He gives every evidence of being a sloppy neo-scholar
who has indulged himself in the sin of proof-texting.

Not one of these texts speaks a word to the problem of
*illegal* aliens.

This addresses *legal* aliens, people who are *not native*
to the land in which they are *legally resident*.

Remember, Jesus never instructed the Centurion to
cease being a Centurion, He merely instructed him
to be ethical.

A Centurion could kill an illegal alien if he caught
him crossing a border that the Emperor had declared
off-limits.
