And re. the obedience to power that be stuff: First, I'm not advocating that all of these poor people have recourse to smuggling these refugee children in. Second, even if Paul's meaning were completely obvious (which it is not - there's a centuries-old controversy over what the relationship is between Christian churches and state governments, with answers ranging from monarchomach doctrine (it's okay to kill Jezebel) to complete obedience, right now I can't remember anything that says that one cannot criticize one's magistrates' policies. And frankly, even if there were, I personally would disregard it, since I am as committed to democracy as I am to Jesus (or maybe almost as committed).
