    Trump is promising to carry out mass deportations using a 226-year-old law that allows the federal government to detain “enemy aliens” in times of war.

    Is he planning on getting congress to declare war on every third world, or as he puts it, “shit-hole” country on the planet?

    I’m not religious but I looked up these passages to show how hypocritical they are:

    Matthew 25:35 - “For I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

    Romans 12:13 - “Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

    Deuteronomy 10:18-19 - “Treat foreigners and sojourners with empathy and understanding, as they are vulnerable and in need.”

    So, religious cunts.

    People who believe in the actual ideals of America are not split on this.

    America is a nation of immigrants.

      Tell that to the Japanese Americans during WW2.

      The ideal murica you imagine is not the one that exists, and never has been.

    I swear these fake Christians are the same people who will judge people for swearing and then have no problem telling someone on record they want to put brown people in concentration camps. If there is a God I hope he judges them accordingly.

      It’s also the same people who claim that moral integrity is the end-all-be-all in leadership while having no problem supporting a person for the ultimate leadership position whose views on women include “grab’em by the pussy.” The moral superiority is pretty much gone.

    We are also split on using the military against Trumps enemies. There are a lot of people in this country who have lost their way.

    The only people that belong in such camps are the ones who want to put others there.

      Definitely. And after that, I’m sure Jesus would have picked up hammer and nails to finish that wall to keep all those pesky immigrants out.
