Terrific article. Headline is accurate. IMO, evangelicals traded their soul because they wanted a fighter. Why? Logic would say because they no longer believe that God himself is fighting for them. So instead they demanded a king. Sound familiar? https://t.co/EGrPzbkPtF

@realDonaldTrump — please make a statement and throw your weight in the direction of helping people who are being massacred. https://t.co/h5c8wcK9fi

“Mindful of a mixed history that includes shameful moments when our nation returned Jews fleeing the Nazis back to be killed in the Holocaust, the U.S. has committed that our country should never send anyone back to a situation of persecution.”

[Matthew Soerens @MatthewSoerens]

Our national response to the "caravan" coming up through Mexico should not be to restrict the right to request asylum enshrined in our laws. Instead, our response should be driven by facts & by faith

[Matthew Soerens @MatthewSoerens]

Immigration & Nationality Act §208: anyone who reaches the US who fears persecution can request asylum “whether or not at a designated port of entry”

"Teeming masses yearning to breathe free" are trying to come legally but our government changed the rules https://t.co/jKeWQ7w1o7

Only in American can you be Pro-Death Penalty, Pro-Unrestricted Gun Rights, Pro-War, Pro-Preemptive Strikes, Pro-Torture, Pro-Extrajudicial Murders of Unarmed Blacks by Police...

...and still consider yourself 'Pro-Life.'

.@StateDept plans to consult with #Congress before reaching a final decision on the Fiscal Year 2019 #refugee ceiling. Call your Members of Congress and tell them to #Welcome75k!

It's simple:
1) Make the call.
2) Share your views.
3) Spread the word.

[Jenny Yang @JennyYang318]

Let’s call the @WhiteHouse and tell them that 30K is unacceptable. @WorldRelief is asking for 75K for FY2019- we can and should do more #WeWelcomeRefugees #RefugeesWelcome #Welcome75K

BREAKING: Attorney General Jeff Sessions has moved to deny asylum seekers a right to bond hearing. That means asylum seekers would have to stay in detention even after passing "credible fear" interviews: https://t.co/XKVUGzci4B @KPBSnews

[Amy Staska @AmyStaska]

Call!

The 30K cap on refugees announced by the Secretary of State yesterday, according to a State Department spokesperson, “may not be the final number” (https://t.co/No5ZGX8ubO)

It’s still ultimately @POTUS’ decision. Tell him you want the US to #welcome75K refugees: 202-456-1111

[Matthew Soerens @MatthewSoerens]

Average annual refugee cap by presidential administration:

Carter: 224K (FY80-81)
Reagan: 89K (FY82-89)
Bush 41: 132K (FY90-93)
Clinton: 93K (FY94-2001)
Bush 43: 73K (FY02-09)
Obama: 80K (FY10-17)
Trump: 38K (FY18-19)

Largest displacement in world history and we are at lowest levels of refugee acceptance. I’m so saddened by this. We have a booming economy and many resources. We can’t take all the world’s vulnerable but we can take more than this.

Pathetic. https://t.co/OMP8O0CsIv

My phone made this great video of my VA/DC group advocating for immigration reform on Capitol Hill. #TheJusticeInstitute @ZuzanaCepla

400 Evangelical pastors sign letter urging Trump Administration to raise refugee cap to 75,000 per year. Only 11,000 have been allowed in in first six months of this year. https://t.co/sLsrFenw4f

@EleanorNorton is such a great advocate in the refugee/immigration conversation! (Even though D.C. doesn’t yet get a vote!) #justiceinstitute
