More than 200 evangelical leaders urge presidential candidates to reflect “biblical principles on immigration.

The letter signals particular discomfort with the approach taken by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance , to the issue.

Signers include moderates as well as influential conservatives.

The letter comes less than two days after Vance offered a theological defense of Trump ’s border policies.

Vance , a Catholic , suggested his hardline position on immigration is rooted in the “ Christian idea that you owe the strongest duty to your family,” he said.
