What Would Jesus Do?

When Joseph, Mary, and Jesus escaped into Egypt, did they check in with the border guard?  No right winger will say.

When the Good Samaritan assisted the injured traveler, did he ask his immigration status first?  No Trump Monkey will say.

Undocumented Immigrants are LESS Likely to Commit Crimes

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, undocumented immigrants are no more likely than natural born US citizens to commit a crime. Similar myths have followed every wave of immigration in US history - Irish, Catholics, Jewish, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, and German people. We've seen it all before.

Undocumented immigrants are no more likely to commit crimes that natural born US citizens. In fact, they try even harder to avoid encounters with the law.

Biden Inherited Trump's Border Crisis

Some say Biden created an unprecedented crisis at the US southern border. Nonsense. The situation at the border was viewed as a crisis back in April of 2019 by the EXTREMELY right wing Heritage Foundation. Do you suppose they lied?

Apparently even the right wing Heritage Foundation knows the situation at the border is NOT Biden's doing.

Illegal Immigration Increased during Trump's Tenure

Apprehensions at the southwest border, were 14.7% higher in Trump’s final year in office compared with the last full year before he was sworn in. So rather than securing the border, Trump allowed MORE to enter.

Border Surge Is Seasonal and Normal

The surge at the border  "fits a pattern of seasonal changes in undocumented immigration combined with a backlog of demand because of 2020s coronavirus border closure."  -- In other words, it has NOTHING to do with Biden becoming president. (WAPO)

Border Crisis? Biden? Or Trump?

Did the increase of children arriving at the border start under Trump or Biden? Answer:  Under Trump. Biden had nothing to do with it.

Trump's Wall Breached by Smugglers

According to the  agents on the border, smugglers use a cheap battery powered hand tool to saw through Trump's wall. This is from the Washington Post:

"The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as $100. When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in minutes, according to the agents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the barrier-defeating techniques."

"After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the steel out of the way, creating an adult-size gap. Because the bollards are so tall — and are attached only to a panel at the top — their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling, according to engineers consulted by The Washington Post."

Trump Limits Crossings at Ports of Entry

Beginning in the summer of 2018, Trump's administration "has restricted asylum seekers trying to
present themselves at ports of entry, allowing in only a fraction each
day of the people who are waiting — a policy called “metering” or “queue
management.”"

Trump Appears to Condone Gun Violence against Immigrants

Trump appears to support the notion of gunning down those who cross the border illegally:

President Donald Trump's team is engaged in damage control after the commander-in-chief appeared to chuckle at — and make light of — a suggestion from one of his supporters that the federal government shoot migrants.

The comment was made as Trump denounced the legal protections currently granted to migrants in the U.S. and argued that his proposed southern border wall was a necessity.

"I mean, when you have 15,000 people marching up, and you have hundreds and hundreds of people, and you have two or three border security people that are brave and great — and don't forget, we don't let them, and we can't let them use weapons. We can't. Other countries do. We can't. I would never do that," Trump said, describing how border patrol agents are not supposed to shoot undocumented migrants.

After the president rhetorically asked, "How do you stop these people?" a member of the audience in Panama City Beach, Florida, responded: "Shoot them!"

Instead of disavowing the comment, Trump chuckled and replied, "Only in the Panhandle you can get away with that statement — only in the Panhandle."

Matt Wolking, the deputy director of communications (rapid response) for Trump, addressed critics of the president's quip on Twitter by including a transcript from the rally that left out the audience member's violent remark.
