'The majority of evangelicals are very clear on saying ‘we want to keep families together.''
An Evangelical coalition has released an e-book criticizing the nation's immigration policy, calling for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and encouraging Christians to adopt a"biblical view."
Soerens emphasized that the evangelical community both wanted"secure borders" and did not support separating parents and children. A 2015 poll from LifeWay research found that 68 percent of evangelicals supported increasing border security and providing a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who pay a fine, pass a criminal background check and complete undefined"other requirements.
The e-book notes various stories of forced migration included in the Bible. It calls for reform of immigration law, saying"the best way forward—both to respect the law and to keep families together—is to have an earned legalization process, which includes the payment of a monetary fine as restitution for adults who willfully violated U.S. immigration laws."
