Does Jesus believe in immigration restrictions? Absolutely.
By Bryan Fischer

We have heard endless bloviation from media types who have spent their entire journalistic careers in open hostility to Christianity suddenly pontificating about how un-Christian it is to build walls and restrict immigration to the United States. Why, we're told, that's not something Jesus would do! He himself was a refugee! How can you call yourself a Christian and not believe in letting anybody and everybody in? That's what Jesus would do!

Now we know that people who think and talk like this are wrong. When Jesus came to earth, he did not come as a refugee. He came as the rightful king, intent on reclaiming what had been stolen from him by the prince of darkness. When his parents took him to Egypt as a child, they didn't go as refugees but as exiles who returned to their homeland as soon as they could. When his parents took him to Bethlehem, they didn't go as refugees, they went as hard-working taxpayers doing their civic duty.
