We have a Moral Crisis in Our Middle

   We have a humanitarian crisis at our border and moral crisis in our middle.
   Oh, I do so believe the rejection of the needy people wanting to come into our country is much that people just haven't given it enough thought, to realize that, yes, we should help these people.
   Maybe not the ones who aren't needy, but the ones who are. If these people are coming because they are in need, then, of course we should help. "When saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?"
   Let not the answer to that question be, "In 2014 at the Mexican border."
   And, I am not just talking of the children. I am speaking of all the needy. I know the fear is that they will overrun our land, and overrun our welfare system. I say, let them come. We have not been overpopulated by all the other things that contribute to population growth. We should not be so fearful of immigration. Welfare? If we have created a system where too many people are on our welfare rolls, then, yes, that should be fixed, meaning the welfare system should be fixed. I would remind you, though, we have run up a $17.5 trillion debt already, with a chunk of that due to carrying for our own, and there has not been this kind of outcry against those people who are on welfare.
   As for what to do with the immigrants -- how to care for them inasmuch our welfare system is broken -- if we do not want to add them to the list of people on it, then pass a law turning the care of the needy immigrants over to private charity. Some would say that law would be struck down on basis of equality, and perhaps they are right.
   I only know I do not like the idea of us turning a blind eye on the needy at our border.
