If Helping Them Falls into the Box of Doing That Which is Good . . .

   I'm not a fan of the wall and the policies that come with it. Judge a matter by the good or damage it does to that which is good. I think of these people -- needy and homeless, sitting and waiting for help on the border of the U.S. and Mexico. Are they not the poor among us? Or, do we say they are someone else's poor and therefore not our concern, not our responsibility? Are we not taught to help the poor? Is this not a Christian principle and even a commandment? Does not helping them fall into the box of doing that which is good?
   Judge our policies at the border, then. Judge them against doing that which is good.
