LDS Authority got it right on immigration

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

I met Elder Jensen a couple of times.

He seems to be a very good man.

His church seems to be on the side of immigrants.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) takes a compassionate yet law-abiding stance on immigration, including undocumented immigrants. Here's how their position unfolds:

Guiding Principles

The Church emphasizes three core values:

• Obedience to the law: Members are encouraged to follow the laws of the land, including immigration laws.
• Love for all God's children: Regardless of legal status, the Church teaches that everyone deserves compassion and dignity.
• Family unity: The Church strongly opposes policies that separate families and advocates for keeping them together.

Practical Guidelines

• Local leaders are advised to consult Church legal counsel to ensure compliance with federal laws, especially those concerning harboring or assisting undocumented individuals.
• The Church does not sponsor immigration through employment or missionary service.
• Members who immigrate are expected to obey all applicable laws in their new country.

Humanitarian Outreach

• The Church provides basic aid—such as food and clothing—to those in need, regardless of immigration status.
• In some areas, welcome centers offer legal services, language classes, and support for immigrants seeking citizenship.
• • In 2018, the Church publicly supported protections for Dreamers, urging Congress to provide hope and opportunity for undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children.
  
  Public Statements
  
  • The Church has consistently called for balanced and humane immigration reform, discouraging mass deportations and emphasizing moral responsibility.
  • It supported the Utah Compact, a set of principles promoting respect for law enforcement, economic contributions of immigrants, and family preservation.

Some LDS who are MAGA disagree. They don't know American history and are not follows of Jesus.

The LSD church in my AO votes dem due to immigration.

Odd folks for dem voters, armed to the teeth with lots of Class III toys and have a kickass range right on their church site.

It's just one of many opinions.

 

[Donald H]

When Trump's fascist regime is finally eliminated there will be open borders and a mad rush to replenish the immigrants needed to keep America viable as a country.

And these dumb ckskrs think they can compete with China??

Trump must be having his whore stick pins in his ass every night at bedtime, to tune him up for the next day.

The longer the US suffers Trump, the more it will deserve the batshit crazy he deals out!

Of far more weight than yours.

 

[Rogue AI]

So liberals abandoned the separation of church and state argument? Interesting.

So liberals abandoned the separation of church and state argument? Interesting.

Mormon has always dominated government when they could right from Kirtland to Salt Lake City.

They believed in oppressing their enemies instead of being subservient to those they believed less than them.

That makes them conservative as all get out.

But they are kind to the less fortunate.

Your are uninformed if not ignorant.

 

[Mac1958]

His church seems to be on the side of immigrants.

MAGA sold out their religion in 2016.

Poof. Gone.

Political wins, revenge and cruelty take precedence now.

None of that addresses my comment. Try again.

The LDS are conservative, yes, by the MAGA are a very small if very vocal group of whiners among them, yes.

Yep, LDS sure loves those kids, way too much. A $3 million case in 2020, $250 million to the Boy Scouts in 2022. Not to mention all the jail time throughout the years.

Sounds like all religions, fraternal orders, sports orgs, etc.

Predators hunt where the prey lives and plays.

We get it, you’ll want to take power and open our borders so you can exploit illegals for cheap labor

You demklan tyrants want to abuse humans. We get it

It's funny how we bash religion, yet seek its approval to do the evils of this world.

Good insight! I think that it might be part of the nature of human kind.
