"This case reminds us all of the need to address immigration reform. As we have stated, we believe any solution should include the following three principles: the commandment to 'love thy neighbor,' the importance of keeping families intact and the federal government’s obligation to secure its border." LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter.
I have struggled with what I have considered the LDS Church's leniency on their immigration "points" but I think this statement sums up an ideal outcome.
Obviously, this is where I think a LOT of us struggle. Is our compassion saying "love thy neighbor," and wanting families to be together; Warring with our need to protect our own interests which these immigrants don't seem to care too much about. And it turns some VERY compassionate people into mean, un empathetic people.
It's better to shoot for the stars and miss than to aim for the ground and score a bullseye. I am passionate about what I believe in, and think I can make a difference in this world. I may never be President, but if I never try, how will I know. I have a lot to say. You can see more on Loving My Life, My Passion, or I am Mommy
