He realizes the risks, as entering America without documentation is illegal and dangerous. But to this father, immigration restrictions pale in comparison to the survival of his offspring. So he crosses the border, hoping to send home wages that will sufficiently feed his family. Would Jesus condemn such a man, and report him to the authorities?
