TGC: How Should Christians Support Immigration Laws? — Good Faith Debates

The issue of immigration is perennially divisive in American politics, and also among American Christians (whose opinions about immigration are often more informed by politics than the Bible).

 

What are the best biblical arguments for strong borders and enforcement of immigration law on one side, or more open borders on the other?

For Christians, how does our faith inform the relationship between respecting the law and showing compassion to undocumented immigrants?

 

These and other related questions are addressed in this debate between Matthew Soerens and Darren Guerra. Soerens and Guerra share their respective arguments and engage in a discussion moderated by Jim Davis, the teaching pastor at Orlando Grace Church.

Length: 1hr 03mins

This debate is part of TGC’s “Good Faith Debates” series. When we keep the gospel central, we can disagree on lesser but still important matters in good faith. In The Good Faith Debates, we hope to model this—showing that it’s possible for two Christians united around the gospel to engage in charitable conversation even amid substantive disagreement.
