One of President Donald Trump s top evangelical advisers is arguing that God and government shouldnt mix at least when it comes to immigration.

Robert Jeffress is a Southern Baptist pastor and leader of the megachurch First Baptist Dallas. On Wednesday, he appeared on Fox & Friends to discuss how evangelical Christians should approach the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program , an Obama-era effort that temporarily grants deportation protection to some 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.

While Christian compassion is important, its not the only factor at play here, according to Jeffress.

The Bible also says that God is the one who established nations and its borders, Jeffress said in a conversation with host Ainsley Earhardt. God is not necessarily an open borders guy, as a lot of people would think that he is.
