DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals): What will become of these young people?

Video by The Atlantic, Feb 3, 2017

On September 29 we will discuss the plight of DACA recipients in light of what Ancient Israel’s legal tradition had to say about treatment of foreigners within Israel’s borders. Should those same principles apply now? What would be different if they did?

Two texts will frame our discussion, both from the book of Leviticus: 19:33-34 and 24:22.
