Why are many American Christians so opposed to immigration? That's directly in violation of their religion. [Spirituality & Religion]

The bible contradicts itself in a lot of ways on a lot of subjects, but it is very consistent on the subject of immigration. The bible is extremely pro-immigration. There is an abundance of bible verses about "treating the sojourner as your friend or neighbor" and "inviting them to your feasts."

Because Christianity, unlike Islam, does not have a legal system, it is not a theocracy. Many issues can be independent of their religion, and in certain circumstances, a christian, or any other religious person, may seemingly have to go against their religion. I suppose Jesus told us to invite neighbours to your feasts on the assumptions that you won't get raped afterwards. Over here in Europe, many people offering aid to migrants have been raped and killed by them.

Also, they see it as a tool for globalisation, which many believe is the one world government of the beast.

@PissAndVinegar Did I say the word Muslim? I'm saying that sometimes values have to be compromised for self preservation. And I think this issue is particularly touchy with christianity because Christian eschatology speaks of a one world government run by satan. And they see the immigration crisis as their tool of breaking down borders for this one world government.

@PissAndVinegar Again, where did I say "muslim"? And I don't really care for word games, I care about facts and a civil conversation. Didn't you read the rest of my post. Christian eschatology speaks of a one world government controlled by the beast, and they see open borders as a pretext to this happening. <- that is the point I'm making.

@PissAndVinegar I know I said Islam, I've said several times that I didn't say "Muslim". How the hell is christian belief not related to a post about christian belief?

@PissAndVinegar I come from a christian family, I have read the bible and eschatology is one of the biggest parts of the bible, it is the entirety of the book of revelations and explains many christians opposition to immigration.
