I wonder how many generations does one have to create before one’s descendants are not considered “poisoning the blood” of America?

There are even bumper stickers that say, “Heaven Has A Wall and Strict Immigration Policy / Hell Has Open Borders.”
That’s odd, because Jesus himself referred to “the gates of Hell” (Matthew 16:18). Maybe they’re working with a different translation?

Those who claim they are Christ followers for some reason forget the 2nd Commandment; love your neighbor as your self (Mathew 22:39). There is no footnote that lists any exclusions on who your neighbor is. You have to read the whole Bible, not your preferred verse. God is bigger then one verse.

But it does explicitly and repeatedly list the “stranger” as under special protection, right up there with widows and orphans.

And replace them with this?
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - I’ll piss on 'em
That’s what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let’s club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard.

trump claims to be a Christian. I am pretty sure if we looke at the 10 Commandments that he has broken all into tiny little bits and then bragged about it as he did some time back when he said “if you’re a star they let you do it” and he went on about grabbing certain body parts.
Liar
Cheats on wives and brags about it
800,000 dead of covid on his watch as president and he said “I take no personal responsibility at all”
That is a start … you know there’s a shit ton more

This imagines a cause/effect relationship in the opinions of irrational people possessing limited imagination: it mostly just boils down to blood and soil, them and us; the rest is red meat and pig lipstick.
This country would be poorer without immigration and those voting to throw immigrants out would face serious social security cuts going forward but it is largely pointless trying to explain this to such folk; those who have abandoned reason cannot be swayed by it.
The problem is Christian Seminaries want to give out four year degrees. It takes about a semester to learn the Gospel of Jesus. The next 3 1/2 years are spent poisoning preachers minds with 2000 years of absolute crap.
