Note as reported by the @WSJ and confirmed by Gov. DeWine, Haitians were able "immigrate legally under a Biden administration policy granting Temporary Protected Status to Haitians as part of a program created by Congress in 1990 to protect immigrants from countries deemed too dangerous to return to."
"The local economy [in Springfield] boomed. Business owners said they were grateful to have workers eager to work long shifts and do what it took to meet production goals. New subdivisions sprung up in the cornfields outside town. New restaurants opened. The Haitian flag flew at City Hall."
And yet, @JDVance insists that despite the fact that Haitian immigrants are here legally and protected by the Constitution, he "will still call them illegal" as he persists in his lie against his own Haitian constituents.
Mystal: I think the Democrats will tamp down their language the moment Trump tamps down his language about the Democrats, about immigrants, about people of color, about women and not a moment before
I’m a Christian. I worship God. I read the Bible. These people seem to fundamentally misunderstand the greatness of the United States, our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and even Christianity itself.
“Is there room for Jews in a Christian state?” … What the hell even is this question? Why is it even being asked? What does it mean to “make room” for a religious group? Who has that power? Utter nonsense!
Nowhere in either my history classes, my law school classes, or my Bible study classes have I ever heard the suggestion from any kind of authority (spiritual or otherwise) that our energies as Christians or Americans should be geared toward creating a worldly government focused on excluding or marginalizing other religious people and their religious practice in the interest of mandating societal religious conformity to Christianity through the use of state power.
That is not Christian or American. It’s something else. I don’t want my governor deciding what counts as Christian enough; that’s between me, my pastor, and God.
Christianity, in its truest sense, cannot be forced onto a populace. It can only come through willing acceptance and real belief. The United States was formed as a protective haven for Christianity and other religions precisely because it did not seek to enforce religious acceptance on its citizens! This is basic stuff.
This NatCon nonsense is completely asinine and backwards—not just as a matter of American constitutional founding—but also as a matter of basic Christian theology.
@Scholastic Pathetic. You are in a position of power and could do something about these horrific laws. Instead you cave. We spend hundreds every year on your boom fairs. Never again.
Oklahoma @GovStitt and a bunch of men cosplaying with guns inside a school for a photo op tells you everything you need to know about why the US had more gunfire on school grounds last year than ever before, and guns are now the leading cause of death for children in America.
