This article, although slanted to the left by the L.A. Times, does bring up an interesting point here in the South:

As Southerners, we are taught to be gracious, kind and welcoming to the "stranger".

That's why "Southern Hospitality" is so famous.

I am a Christian who is against illegal immigration and want our laws enforced and our sovereignty protected now! But, what I see with a lot of people, who are leaders in our faith, is silence. Now, I don't agree with their silence at all. I think part of the reason they are silent is the conflict (or so they misatkenly believe) between helping the "stranger" and doing what is right for their family and country. They are scared to have Jesus "thrown" in their faces and called racists and bigots. What they forget is, there is such a thing as righteous anger (Jesus' anger that the temple had been turned into a corrupt market place of gambling and such).

I have seen fellow Christians "cringe" when this subject is brought up. They simply don't want to touch it. And, in the mean time, we watch the destruction of our culture.
