I have said this to my own children when they were younger and we did not have a lot. Do not confuse emotion with what we can afford to do in this house. We cannot take your friend in to live, no matter how sad it is. We have to take care of the children in this house first.

Nice post but it does not answer the question of "is this the compassion we are taught in church" or what we want our children to teach to their children.
Remember also, the SNAP program was dramatically cut for the feeding of American citizen children. I see the results of this every week at the food pantry where, yes, there are some illegal immigrants who are clients as well as many citizen families. There is a large drawing of Jesus at the pantry. What would He do?
