Mistreating foreigners – “the foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born”

Leviticus 19 33-34

I just cut this from another thread here and posted it on my timeline on FB. Wow! Did I strike a nerve with someone who is apparently a Scott Walker supporter and is sure she will lose her job to an immigrant or be beheaded by one. She has taken to spamming my page with articles about beheadings and burnings and how Obama is afraid to go to war with ISIS. I just wanted to let you know that in all of my time posting my opinions on my own page I have never had anyone react so intensely to something. And all I did was post that bit.

My first husband was one and so is my current husband. We are all here because someone picked up and came to find another life for whatever reason. It must be terrible for the people who think like this to live in so much fear.

Rabbinical scholars agree on that point. Inhospitality was the sin of Sodom.
