• Noemi Mena in Soujourners’ magazine:

  How do we, as people of God, respond to the complex issues surrounding immigration? God puts it simply: “You all have been there and done that. You all know how hard it is to be away from home. You know the challenges of being a foreigner in a strange land. So you ought to know better. Be good and help out the foreign people in your midst.”

  And now remember that Joseph fled political persecution and took his wife, Mary, and their son, Jesus, into exile in Egypt. Since Jesus (and therefore God) was an immigrant, how do you think he would feel about the punitive treatment of undocumented immigrants in our country today?
