  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They know that. They find it easier just to regurgitate that knowingly false claim.
People don't believe that the border was safe, secure, and closed during the Biden administration, why would anyone believe those same sources today?

Your statement is a disconnect. Asylum seekers is who Biden let in. Your touted number is wrong, and has always been wrong.

The border situation reached the level of disaster under the Biden administration. Human trafficking rose to a level need seen since the Civil War.
Your statements are accurate; however, attributing responsibility to a single president while disregarding trends over the past sixty years reflects either a lack of awareness or intentional misrepresentation.

Perhaps the title is referrig to these Lords? The terrifying masked, armed, violent personas of ICE fits these lords much better (list gleaned from Wikipedia.)

Especially when it is assumed that millions of illegal entrants are refugees before they even apply.



Maybe we will also be told that investigations of fraudulent migrant charities ( like “Feeding our Future”) is actually starving children to death even though the money raised & appropriated to feed them was already stolen.


Or that autistic children are also being abused when actually fraudulent organizations profit from false advertising in the name of charity.

How compelling. I am not saying anything profound. The rise of those here under Obama was through asylum.

God's heavy hitters smack down Trump

Not my title. Posted for comments from religious leaders on the mass deportations.

-----

Recently-installed Pope Leo XIV met this month with the Bishop of El Paso, Mark Seitz, and senior Catholic welfare director Dylan Corbett as violence by Trump’s goons against refugees and citizens alike was raging.

The Pontiff told his two countrymen:

The church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me. And I stand with you.


You have in your hands a very important task: to accompany those who are deeply in need of a sign that God never abandons us: the smallest, the poorest, the foreigner — everyone.


----

Pat Khanke is a retired conservative Evangelical minister, a published author and now an internet video producer. He was a lifelong Republican-voting anti-abortion campaigner and while still pro-life, is no longer pro-GOP.

Khanke's gentle-Jesus manner has recently morphed into a scathing condemnation of Trump’s sexual predation and criminality:

Corruption isn’t going to fix itself. Whatever else the MAGA movement is and whatever else Donald Trump might be, Trump and MAGA are corrupt to the core. And corruption is only going to embed itself deeper until it’s rooted out. Trump’s rhetoric about draining the swamp was always dishonest. He is the most corrupt president in history. And now he has corrupted the Republican Party and he is corrupting every institution of government. And he’s corrupting the Christian groups who thought that he might be serving their interests.

Khanke urged all believers to abandon the MAGA movement:

“Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, I’m not going to vote for a lying, criminal predator, especially in the name of Jesus, because obviously that’s sick, and offensive.... You don’t vote for the criminal.”

Obviously, those religious leaders disagree with many other religious leaders and millions upon millions of Christians who support President Donald Trump.

The violent rhetoric and name-calling (as in the the article referring to "Trump's goons" and "lying, criminal predator) continues to damage all of us.
Those are tactics used by people who can't win in a civil debate.

The job of religion in America is to serve party. These people are forgetting their place.
