It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with racism and xenophobia toward people of color, Immigrants, Muslims, etc., yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who is a Middle Eastern man and was once an Immigrant.
2) It blows my mind that some fellow Christians can be okay with the abortion of unborn babies, yet on Sunday worship the Savior, Jesus, who was once an unborn baby in the womb of His mother Mary and born in a manger.

I was just in line at a gas station. Right after I paid for my gas, a guy came up to me while I was about to get in my car and said, “Do you run @TheimmigProject?” I said, “Yes!” He said, “I’ve been following y’all and I just want to say, “As a Christian, I’m..
2) thankful y’all talk about respecting the rule of law, but I don’t like that y’all say we are commanded to love undocumented Immigrants and Migrants at the Border. They’re illegal aliens and therefore don’t deserve my love. To say I’m obligated to love these illegal aliens...
