One of the more salient points made by more than a few commentators is the racial makeup of the GOP […]Continue Reading →
I started working in Washington, DC, 6 years ago, and I was tasked with the job of not only bringing World Relief’s position in support of comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) to members of Congress but also educating the wider evangelical community on why immigration reform was needed in the first place.
