(It is being erroneously circulated that those who do not want to open the borders of our country to numberless and undocumented Muslims, coming from areas that are teeming with terrorists, are without compassion. I simply point out that the leaders of a nation are responsible, in the eyes of God, for the well being of the citizens of that nation).
Remember, it is not immoral for government leaders to protect their people from evil men.
In fact, it is immoral for government leaders to not protect their people from wicked people.
Romans 13:3-4
(3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
(4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
1 Peter 2:13-14
(13) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
(14) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
But remember also, governments and government leaders are obligated to submit to the laws of God. God is the Lawmaker, and Judge and King. When anyone, including the State resists the law and order of God, that person or those people are anarchists and answerable to God.
Romans 13:1-2
(1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
(2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Isaiah 33:22
(22) For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
