Immigration is one of the most controversial and morally complex subjects in both America and modern Christianity, one that demands both nuance and thoughtful, studious discourse. Historically, the Christian right hasn’t been interested in that—but they’re divine at reducing things to catchy xenophobic catchphrases: “Build the wall!” “Send them home!” “Go back where you came from!” “Deport them all!” “Keep America American!” “Stop the invasion!” “Jobs for Americans, not illegals!” “No amnesty!” etc. I guess “no room at the inn” was taken.
