can you be both for protecting the borders and then show chessed and hire those who are here and do honest work?
2 arguments for locking the borders:
1) the country wants a say in who we are letting in – more professionals/less criminals
2) we want less immigrants in general
1st argument does not contradict hiring those who came thru – you are essentially doing the vetting. You are not supporting criminals and those who do not want to work, you presumably find nice people that you let into your house.
