“Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn.”
I am sick of people talking about The Bible when they have no clue what they are talking about.
They were not migrants. They needed to report back to Bethlehem because there was a census.
Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to participate in a census ordered by Caesar Augustus, which required them to register in Joseph's ancestral home since he was a descendant of King David. This journey was significant as it fulfilled the prophecy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.
The journey was the equivalent of Cleveland to Columbus in the state of Ohio. They went from a northern Judean territory to a central Judean territory. No national borders were crossed.
