Ordinarily humans are cliché-ish, tribal, and we tend to care for those who are ‘like us’. By accessing the power of the Love of God, Jesus loved people who were excluded from the group, the stranger and the other.

The way of love calls us to create a system that is compassionate for the potential immigrant and the where burden of welcoming them is shared equitably among our citizens.
