What the Bible Says About Illegal Immigration
By Joseph Farah
WorldNetDaily
With illegal immigration re-emerging as a major issue of the Republican presidential candidates, I thought it would be a good time for a review of the moral dimensions underlying this problem – using the wisdom and inspiration of the Bible as our guide.
I’m often surprised by how many Christians and Jews are confused about what the Bible tells us about national borders, foreigners, citizenship and the law.
