There’s a narrative floating around today that sounds spiritual, feels compassionate, and smells like deception. You’ve probably heard it:
“Jesus wouldn’t deport anyone.”
“It’s unchristian to enforce immigration laws.”
“If you really followed Jesus, you’d tear down borders, not defend them.”

Let’s be clear: that’s not gospel—that’s propaganda.

God is not the author of lawlessness. He is the God of order, justice, timing, inheritance, and boundaries. And from Genesis to Revelation, He makes it clear—He’s the one who created nations, fixed their borders, and holds people accountable for violating them.

You don’t need cable news to tell you how to feel.
You need the Word of God to show you what’s right.

God Set the Borders—Not Man

Let’s go straight to scripture:
“When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people…” — Deuteronomy 32:8

“He made from one blood all nations of men… and determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.” — Acts 17:26

God didn’t just make people. He made places. He assigned land. He determined timing. He drew borders.

The moment you erase those boundaries in the name of love, you’re not showing compassion—you’re violating God’s structure.

God Doesn’t Reward Trespassing

In Numbers 20, Moses respectfully asked Edom for permission to pass through their territory:
“Let us pass through… we will not touch fields, wells, or vineyards…”

When Edom refused, Israel turned back. They didn’t storm the gate. They honored the border.

Even the covenant people respected national sovereignty. Why? Because God does.

Heaven Has a Wall and a Gate

Progressive theology often cites, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” as a basis for borderless immigration. But that scripture refers to personal compassion, not national policy.

Revelation 21 tells us:
“It had a great and high wall… twelve gates… nothing unclean will enter it.”

Heaven has a wall. Heaven has names on gates. Heaven has standards for entry.

Jesus said “I am the Door,” not “I’m okay with anyone climbing in any way they want.”

Would God Deport an Illegal? Yes—and He Will.

Jesus said:
“Depart from Me, I never knew you.” — Matthew 7:23

That’s not a hug. That’s a legal ruling.

He didn’t apologize. He didn’t negotiate. He deported the lawbreaker.

If Jesus enforces the rules at Heaven’s gate, it’s not unchristian for a nation to do the same at its borders.

ICE and the Ministry of Government

Romans 13 says:
“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil… he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.”

ICE is an extension of civil government. When they enforce lawful deportation, they are operating under the biblical role of authority.

It’s no different than calling the police when someone breaks into your house.
Nations have the right—and the responsibility—to defend their borders.

Compassion Without Boundaries Is Destruction

Jesus never removed the standard. He offered grace, but He also said:
“Go and sin no more.”

Love does not cancel law. It fulfills it within the framework of truth and righteousness.

You don’t prove compassion by ignoring law. You prove it by providing a right path—and protecting the gate.

God’s Final Word on Illegal Entry

Jesus said in John 10:1:
“He who does not enter by the door… but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

That’s not undocumented. That’s unauthorized. And the Judge of all the earth doesn’t smile at it—He calls it theft.

The Church Must Stop Apologizing for Order

To every pastor, leader, and believer:
– You are not hateful for defending national integrity.
– You are not unchristian for supporting deportation of those who violate the law.
– You are not lacking love when you uphold truth.

You are aligned with the character of God.

Final Word

Would Jesus deport someone who broke the law, rejected His authority, and demanded entry without repentance?

Yes. And He will.

Because He is not just a Savior—He is a Judge. A King. And a Gatekeeper.

The question isn’t “What would Jesus do?”
The question is: “What has Jesus already said?”

Share this. Preach this. Don’t back down. This isn’t politics—it’s scripture.
And truth, when declared boldly, still sets people free.
