In his blog post Russell Moore tackles the crisis taking place on America's southern border. Moore writes, "America's southern border is engulfed in a humanitarian crisis, as refugees fleeing violence in central America, many of them unaccompanied children, seek safety." Moore admits that it's a complex issue because border security is a legitimate need. But Moore also argues, "The problem is more akin to the situations we've seen on the African continent, with warlords dealing in human trafficking. These children and families are fleeing a drug war exploding in violence all around them. Moreover, it's the incoherence of the immigration system that fuels the problem, thus empowering the cartels and the traffickers. Immigration reform isn't about making immigration easier. It's about making the system coherent, so that we know who is here lawfully, and who isn't."

Moore than reminds us of Jesus Good Samaritan story and concludes, "The gospel doesn't fill in for us on the details on how we can simultaneously balance border security and respect for human life in this case. But the gospel does tell us that our instinct ought to be one of compassion toward those in need, not disgust or anger."
