NAE’s Cautious Look at Immigration Reform

The National Association of Evangelicals is wading very gingerly into the issue of immigration reform.

Immigration has long been an awkward issue for evangelicals. Most of the nation’s large, politically influential evangelical organizations have either supported legislation that focuses on border enforcement and deporting illegal immigrants or have taken no position on the issue. But smaller white church groups and Hispanic evangelicals have supported what they consider more compassionate treatment of illegal immigrants, including a path to citizenship and streamlined procedures for reuniting separated families. http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/godingovernment/2009/04/the_naes_cautious_look_at_immigration_reform.htmlBy Jacqueline L.
