I'm afraid that I only heard part of the show today, but what I heard made me very glad. You spoke of a Biblical basis for allowing a greater number of immigrants into this country, comparing it to our own admittance into the kingdom of God. I was just so pleased to hear that there are other Christians who have reached the same conclusion.

Regarding the new Arizona law, I have to say that I don't see any part of this law that is unjust or unfair. After all, state and local police are charged with enforcing other federal laws (kidnapping, drug violations, etc...), and we consider this to be appropriate. Why should they not be allowed to enforce federal immigration law? The problem, as I see it, is with the federal law that they are meant to enforce. I truly hope that the new Arizona law is a catalyst to start earnest efforts to correct the unjust federal immigration quotas and policies.
