to avoid being killing by Herod.

True Christians, and pastors, ministers, imams, rabbis and priests know that right wing christians and racists are fighting to turn away foreign refugees and asylum seekers, all while worshipping Jesus, who was once a foreign refugee. They also know that
a) Joseph and Mary most certainly did not "respect the governing authorities," and
b) Jesus of the Bible spent his formative years as an undocumented kid.

Jesus, as a fervent Jew, later summed up of two thousand years of law and scripture in his Two Great Commandments:
1. Love God.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Right wing christians ask "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answers: EVERYONE.
America's Christian clergy know this.
