The Book of Mormon continues to provide incisive guidance for how we should act in our day. Consider this from the Book of Alma about how a gospel-centered people treat refugees who have been driven out of their home land by wicked people who are threatening the good people who are taking them in and protecting them. See Alma 35: 8 “Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon who were in Jershon, and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them that they should cast out of their land all those who came over from them into their land.

9 And he breathed out many threatenings against them. And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words; therefore they did not cast them out, but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them; and they did nourish them, and did clothe them, and did give unto them lands for their inheritance; and they did administer unto them according to their wants.”

  That’s how it should be done!
