I was just this week reading back through the chapter on immigration in Darrel Bock’s 2016 book “How Would Jesus Vote?” On page 83, he writes:
Deuteronomy 10:19 says the same kind of thing, using the refrain “for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.” This empathy was meant to drive how the Israelites saw and treated those from the outside.
God commanded His chosen people, the nation that bore His name, to treat others based on what they knew about how it felt to be in that situation.
Utter incoherence.

People who thought the right would never overcorrect have their heads in the sand.
