    Since your faith relies on hate, I can see how there isn’t a conflict.

    You demonstrate in this forum, daily, that Christianity isn’t a part of your belief system.

    No, they don't have to go. The law allows for compassion and exceptions for those with medical needs. Why should the law prevent this child from seeing his doctors? Who helped save his life and might be needed to do so again in the future?

    MAGA republican Christians be like “Praise Jesus, we successfully voted to take food and healthcare from the poor and sick, and benefit the rich. In your name we pray, Amen”

    I'm starting to think that some people might think that there are higher laws which preempt the actual, literal laws of our country.

    I'm starting to think those laws might be based in a faith that not all, um .... Americans ..... share.

    I'm starting to think definitely thinking that that would literally mean using the power and authority of our government to promote a specific faith, and that some people are pretty clearly comfortable with that.

    That would be pretty downright un-American, would it not?

    He would heal the child and tell him to honor his parents.

    No, our Heavenly Father doesn’t see borders nor care about human politics. He values the individual and their progress for salvation.

    It’s not a him or a them, it’s a 10-year-old girl. A girl that honored her parents; which lead her to be in position to receive some of the best care.

    MD Anderson (look it up), is one of the best cancer hospitals in the world. That is where she was being treated. For us to neglect life over politics; what the hell are we becoming…

    We’ll just call you “faith fluid” or maybe “transfaith.”

    ^ Weird - got a disagree bacon for suggesting that Jesus would want these undocumented people (and citizen child) back home.

    You disagree? So Jesus would want them here? Are you then saying that you chose to vote for an anti-Christian administration? (at least on this issue? )

    Surely you see how it seems inconsistent.

    It seems like all MAGA really requires on this issue is a ready slogan on the tongue and ample hatred in the heart. There's certainly no legitimate plan.

    Oh, wait. Build a wall.

    The situational faith of some on here would be laughable as to its hypocrisy if it weren’t so pathetic as to its existence.

    If you are "comfortable" expelling this family from the U.S., preventing them from taking their daughter to Houston to see her physician at M D Anderson, your ''Faith'' will rightly be perceived as defective; deficient.

    Your declared level of comfort with the decision to expel the family is a perversion of the long established Christian tenet to generously bestow charity and hospitality upon the stranger and destitute. It is a recurring theme found in several books in both biblical testaments.


    There, but for the grace of God ...

    powerful read in case you had not seen this. can't believe this is happening in my country

    canadian trying to renew a visa. taken into custody...

    I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped | US immigration | The Guardian

    Our next stop was Arizona, the San Luis Regional Detention Center. The transfer process lasted 24 hours, a sleepless, grueling ordeal. This time, men were transported with us. Roughly 50 of us were crammed into a prison bus for the next five hours, packed together – women in the front, men in the back. We were bound in chains that wrapped tightly around our waists, with our cuffed hands secured to our bodies and shackles restraining our feet, forcing every movement into a slow, clinking struggle.

    When we arrived at our next destination, we were forced to go through the entire intake process all over again, with medical exams, fingerprinting – and pregnancy tests; they lined us up in a filthy cell, squatting over a communal toilet, holding Dixie cups of urine while the nurse dropped pregnancy tests in each of our cups. It was disgusting.

    There were no pillows. The room was ice cold, and one blanket wasn’t enough. Around me, women lay curled into themselves, heads covered, looking like a room full of corpses. This place made the last jail feel like the Four Seasons.I kept telling myself: Do not let this break you.

    Thirty of us shared one room. We were given one Styrofoam cup for water and one plastic spoon that we had to reuse for every meal. I eventually had to start trying to eat and, sure enough, I got sick. None of the uniforms fit, and everyone had men’s shoes on. The towels they gave us to shower were hand towels. They wouldn’t give us more blankets. The fluorescent lights shined on us 24/7. Everything felt like it was meant to break you. Nothing was explained to us. I wasn’t given a phone call. We were locked in a room, no daylight, with no idea when we would get out.

    The link says “undocumented.” It does not say illegal. Can anyone clarify?

    Suddenly laws matter. You voted for a convicted felon for president. So spare us. But please let me know if these immigrants were undocumented or illegal.
