In a post-9/11 world, immigrants have all of a sudden gone from being hard working and entrepreneurial members of society with strong family values to being security risks and the source of a wide range of economic, social, and cultural problems. Yet the Bible and other sacred texts admonish us to welcome the strangers among you, and our own UU principles call on us to recognize the inherent dignity of all human beings and the interdependent web of life. What should we as UUs, together with other people of conscience, be doing to promote more humane, coherent, and rational immigration policies?
