Here is what a friend of mine said...
"Jesus must have a lot of patience or else He must cry a lot. He said that how we treat the "least" is how we treat him. We in the US are always saying how Christian we are. Doesn't Christian imply an attempt to follow the teachings of Christ? So, we have these kids who are living in such danger from gang related warfare that their parents allow them to undertake a dangerous journey of 1000 miles on foot just to get to a possibly safer US. And, we have moms who undertake the same journey with sick kids to try and get them decent medical care. They make it to us and we treat them like dogs. And, we use as one of the most heard reasons they may be dangerous. I remember a story of Abraham who was out in the middle of nowhere in a tent when three strangers showed up. They could have been anything from thieves to murderers but Abraham used the Middle Eastern tradition of taking in strangers and they happened to be angels. Wonder how many angels we have turned away because we feared they were bad guys or because we "couldn't afford" to assist them. The only Christians in this whole mess are those few folks who are facing the angry mobs near the border and insisting that we treat the "least" like they were Jesus himself."
How would y'all reply?
