Congress should
- ignore the voices of xenophobia
- not stand in the way of hospitality toward "strangers"
- not tax Peter to be hospitable toward Paul
"Xenophobia" is a dislike of people from other countries.
Xenophobia is an irrational, deep-rooted fear of or antipathy towards foreigners. It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning "stranger," "foreigner" and φόβος (phobos),
meaning "fear."
Xenophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Xenophobia" is a sin. The Bible commands "hospitality" [φιλόξένος], literally, "the love of strangers" or "friend of strangers" [φιλος
+ ξένος].
- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

The People of Israel were treated like "illegal aliens" in Egypt, so God expects Christians to treat aliens with grace. See more here.

America not only prevents immigrants from coming here, but goes abroad destroying the lives of tens of millions of innocent, non-combatant non-white civilians. Once a Christian nation characterized by hospitality,
the United States is now an atheistic empire, the enemy of God and humanity.
