Question
Hello, is there a prohibition against encouraging non-Jews to immigrate to Israel?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
It is possible that those who do so are violating the prohibitions of 'they shall not dwell in your land' and 'do not show them favor'.
Source
Maimonides, Chapter 10, Laws of Idolatry, Halacha 6.
And even though he wrote there that it is only when the hand of Israel is strong over the nations, it seems that this refers to removing non-Jews from Israel, which is only when the hand of Israel is strong, but it is still our duty to do what we can to prevent non-Jews from settling in Israel, for how can this prohibition be uprooted.
