Here's a link to a short but excellent article from the Mennonite Central Committee.
Courage is knowing what not to fear
Below is an excerpt from the article that should give us all a reason to think beyond the politics surrounding the issues along the southern border.

It is a humanitarian situation calling for a compassionate response. It is a chance to respond in ways that ask not, “what are they going to take from us,” but, instead, “what can we do to ease their burden?”
