John Lamb has written a very powerful post about why he is supporting Barack Obama:

Few urge us to see immigrants as people first - as neighbors, fellow churchmembers, and fellow residents of this great country. It can be risky for a politician to widen instead of narrow the definition of “neighbor,” which was Jesus’ charge in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

From what I have read of Obama, he has adopted the high ground and has not wavered.

Over time, Barack Obama has confirmed this impression I have. In his stirring remarks at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s church in Atlanta earlier this month, he called America to see all immigrants not as enemies but as “companions in the fight for opportunity”

Martin Luther King, Jr., in his acceptance speech for the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, called for “an all-embracing and unconditional love for all men.” That kind of love is the value that will inform my vote on Tuesday, and it is why I support Barack Obama.
