Immigration policy is something which has troubled American citizens for some time.  The divide is deep and wide between opposing viewpoints.  Presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s solution to the problem, however, even threw those who want stiffer laws off balance.  What is his solution?  Build a wall between the two countries and make Mexico pay for it.  We may wonder if this was the mentality of the Chinese when the Great Wall of China was constructed.

Announcing his candidacy on June 16, 2015 he said, “I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively.  I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.  And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.”

This news item raises questions regarding many different issues.  The aim of our discussion, however, will center on the importance of borders.  The Bible has a lot to say about the necessity of having borders.  We will look at a number of passages of scripture and consider why borders are so important to us, not just nationally, but philosophically, morally, and spiritually.
