LONGWOOD, FL-For Christians, the issues of illegal immigration and border security pose a crisis of conscience. How can we follow the Golden Rule while enforcing laws and policies that address the concerns of national security in a post-9/11 world? The Borders of Faith-Illegal Immigration, Illegitimate Citizenship, and Border Security (paperback, 978-1-60266-382-4; hardcover, 978-1-60266-383-1) examines the intersection of Christianity and illegal immigration, illegitimate citizenship, and border security.
Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Americans have struggled to find a balance between national security and civil rights-preserving individual freedoms while allowing the government to take the necessary steps to keep America safe. In this authoritative new book, practicing immigration attorney Marc M. Harrold takes a look at this pressing and divisive issue. "I seek to examine this crisis in new ways to find solutions that are humane and Christ-reflective but that also address realistic concerns involving national security, cultural preservation, and adherence to the rule of law," states Harrold. "As a Christian attorney, law professor, civil rights advocate and former police officer, I invite readers to examine the many facets of this issue and craft their own borders of faith."
