When God says something twice, it would seem to behoove us to take heed. The other day I was reading Exodus, and on facing pages it said "do not oppress the alien in your midst."
But what does this mean in real life? To me, the obvious application is to immigration. While we shouldn't encourage law-breaking, to join in the oppression of foreigners, even illegal immigrants, seems rather wrong.
But what about other places? What about socially? It is often the nature of a group to attack and tear down newcomers. However, we are called to something higher.
