The immigration conversation in the US is dangerously distorted and made emotional.
In this podcast I debunk four myths about immigrants:
- That they are all "illegal"
- That anyone is proposing open borders
- That immigrants are only consumers here to take advantage of American taxpayers
- That fentanyl comes in via illegal immigrants
If legality was the true concern, why is ICE free to operate outside the law?
And finally, we look at five scriptures from the old and new testaments about the fatherless, the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the sojourner. Since a lot of the deportation steam is being provided by christians, I thought it fitting to go to the text.
