. 41:33; Ex. 18:21, 22; Ex. 23:8; Deut. 1:13; Deut. 16:18–20; Deut. 27:19; 2 Sam. 23:3, 4; Ezra 7:25; Psa. 2:10, 11; Psa. 72:1–17; Prov. 16:10, 12, 13; Prov. 17:7; Prov. 19:12; Prov. 20:8, 26, 28; Prov. 21:1; Prov. 24:23–26; Prov. 25:2, 3, 5; Prov. 28:2, 16; Prov. 29:2, 4, 14; Prov. 31:4, 5, 8, 9; Eccl. 8:4; Eccl. 10:16, 17; Isa. 5:22, 23; Isa. 16:5; Isa. 28:6; Isa. 60:17; Jer. 13:18; Rom. 12:8; Rom. 13:1–7; 1 Tim. 2:1, 2; 1 Pet. 2:13, 14).  Swanson, James ; Nave, Orville: New Nave's.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[W]hat is the real reason you do not want to allow foreigners to migrate to your country?"

Who said they do not want immigration from other nations?

"Is it because you believe that (by diminishing their poverty) they will diminish your wealth?"

What is your idea of responsible immigration policy?  Of all the people who want to come to America, what percentage would you allow in?  Would you have people meet certain requirements?  If so, what?
