Human Migration

Affirmation of the right to migrate, and support for migrating people, is one of the oldest faith-rooted policy positions. Abrahamic scriptures include stories of individual and community migration. The scriptural message is clear that we are not merely to welcome the sojourner, but to see ourselves in their face. Migration policy in the U.S. is primarily a national policy issue, but Texas plays a unique role because of our international border.
