their children.
The Bible is chock full of God's design for parents to "bring up their
children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4
KJV, cf. Proverbs 22:6). To achieve such requires parents being with
their children.
But vocationally speaking, Jeff Sessions is appointed as the chief
enforcer of the laws of our country. His job demands that he be true to
the laws that Congress has enacted and presidents have signed into law.
In my Bible study on Immigration (click here for study), I point out
that there are three classifications of people in every country, as was true
in ancient Israel in the Old Testament (OT).
Note the three classifications (that are found in the study) below.

DISTINGUISHING VARIOUS PEOPLE IN ANCIENT ISRAEL
DESIGNATION
Citizen
Legal Immigrant
Foreigner

KNOWN AS
Countryman
Sojourner
Illegal

HEBREW WORD
Ach
Ger/Toashab
Nokri/Zar

No government should separate children from their parents who are
citizens of the country, herein called countrymen. Nor should the state
separate children from their parents who are migrating legally
(sojourners). The remaining category listed above are illegal
immigrants. Every country today follows these same OT distinctions.
It follows that when someone breaks the law of the land that they should
anticipate that one of the consequences of their illegal behavior will be
separation from their children.
Such is the case with thieves or murderers who are arrested and put in
jail. The passage the Attorney General cited, Romans 13, bespeaks of
this: there are and there should be serious, known consequences for
breaking the laws of the land — otherwise the law becomes toothless
and inconsequential and it is no longer a deterrent to harmful behavior,
which is what God designed it to be.
The context of the Attorney General’s comments is in regard to illegal
immigrants only — not citizens or sojourners; in fact, the Attorney
General’s comments were informed by these biblical word distinctions.
He was speaking only about those who are breaking the law when
crossing our boarders. He was not speaking about citizens or sojourners.
Every person who is thinking about breaking the law should consider
the consequences. In this case, people who are breaking the law will
result in their being separated from their children. Such consequences
act as a deterrent to crime and curtail illegal immigration.
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For
there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are
established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed
the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive
condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for
good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority?
Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is
a minister of good to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be
afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of
God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
Romans 13:1-4 (NASB)
