I sit in my nice comfy computer chair and try to figure out what would Jesus say about the immigrant issue. I have a tough time believing that Jesus would tell them to go home. That stance doesn't seem to fit in with any of the stories about Jesus in the Gospels. So I'm left saying, along with Archbishop Mahoney of the Catholic church, that we should let the immigrants in.
Will that make us worse off as a nation? Maybe. But that really isn't the concern of love. Love is not looking out for my own interest. Love makes me vulnerable.
And I also am saddened that the Republicans have set the immigration aside because it isn't to their political advantage.
Watch out for the potholes.
