You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Christians we're supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves. But we can't stop wondering if we showed welcome to the world, would it change \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e culture? Would it make \u003cem\u003eus\u003c\/em\u003e less safe?
