"Sure, a nation has the right and even responsibility to maintain its borders, but the believer has the responsibility to respect and be concerned for the alien, even the one who snuck in illegally, or who doesn’t show much inclination to drop his Spanish, forget about ­Cinco de Mayo, and assimilate. We can argue some other time about how respect and concern should play out, but surely they will avoid the harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric that is employed without much thought at times by those who claim to follow Yeshua."
