Description

Kinship Across Borders: A Christian Ethic of Immigration by Kristin E. Heyer explores the complexities of US immigration policy through a Christian lens. The author argues that current policies reflect harmful neoliberal economic priorities, neglecting the human person and global solidarity. Instead, she proposes a Christian immigration ethic grounded in scriptural, anthropological, and social teachings. This approach calls for concrete practices and policies promoting justice and solidarity. By examining the intersections of economics, trade, cultural tolerance, and criminal justice, Heyer develops a nuanced understanding of immigration that prioritizes human dignity. Her work offers a fresh perspective on the need for a more compassionate and just approach to immigration policy.
