“yidden should be on the forefront of working towards some realistic framework for providing asylum to those arrriving at our borders fleeing violence at home.”
Yidden should be on the forefront of securing those spots for YIDDEN. You have a confused approach to the world. An interest in the safety of yidden does not make a kal v’chomer that we have to be interested in everyone’s well-being equally. It is not in our interests as a people to let boarder hoppers get away with it and refuse to enforce the law of the land.
You’re sounding like a classic Conservative/Reform pulpit rabbi who throws out catchy buzz words like “tikkun olam” as a blanket defense of senseless, bleeding-heart leftist policy which serves no productive purpose to us.
