I think Sojourner's takes this a little far:

...Abram and Sarai, the mother and father of Israel, are now planted in my imagination as possible protestors and rabble rousers. Their act of potential civil disobedience is found in Genesis. Abram's welcome of three strangers is the quintessential hospitality story in the Bible. It is marked by a flurry of activity as Abram rushes about ordering food, cleaning up the tent and entertaining the mysterious newcomers.

But Abram welcomes the three without knowing where they came from or where they are going. He asks for no identification and requires no answers about the strangers' country of origin. As such, if Abram lived in the U.S. in 2007, these actions would have made him a potential crime suspect. If the strangers turned out to be undocumented workers a bill passed by the House in December would have allowed law enforcement to arrest the holy couple for harboring illegal aliens.

I see this as a situation, at first glance, of taking a biblical example out of context for the purpose of proving one's point, the Religious Right doest his all the time and the left bemoans it, now the left is getting savvy at the same thing.

I'm all for people coming to America to make a better life for themselves, I just want it done legally, and it sounds like that may mean the laws need to be changed, I'm fine with that.
