The National Association of Evangelicals has joined other evangelical organizations including the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and National Association of Evangelicals members National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, National Latino Evangelical Coalition and World Relief to form the Evangelical Immigration Table.[1]
Member Organizations
The Evangelical Immigration Table is led by and composed of the following member organizations:[2]
- Council for Christian Colleges & Universities
- Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC)
- Korean Churches for Community Development
- National Association of Evangelicals
- National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference
- The Wesleyan Church
- World Relief
- World Vision
Letter Promoting Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants
An open letter promoting citizenship for illegal immigrants was posted on the Evangelical Immigration Table website:[3]
- "Our national immigration laws have created a moral, economic and political crisis in America. Initiatives to remedy this crisis have led to polarization and name calling in which opponents have misrepresented each other’s positions as open borders and amnesty versus deportations of millions. This false choice has led to an unacceptable political stalemate at the federal level at a tragic human cost. We urge our nation’s leaders to work together with the American people to pass immigration reform that embodies these key principles and that will make our nation proud. As evangelical Christian leaders, we call for a bipartisan solution on immigration that:
- "Respects the God-given dignity of every person
- "Protects the unity of the immediate family
- "Respects the rule of law
- "Guarantees secure national borders
- "Ensures fairness to taxpayers
- "Establishes a path toward legal status and/or citizenship for those who qualify and who wish to become permanent residents
