Christianity and Open Borders

Summary

The speaker argues that Christians should support open borders and oppose deportations and border walls because they believe these policies are not biblical. They reject the idea that immigration restrictions are primarily a matter of kindness, saying the issue should instead be judged by biblical principles.

The speaker cites biblical passages about applying the same law to native people and foreigners living among them, loving the foreigner, and welcoming foreigners who seek to learn about God. They argue that these teachings do not prescribe border patrols or deportation systems.

They also claim that immigration problems stem from a failure to uphold justice within the country. As examples, they criticize what they characterize as inadequate consequences for serious crimes and propose restitution for theft. In their view, a just society would deter people who intend to commit crimes, making restrictive border policies unnecessary.

The speaker concludes with a prayer for God’s kingdom and will to be established on earth.
