“You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt,” Exodus 23:9.

“The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God,” Leviticus 19:34.

“What do the nations cry when they are reaching out to me? What is the sound of the thousands who are escaping from their homeland?

You who live in luxury and ease; have you traveled long miles looking for food and shelter? You, who live in your comfortable homes, how well would you fare when faced with the dangers on every side? Would you continue on, carrying your children through mud and rain? Would you continue on your march as guns and barbed wire marked your way?

You, oh land that has known of plenty and ease; in time much will be taken from you. You complain about things that pale in comparison that many would reach for in their lives. If you traveled long hours, in search for just food and water, would you still complain about your luxuries?

But on that day when you do lose your freedoms, will you then look back and remember what you once had?”
