Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Immigration We support the sanctity of human life and a realistic immigration policy. Like it or not, the United States needs immigrants as laborers and as a source of new culture. We support rational policies like a guest worker/return program that embrace the reality of the immigrant population and bring their vision of the American dream back into the legal realm. If this were done, Homeland Security could focus on catching the people who are coming here illegally for reasons other than work.We support harsher penalties for human traffickers who neglect or bring harm to people trying to cross the border. We oppose a border wall as being heavy-handed and expensive, but we do support enhancement of the border surveillance network with innovations like robotic solar airplanes and a garrison tower network. Threats to U.S. security through our borders must be taken seriously by all Americans, but they are not an excuse to destroy our culture and our values of freedom.

* Lev. 19:33-34: "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. I am the LORD your God."
* Num. 15:15: "The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD."

* Eph 2:19 "For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

* Lev. 19:9-10: "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God."* Lev. 19:33-34: "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. I am the LORD your God."
* Num. 15:15: "The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the LORD."
