Jesus asks us to welcome the stranger.
Even the Old Testament asks us to care for the stranger.
This is a pointed message to us in America, a nation of immigrants.

Contrary to liberal opinions, America is NOT a nation if immigrants, it is a nation of law-abiding
citizens.
Nazareth was never considered a ****hole. Backwards, uneducated, and unlettered, yes. Perhaps the Samaritans were considered a ****hole.
Concerning the Old Testament Israel, Exodus 12:48 says, "
But if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it." Since you like to apply the scriptures to the USA, perhaps this is a good one to vet the immigrants with -- let them all be circumcised!
But seriously
zeek, why don't you be honest here and admit that Trump was never against immigrants, only
illegals.
