Wow. This is an excellent question.
Kudos to the guy who said that Jesus was a carpenter and would help build the wall! I don't agree, but that is pretty darned funny!
From my point-of-view, it is clear what Jesus would do. He would embrace the immigrants and aid them in settling wherever they wanted to. Jesus' golden rule is to love God, and to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. He even uses a very relevant parable to make his case: the parable of the good Samaritan. Jesus also emphasized helping the poor, and most of the immigrants coming to American are doing so because of poverty. Like the immigrants from whom most of us are descendents, they are looking for a better life. Jesus would want us to help them.

Jesus was big on obeying the law. He told the people to give Caesar the taxes that were rightfully the property of Rome. I can only guess, but I'd say he'd tell Mexicans to stay in Mexico until they can legally cross the border.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's ..
Jesus's sole purpose was the soul and not the body. Temporal things were not of his concern.
Liberation theologians bastardized the Gospels from the 1940s to the present and still do.
Build the wall, convict and deport all 11 million.

If I were to venture a guess he might go to all other countries where illegal aliens come from and he would give them some food and teach them about being good people. One of the things he would remind people of is God commandments, including the one below:
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
It seems illegal aliens covet just about everything we (their neighbors) have and if you want to be a good Christian you should stop aiding and abetting them and send them charitable contributions instead.

Jesus is cool. He's a radical and wouldn't mind shocking today's "pharisees" (judgemental conservatives jerks)
If he were born in the 60s no doubt he would have been a hippie.
I think he's the type who does not believe in borders. Just my two cents...

i think he would find a way to be loving, but also respectful of the laws. so...i guess he would call for immigration reform. he would want people to follow the law, but he would ask that the law be more...efficient, and workable.

If I am not mistaken Jesus said let man handle the laws of man.

Since Jesus is the only way he would side with deportation and zero amnesty since it is what the general consensus wants
