A MATTER OF SIMPLE CHRISTIAN DECENCY:

Evangelical pastors step up pro-immigration campaign (David Nakamura, August 20, 2013, Washington Post)

A national coalition of evangelical churches announced Tuesday that it is expanding a radio campaign aimed at convincing Republicans in Congress to support a broad overhaul of immigration laws. [...]

Pastors involved in the campaign said that immigration is an important issue in their churches, with a growing number of members who are here illegally or have relatives who fear being deported.

"I have to deal with the collateral damage of our broken immigration system," pastor Felix Cabrera, of the Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. "Many are unjustly detained and deported. Many are separated from their families, leaving behind U.S.-born children without parents."
