"I was a stranger, and ye took me in." See Matthew 25:31-40 for complete context. Also see Mosiah 2:17. This is how I see it, but I also believe caution is warranted. For example, we could arrange temporary housing for the refugees while they undergo thorough background checks. Bottom line: Don't let fear stop you from doing the right thing, but use common sense while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteWe should probably let some of them come, given that we keep an eye on them and create a plan to send them home when the fighting is over.

ReplyDeleteI'm a strong supporter of welcoming refugees. We live in a blessed country that has enough resources to be able to help. If we turned our back on those in need then our country's greatness would be worth nothing
