Was Jesus an Illegal Immigrant?
Episode 371
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025

As we embrace Christmas we have to put up once again with the Grinches who cannot let people just celebrate the season and enjoy traditions. Because everything has to be about politics--and only the progressive form--we have to hear about Jesus being a refugee and even an "undocumented immigrant."They'll tell you that the most important part of the Christmas story was when Mary and Joseph had to escape to Egypt. The young Jesus was a stranger in a foreign land. So, if you believe in an immigration policy that actually vets out foreign criminals and requires assimilation, well, you would be guilty of letting the Savior Himself die from persecution!In this episode we will see what the Bible says about the flight to Egypt and its purpose, what history shows about Egypt as a Roman province, what progressive politicians have said about their desires for cheap foreign labor, and what the Bible says about immigration policy.Sources Cited:Merriam-Webster Online s.v.
