re: Immigration and Christianity

The problem is that the left creates a problem (not without the right's help, TBH), and then uses the problem to avoid any chance at a solution. For example, not fixing the border or establishing a real way to sort regular immigrants from genuine refugees, and then lashing out at the right for chaos when border facilities are overcrowded and conditions are poor. As a Christian, I don't really object to some deportations. I'm not a "send them all back" person, but I'm definitely a "limit the flow and deport those who don't play by the generous set of rules we set" person. I want the US to be a destination for those who want a better and more peaceful life, but unlimited flow of immigrants, some of whom may not want the things that provide that atmosphere, is counterproductive. I have no semblance of "this country belongs to white Christians" but I do believe that the west in general can't help the world if it shoots itself by disowning the culture that made it the world's brightest beacon.
