“Listen, Parson,” he said, with a bit of hostility in his voice, “I've heard people saying you're going around pushing the establishment of a Hispanic church in the area.”
“Well, I wouldn't call it pushing,” said the parson. “I think it's something we should consider since there are so many Hispanics here.”
“Well, there's plenty here, Parson. The reason there's so many here is the government refuses to protect our borders.”
“Oh, I was confused,” the parson responded. “I thought they were here to pursue the American dream.”
“I bet you did, Parson. I bet you did considering your damn liberal attitude about everything. It's beyond me how someone with your education and breeding could be so damn welcoming to a bunch of illegals.”
The parson smiled, “I'm a citizen of the Kingdom of God, my friend. And in that kingdom there's no such thing as an illegal.”
Word.

But, there are requirements to get into God's kingdom, just as there are to get into the USA. The difference, is that God controls the borders and absolutely will not allow you to cross into Heaven with the right "qualifications" - so no illegals allowed. The USA is very lax about their "qualifications", therefore making them ineffectual and resulting in illegals. Imagine Heaven if everybody was there just because they wanted to be - it would be just like earth (the World).
