The gospel doesn't suggest a national policy, Christ had little interest in the affairs of state. Any national policy derived from the Gospel or Christian theology at large, would largely be open to interpretation.
Not necessarily related to the refugee argument (which I largely agree with you on), but I think it's definitely possible to create a more Christian-centered state at least morally speaking.
I'd say it depends on the style of Government for starters. But then I find there's sort of that infinitely regressing question of "which Christianity?" I mean take the issue of SSM for instance: you have Christian denominations on both sides of this argument.
This is why I'm personally a supporter of the secular liberal Democracy. Religion can have influence on the state but ultimately the individual has the ultimate right to live how they please. In theory anyway.
