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
“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.”
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

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
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
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.
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
