Today on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we charge straight into the fire—illegal immigration. Not for the faint of heart. Not for the culture of comfort. But for bold believers who refuse to be silent.

This isn’t about politics. This is about biblical mandate. About seeing every immigrant as a soul made in the image of God—and refusing to let lawlessness or elitism define our response. We call out garbage, we expose hypocrisy; we stare down dehumanizing language and spineless silence.

The world will mock. The critics will howl. But Jesus is still King, and His Word still draws the line between truth and compromise.

Will you shrink back—or stand up? What will you do when your faith collides with the cultural firestorm?

Buckle up. This one’s raw, real, and rooted in the everlasting Word.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. (Romans 13:1-2)

Key Takeaways:

05:42 - When you say that immigrants exist to, quote, wash dishes or pick fruit. You're not praising their work ethic. Instead, you're degrading their humanity. You're telling an entire class of people, you basically exist to serve me. It's the same evil spirit that drove slavery. It's the same elitist mindset that says, I'm better than you, and your value is in what you do for me and people like me. That's not love. That is not advocacy. That's dehumanization. And it's sinful and unbiblical.

07:26 – Whether these folks cross the river legally or illegally, their life has value. Their story matters. But that doesn’t mean that their actions are right. And believe me, we’re going to get to that coming up here later in the podcast. But for now, I just want to say this: If we as Christians cannot look at an immigrant and say, That’s a man or woman created by God with purpose, with value, and with dignity, then, man—we’ve lost the gospel. We’ve replaced it with nationalism, not Christianity.

31:18 – The immigrant’s worth is not based on how well they can scrub a toilet. Their value is not measured by how fast they can pick a strawberry. Their identity is not rooted in your convenience. Their value is rooted in the image of God. Period. James 3:9 rebukes those who curse human beings who have been made in God’s likeness. That includes when you curse them with low expectations, when you curse them with degrading language or curse them with exploitative policies. So what should Christians do in the face of this? We should speak out. Which is exactly what we’re doing on this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast.
