Evangelicals one of only Christian groups divided over immigration

Interesting. Immigration is proving to be a wedge issue not just with Republicans, but also with evangelicals.

From the Wall Street Journal:

The majority of influential Christian conservatives have either delayed taking a stand, such as the National Association of Evangelicals, or have no position, such as the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Black Evangelical Association, James Dobson's Focus on the Family and Concerned Women for America.
That's because the lead "evangelical" groups are partisan Republican operatives and not simply Christians. They're not responding to the Bible, they're responding to the current state of the Republican party, chaos. Thus they don't want to take a position that offends the White House and Congress, so they take no position at all, rather than worrying about what might offend Jesus.
