Reddit Lies Both takes are half right and half nonsense. Jesus was not undocumented or illegal in his birthplace. He was born in Bethlehem, the same town as Joseph, which fits Jewish custom and the census narrative whether you take it literally or symbolically. In that context, he was as “legal” as anyone gets in the ancient world. But he also did flee to Egypt as a child and lived there for a stretch before returning. By any modern definition, that is immigration. Temporary exile, asylum, pick your label, but it happened. So no, he was not some shadowy criminal sneaking across borders. And no, he was not a static figure who never crossed one. History is messier than slogans, and Twitter theology is not a substitute for reading the source material.
