US refugee crisis: a moral litmus test of white American Christian response.

Since April, 2020, monthly number of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border has surpassed 200,000 on 10 separate occasions.

The American public is broadly dissatisfied with how things are going at the border, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

Are white Christian American selfishness a reflection of Jesus' own nature? Or are we refusing to live the way Jesus taught?

If Jesus were alive today he would probably focus on his old “go to” and go after banks charging 33% interest on credit card loans . Not migrants .

Jesus approved of charging interest on money loans to Gentiles. He didn't approve of Jews charging each other interest.

If he was still wiggling on the cross that would be impressive. You can turn water into beer and kool-aid so that should make you just as cool.

@Diotrephes served as the founder of a modern day religion of a billion followers ? No, Mohammed did that too. Um, he talked to God? No, Moses did that too. Oh I have one . he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand side of his father .

Can you post the video of him rising from the dead and ascending into heaven and sitting at the right hand of his father? I wonder where his mother is?

Jesus is a modern day name, originating about 1630 AD.

Mexicans are a multi-ethnic group different from other demographic groups in the Western Hemisphere. The US government also classifies them as Whites.
