Immigration Reform 'Really Close,' Says Southern Baptist Leader

A leader in the largest Protestant denomination in the United States has stated at a conservative event Tuesday that drew over 600 leaders to lobby for immigration reform that their effort is "really close" to coming to fruition.
Dr. Barrett Duke, vice president for Public Policy and Research at the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, told The Christian Post at the event titled "Americans for Reform: Immigration Reform for our Economy, Faith and Security". . . .that the SBC had come to increasingly support immigration reform.
"We have had a denominational conversation where we have consulted the Scriptures, we've looked at our own congregations and we've recognized that we know a lot of these folks that we're talking about," said Duke.
"The result is that through our own personal spiritual reflection and our relationship building, we've developed a more balanced understanding of the need for immigration reform.

SBC leadership is "calling on the congregations to read scripture, to understand what the Bible says about" immigration and treatment of immigrants.

"It is not pressuring our congregations one way or another, it's simply calling on them to search their own hearts, their own conscience," said Duke.

We don't need reform we simply need to enforce the existing law. Then we need to reform the welfare system so those able bodied people on welfare would do the work that immigrants do!
