Immigrants: A Blessing Not A Burden -- CRC Office of Social Justice

Scripture teaches this truth: immigrants are a blessing, not a burden.  We feel called to change the conversation.

Nearly 50% of White Evangelicals believe that immigrants are a drain on the U.S. economy.

We have seen the richness that immigrants have brought -- not just economic, but cultural.

So far the 2016 presidential campaign has been the most anti-immigrant in its rhetoric since the 1850s.

We believe that America is a nation of immigrants and that immigrants deserve respect.
