Worship God. Use money to please Him. God is for immigrants and other people. Deuteronomy 10:17-20 Amplified Bible says, "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, the terrible God, Who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger or temporary resident and gives him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger and sojourner, for you were strangers and sojourners in the land of Egypt. You shall [reverently] fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and by His name and presence you shall swear."
Satan, the enemy of God and all people, gets some people to use money to please Satan by doing evil. Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, wrote a June 2013 article for the Huffington Post explaining that the Chinese government uses money to pressure people to do its evil will and that it is likely that New York University was subjected to this pressure. Tutu writes, "The university's public relations people say they are not responding to pressure in letting Chen go. Their statements are well worked out. However, the Chinese government's actions have been fairly consistent with businesses or allied countries who fail to do their bidding when it comes to voices they do not approve of. They have squeezed companies financially, dropped contracts, and in other ways have repeatedly threatened and punished those "business partners" who fail to tow the line. When the Nobel Committee awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to dissident Liu Xiaobo, one of China's responses was to strangle the Norwegian fishing industry, cutting their fish imports by 60%. In my own country in 2011, Chinese pressure on the South African government resulted in His Holiness the Dalai Lama being denied a visa to attend my 80th birthday party. They have gone so far as to have Chinese embassies contact film festivals and request that films critical of China be pulled from the festival. And they have rewarded those influential individuals who do their bidding handsomely."
New York University can still do good by reinstating Chen Guangcheng. Chen Guangcheng is a lawyer, human rights activist, blind and speaks Chinese. In 2005 he filed a class-action lawsuit against Chinese officials involved in forced abortions and forced sterilizations. China put him in jail. Then in house arrest. Chen Guangcheng escaped from house arrest and became a US immigrant along with his wife, Yuan Weijing, and their two children, Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi.
It's good for America to know about evil in other countries and those who are fighting against it. Helping these fighters to be successful helps to end evil in China and other countries.
We need many good fighters. Some of the evil in China is in America. Elaine Riddick was raped at 13. Then North Carolina state forcibly sterilized her. The sterilization was legal according to a 1933 law that allowed government workers to forcibly sterilize people deemed 'mentally diseased, feeble-minded or epileptic.' In the United States more than 60,000 people have been forcibly sterilized. Gianna Jessen was born with cerebral palsy due to an attempted abortion. Jessen survived the abortion. However, since 1973 more than 55 million girls and boys have been killed by abortion.
New York University should go out of it's way to help Chen Guangcheng.
America shouldn't help terrorists and criminals. On April 9, 2013, Chen Guangcheng provided Congress with a list of 44 Chinese officials who have been persecuting his family and recommended that they be investigated and denied US immigration based on crimes committed. Congressman Chris Smith made the same recommendation in a July 29, 2013, letter to Secretary of State John Kerry which also included a request that Secretary Kerry meet with or contact Chen Guangcheng to learn about the human rights situation in China.
America should help freedom fighters and immigrants. Recently, an African American woman asked if I needed a green card. I was born an American citizen. English was a foreign language to me then, but now I am fluent. I also did not pay a dime to become a citizen.
At one tragic time in American history African Americans who were free had to carry on themselves emancipation papers explaining how they obtained their freedom.
Wouldn't it please God to end abortion and forced sterilization? Wouldn't it please God to welcome immigrants offering them citizenship and to cut government waste like green cards? Write to:
