IMMIGRATION, INTEGRATION, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY: MAKING THE CASE FOR A HISPANIC EVANGELICAL CONTRIBUTION

The Latino evangelical church ought to be a major contributor in shaping national opinion on the issues of immigration and integration in the US. The church plays two essential roles, one pastoral and the other prophetic. The two dominant narratives regarding immigration focus on values, principles, and the oughtness of our national identity. Therefore, citizen faith leaders have a critical stake in the conversation; they should counter the dominant narrative that fosters anxiety about immigrants and assumes they pose a threat to personal security and the economy. Faith leaders should promote an integration policy that allows an earned path to citizenship.
