As the tenor of the discussion seems to be deteriorating to newspaper comment levels, I’m going to close comments. Thank you all for your participation.

Thank you for your kind welcome Steve. Your post is very amusing. I suppose if one’s presence here as an illegal defrauds no one I would agree. Please show me such an example of how illegal status does not involve fraud. This isn’t merely Caesar’s law. It is our interdependent community. Again your (its only the monolithic government) stand betrays your leftward leanings.

Oh my. Am I understanding right that the Salt Lake Tribune commenting crowd just showed up complete with lack of capitalization and punctuation? Now that’s scary.

(It seems like this story and all the different issues surrounding it have already been discussed thoroughly and the new commenters are just rehashing things that were said earlier in the discussion. But I could be wrong about that. As Steve just pointed out, aloysiusmiller, of all people, might be saying something original.)

It looks like the comments here have been hijacked by the crowd who have been posting comments on the Salt Lake Tribune article. Kudos to the Tribune for a decent article, but a pox on the vast majority of those who commented on the article. Nothing’s uglier than anti-Mormons and illegal immigrant haters banding together for a common cause.
By the way, ds7 is a troll on the Tribune pages.
It’s obvious that illegal immigrants have become the scapegoats of our generation. Blaming them for all of our problems doesn’t actually solve anything. And calling church leaders to repentance only shows how far some have fallen into apostasy.
Do we put our trust in God’s word and God’s law? Or in man’s? Do we see others as human beings or as monsters? Is the LDS church an international church, or is it an American church? Time to decide.

aloysiusmiller, loath as I am to see you here, you’re raising an interesting point — except I am not sure that Christ would say that complete compliance with Caesar’s law is a prerequisite to coming to Him.

Darren, as a newcomer to this little cocktail party it behooves you not to badmouth the host and mock the party locale. If you don’t like it, leave. But if you stay, please be a nice guest.

Chris H. Says: “…Skousen wrote about this stuff but he was never a “noted byu religion professor.”…”

not to get off on a tangent here, but…cleon was a byu religion professor and he has written a book that in the past year has been rated #1 on the amazon.com website, the largest online bookseller in the world…that would put any author in the “noted” category…but i suppose it all comes down to what your definition of “noted” is…how about this, he probably has greater “name recognition” than any other byu religion professor outside of the LDS community or provo…
