The example of Egypt

Egypt did not deport the immigrant family of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Before the Exodus, Egypt oppressed the Hebrew people, but when the Holy Family was in mortal danger, Egypt provided a refuge. Today, millions of undocumented immigrants are at risk in America. I hope that fearful immigrants among us realize Jesus was also an immigrant. I also hope that we who are secure will emulate the first-   century hospitality of Egypt and publicly call out our government officials who demean and threaten immigrants.
