A Bible passage is at the center of a debate over how the U.S. should treat immigrants

There is a big talk in the U.S. It is about how the country treats new people, called immigrants. This talk is about a part of the Bible. The Bible part is from Matthew 25. It says to help people who need it, like strangers.

Many church leaders think this Bible part means to welcome immigrants. These leaders include pastors from different churches and also the Pope. They say helping immigrants is a very important part of their faith. They believe people should be kind to everyone, especially those who come from other places and need help.

But some politicians have different ideas. They are often evangelical, which means they follow a type of Christian faith. These politicians support President Trump's rules about immigrants. These rules are very strict. So, there is a big debate between these church leaders and these politicians. They have different ideas about what the Bible means for government policies.
