Not Oppressing Foreigners

Recently, many #Libtards have been "quoting the Bible" in attempts to convince the Right to accept illegal immigrants. As usual, they twist the scripture to suit their purposes. The verse quoted is Leviticus 19:33-34 (HCSB) -
“When a foreigner lives with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God."

This angle is wrong for three reasons:

1. The verse refers to legal resident aliens.
This verse does not deal with invaders who come to your country illegally. The verse clearly is speaking of legal immigrants and resident aliens, if one were to use the modern vernacular.

2. The Bible rewards immigrants who assimilate to your country's culture.
Illegal immigrants are here to invade. Legal immigrants are here to adopt our culture as their own.
If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the Lord ’s Passover, every male in his household must be circumcised, and then he may participate; he will become like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it. The same law will apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
Exodus 12:48‭-‬49 HCSB

3. The verse has nothing to do with government handouts.
"You must not oppress him" is not the same as "you must give him welfare." Furthermore, the Bible commands we must take care of our own families first:
But if anyone does not provide for his own, that is his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:8 HCSB

Of course, the angle that's never spoken of: #Libtards hate the Bible. They never quote it unless they have ulterior motives. Don't believe them.
