Our allies at Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform just released a troubling, instructive report on the moral crisis of immigration in America.

Most interesting is the report's assessment of the public debate:

It is clear that the anti-immigrant effort is very successful at several of its most critical goals: moving public opinion, generating activism, effecting public policy, and hiding its origins. But the speech that they incite is disturbingly reminiscent of a part of America’s past we thought we had moved beyond. All of us, Christians and non-Christians alike, must stand up and reclaim our national dialogue. If the media will not make everyone aware of how extreme our national conversation has become, then we have the obligation to stand in the gap and do it for them.

It's worth reading in its entirety.
