Part 6: Conclusion & Recommendations
No Single Proof-Text: There is no single chapter or verse that can be pulled out to instantly solve modern U.S. immigration policy.
The U.S. is Not Ancient Israel: The United States is not a modern theocracy and cannot execute a simple "plug-and-play" of Old Covenant structural law.
Integration is the Biblical Model: For long-term residents, active integration into the culture is the primary biblical paradigm.
The Priority of Love: Humane directives rooted in the Greatest Commandment must supersede self-interest or maximizing the "American Dream".
Integration is the goal and challenge: Unlike ancient Israel, which had a singular system under the Torah, defining baseline American culture and navigating immigration paths is vastly more complex.
Caring for Others: Christians are called to mimic God's heart by advocating for the oppressed, the refugee, and those fleeing horrific conditions.
Keep Families Together: Policies and practices should intentionally seek to preserve the foundational, God-given institution of the family.
