It is coming time for Christians to harbor innocents being persecuted by the state, at risk of their own liberty.
If there is an economist reading this I challenge you to provide economic justification for anti-immigrant laws. As a graduate student in economics, as far as I know, there are none.
To those of you who don’t know economics, don’t try to make arguments about economic conditions.
From the Christian perspective, there is no reason at all to respect state borders. They are arbitrary constructs of empire designed as instruments of distinction for the benefit of those in power. Personal boundary lines are to be respected by all individuals, but state and national borders are not personal or collective property.
I hereby declare that I will willingly provide refuge to an illegal immigrant who has not violated the rights of other individuals. You may come and live with me. I will protect you from the INS. Even if I have to go to jail for it.
Other courageous Christians, join me in this declaration!
