In Scripture we do not see blanket amnesty but mature discernment, wise welcome and the teaching of Godly cultural stewardship. We find there the principles of human creativity and productivity that yield wealth to sustain care for vulnerable citizens, and to some well-meaning guests. At times in Scripture, we also find the building of walls (Ezra and Nehemiah) that protect from harm and strengthen a nation’s indigenous culture for flourishing. We respectfully disagree with the Evangelical Immigration Table on some of these matters. We believe many EIT friends mean well, and we are inviting them to dialogue on the whole counsel of Scripture — both of justice to citizens and kindness to guests. As always, our questions are: What is the nature of love? What is the whole counsel of Scripture? We also ask, who is funding the EIT, and why? Sadly, far-Left ThinkProgress, admits to “using an evangelical ‘grasstops’ strategy” to pass amnesty. And the EIT has admitted that its parent 501 is the National Immigration Forum (NIF). Upon review of an NIF IRS 990, the largest NIF donor is atheist and globalist George Soros, followed by other Progressive foundations. We regret the EIT’s involvement in a Progressive political strategy that diminishes the Church, the sanctity of life, the poor over time, and the nation at large. We are for wise immigration. In fact, we ask that you prioritize those lawfully applying for U.S. citizenship. They, as well as tax-paying citizens, are often paying the consequences of open borders and lawlessness that confuse our policies and hurt countless people. - See more at: evangelicalsforbiblicalimmigration/#sthash.fgUPojhP.dpuf
