He says, Scripture not the Bible The verse recited undermines his executive order His spiritual advisers should find a verse that doesnt directly undermine the point(s) he’s trying to make or the unlawful action(s) he’s trying to defend. Exodus 22:21 - Leviticus 19:34 - Deuteronomy 10:19 - denotes an immigrant who entered Israel, followed the process of law, had legal sponsorship of the government (or a family), and upon recognition of citizenship status (legal, resident immigrant), fully embraced - and was subjected to - the laws of those among whom they dwelled. In other words, during the process of - and in gaining legal status, these ‘strangers’ assimilated and followed the laws of those whom they sought cultural and material benefit. They also received the same legal protections as the native born and were considered permanent residents. These ‘strangers’ didn’t game the system or take advantage of those whom they requested refuge. Their new leader (or government) wasn’t a proud and arrogant conduit of further law breaking. “Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger - we were strangers once, too. My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.”
