What the Bible REALLY Says about Immigration

There are both religious and non-religious people on both sides of the debate over comprehensive immigration reform. While one does not need to be religious in order to advocate for the rights of immigrants, religion is very important for many people involved in the debate. That being so, it is important to have an accurate view of what the Bible really says about immigration. In Immigration Policy Center’s latest Perspectives on Immigration, Bruce and Judy Hake, an immigration attorney and Certified Roman Catholic catechist, respectively, debunk restrictionist arguments and show that the Bible actually does support a generous attitude towards immigrants and immigration. Indeed, it mandates it. The Immigration Policy Center’s Perspectives on Immigration are thoughtful pieces written by leading practitioners, academics and researchers who bring a wide range of multi-disciplinary knowledge to the issue of immigration.
