The immigration debate often centers around the question, “What part of illegal don’t you understand?” People who ask this question are often people who’ve exceeded the legal speed limit, done a “California stop” at some point in their life, quite possibly used drugs in their past. It’s always struck me as self righteous, and I hate to wear my faith on my sleeve but also unChristian, to condemn an entire class of people for having broken a law that the condemner hasn’t personally violated. Something about a first stone comes to mind…?

That’s not to say we should just open our borders to anyone who wants to come in, plus their friends Fat Man and Little Boy.
