You purposely ommit very key parts of that statement
"Around the world, debate on the immigration question has become intense. That is especially so in the United States. Most Americans agree that the federal government of the United States should secure its borders and sharply reduce or eliminate the flow of undocumented immigrants. Unchecked and unregulated, such a flow may destabilize society and ultimately become unsustainable.

As a matter of policy, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discourages its members from entering any country without legal documentation, and from deliberately overstaying legal travel visas."

Once again please point to me anywhere in all of the LDS standards works where the Lord has said that we should support those who violate the law and ignore laws that we do not think are correct or fair and where the Lord said that it is ok for anyone to deceive anybody or any entity for gain or to avoid consequences for our actions?

The statement the Church issued is clear that those who have come here illegally should "square themselves with the law" and to not lie about their immigration status. This Church's statement is clear that the resolution of the illegal question does not have to mean granting citizenship or amnesty.

Once again if you do not present both sides and the full context of the Church's statement, you loose credibility.
