Interesting comment about the Arizona immigration law
First, this post from Andrew Sullivan:
Here’s something the Christianist right won’t bring up in the immigration debate (although they often refer to it when it comes to marriage equality). Leviticus:
Leviticus 19:33-34 (NIV)
When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt.
A reader adds:
Also see:
Leviticus 19:33
Exodus 22:21
Exodus 23:9
Deuteronomy 24:17-18
Leviticus 19:9-10
Deuteronomy 24:19-22
Deuteronomy 10:18-19
Hebrews 13:2
I have to say I am very proud of my church in this instance. Human dignity matters.
And read this post for a variety of reader reactions to the law.
