(35,001 posts)But even I, as a fully documented, "natural born" American (with no ties to anyone undocumented that I'm aware of) understood what would be coming.
When you listen to magats, it always boils down to the same reasons. Rarely (if ever) do they mention crime. They were concerned about a hypothetical trans person joining a girls' soccer team, or they were full of jealousy when they heard about undocumented individuals (who literally have nothing) receiving a voucher to stay at a New York hotel on a freezing cold night. Sometimes they even throw in the nonsense excuse of wanting to stop abortion.
I wonder if the people who became radicalized when the undocumented were given temporary housing ever considered what it would look like if the undocumented, who were transported to New York under false pretenses, were not given housing and were instead left to starve and freeze on the street. Is that the type of country they want to live in?
That type of cruel approach is 100% out of step with biblical teaching, by the way. The Bible specifically references how people should treat foreigners.
