Inhumanely mistreating anyone is bad. But I would like to know specifics there. Like, are you talking about deportation? Are you talking about not letting people into our country? Because, again, countries were God's idea, laws were God's idea. Borders were God's idea.

The Bible doesn't say thou shall not kill. It says thou shalt not murder. Murder and killing aren't the same thing.

The Hebrew Bible's ethical monotheism emphasizes one God and the golden rule, guiding proper belief and conduct.

The Bible takes offense to this like papal comment that the death penalty is not pro-life. Like, I know people will say, oh, you're so arrogant to believe that. You're not calling me arrogant. That's you think you're nicer than God, I guess. I don't, I don't want to be there. Like, that's self-idolatry.
