These so called Christian NGO’s are responsible for all of the illegal immigrants coming into this country. They go to Mexico, Honduras,and all countries south of the border.
Bush did this to us when he authorized charities getting government money to “help” the under privileged. Unfortunately, it wasn’t used for people in our country.

Was going to support your post 100% and then you employed the phrase “Antipope Francis”

Antichrist Senor Bergoglio. That’s more like it.

I do not recognize Bergoglio’s primacy or his authority.

I do recognize his last name — and that he is doing the evil work of our adversary

“Evangelicals Say Ron DeSantis Is Threatening Religious liberty With His Support For A Bill That Criminalizes Aid For Immigrants”

What SUCKS is that many Evangelicals raise their kids in the Church, and then send them off to Leftist-Controlled Colleges, where they quickly get brainwashed to HATE their religion.

...but they know how the church operates, so they know how to get into positions of power, as we see here.

The bill is also opposed by the ACLU...

In that case, sign it into Law and immediately enforce it on an Emergency basis.

I think the flood of illegals ramped up after the “pedophile priest” saga led to church closings. The illegal “spigot” has been wide-open ever since.

Illegal does not equal immigrant. Language matters.

Hmmmmm. Aren’t these “religious” organizations supplemented with public funds?

“Immigrants”? How about “alien lawbreakers”?

“...or Christian universities that parents do not know are woke until their kids graduate.”

Same thing - they send their kids to Leftist colleges and all they do there is plot ways of taking over the institutions that they are now brainwashed to HATE.

Ah, get over it. Any aid to an illegal should be a felony.

Which “Evangelicals”. The ones knowingly participating in aid and support for incoming illegal immigrants, with grants from the U.S. government, and because the aid they give gets them U.S. grants; or are we talking about any and all “Evangelicals”? I somehow think it is the former and NOT the latter.

“Catholics” could readily include themselves in opposition to the law because formal charities of the Catholic Church are extremely involved in aiding illegal immigrants, in the U.S. and on their way to the U.S. in Mexico.

The term "Evangelical" is almost meaningless now. The word "Catholic" is almost meaningless now. The word "Baptist" is almost meaningless now. The word Presbyterian is almost meaningless now. The word "Judaism" is almost meaningless now.

You can find any stripe of religious dogma and any brand of politics operating under those labels.

Not evangelicals. Liberals calling themselves Christians. The one they cite is a “mega-church” and I wouldn’t trust a mega-church “campus” minister to give me correct change from a dollar.

The first paragraph, quoting the proposed law, makes it clear that we are talking about ILLEGAL immigration only. The headline is dishonest. How far the lying extends, I’ll leave for others to determine.

The key is not to knowingly break the law. Ignorance of the immigrants’ immigration status is imperative.

Don’t ask, don’t tell.

If they’re illegal, they are not “immigrants.”

The same thing is already in section 8 of federal immigration law. In fact the penalty can be as high as death to the person who gives aid if the illegal causes a death.

Completely ignored like the law does not even exist.
