November Challenge: Something I feel strongly about.
"As you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." From the Book of Matthew. That's what I try to keep in mind when I encounter the migrants who have ended up in my community because Governor Abbott of Texas callously sent them up here.
I've heard all the political ads that demonize migrants. They tell me that these lonely, confused people panhandling on my local street corners are criminals and terrorists. Trump supporters would have me believe they are "poisoning the blood of our country." It's not lost on me that they claim to be loud and proud Christians. Guess their Bibles don't include The Book of Matthew.
I take my faith seriously and it offends me when people use it to justify their xenophobia.
