Once you strip a human being of dignity, he/she is dehumanized. This is precisely what the Trump Administration is seeking to do illegal immigrants; even calling them Aliens as though they are non-humans from a distant strange planet. Symbols motivate human behavior. On the one hand, the symbol of dehumanizing illegal immi- grants from Latin American countries is designed as deterrence to non-Whites seeking immigration to America. On the other hand, President Trump has boldly and openly stated: “if the immigrants were Whites at the border and from Scandinavian countries it would not be a problem. Let them in”. Humility is Godly, and arrogance is devilish.
When individuals are only concerned for themselves and have absolutely no regard for the plight of others, seeds of societal discord are sown. This is precisely why the Bible tells us: “Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” (Philippians 2: 3-4). America aims to provide equitable solutions for supporting the poor and disadvantaged.

The following scripture is moral instruction for all individuals who are in leadership positions: “for Kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have all men to be saved, and come into the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2: 2-4). More importantly, nothing can separate us from the love of God: “What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8: 31).
America, we must always remember that every human being has inherent intrinsic Godly value. All human be- ings are created in the spiritu- al image of God, a little lower than the Angels. Therefore, every person deserves to be treated with dignity and re- spect; even those who violate the law must be accorded due process rights. Therefore, legal due process rights is the essence of America’s greatness as a multi-cultural society. In fact, due process rights is the spiritual foundation of a free moral society, based solely upon “right reasoning”, not flawed self-centered Presidential declarations. Government exists to protect human rights, civil rights, and human dignity based solely upon the concept of “we the people”. It’s not about political will and law enforcement authority, but moral reasoning. America, the concept of legitimate governance exists. Therefore, the Constitution is the law of the land (America), not the President. The President simply takes an oath to
