Immigration

[O Really]

Supes and company seems to like immigration enforcement akin to treating a stolen candy bar like crash and grab jewelry robbery with fatalities.

I'm only seeing half the conversation....

I'm envious.

Being stopped for a traffic violation is hardly kidnapping.

Okay, dementia it is.

When you quote me it's a given you're responding to my post, not Vrede's.

You and Vrede are interchangeable.

Exalting yourself living in a gated company?

I don't think Vrede or Cubby are demented. Misguided- another story.

More whiny White supremacy in action:

US to begin admitting white South African refugees

Episcopal Church says it won't help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status in US

The Episcopal Church's migration service is refusing a directive from the federal government to help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status, citing the church's longstanding “commitment to racial justice and reconciliation.”

Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe announced the step Monday, shortly before 59 South Africans arrived at Dulles International Airport outside Washington on a private charter plane and were greeted by a government delegation.

Episcopal Migration Ministries instead will halt its decades-long partnership with the government, Rowe said.

Wow!

President Donald Trump opened a fast-tracked refugee status to white South Africans, accusing their government of discrimination, even as his administration abruptly shut down the overall U.S. refugee program. The South Africans jumped ahead of thousands of would-be refugees overseas who had been undergoing years of vetting and processing.

White supremacy in action.

... “It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment over many others who have been waiting in refugee camps or dangerous conditions for years,” Rowe said. “I am saddened and ashamed that many of the refugees who are being denied entrance to the United States are brave people who worked alongside our military in Iraq and Afghanistan and now face danger at home because of their service to our country.”

He also said many refugees, including Christians, are victims of religious persecution and are now denied entry.

He said the church would find other ways to serve immigrants, such as those already in this country and those stranded overseas.

The move marks the end of a ministry-government partnership that, for nearly four decades, has served nearly 110,000 refugees from countries, including Ukraine, Myanmar and Congo, Rowe said.

It's not the first high-profile friction between the Episcopal Church and the Trump administration. Bishop Mariann Budde of Washington drew Trump's anger in January at an inaugural prayer service in which she urged “mercy” on those fearing his actions, including migrants and LGBTQ+ children....

EDIT: The Episcopal Church was not the first to ditch PINO's government:

The Catholic Church is breaking up with the U.S. government. Here’s why it matters
Mon, April 7, 2025

U.S. Catholic leaders are ending their church’s 50-year partnership with the federal government and seeking new ways to help refugees.

Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, announced the change in a press release and Washington Post column on Monday, arguing that the Trump administration forced his denomination’s hand.

“The bishops’ decision came after the federal government suspended our cooperative agreements to resettle refugees. The drastic reduction of these programs forced us to reconsider the best way to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters seeking safe harbor from violence and persecution,” he wrote for The Washington Post.

Wow

... U.S. Catholic leaders are ending their church’s 50-year partnership with the federal government and seeking new ways to help refugees.

Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, announced the change in a press release and Washington Post column on Monday, arguing that the Trump administration forced his denomination’s hand.

“The bishops’ decision came after the federal government suspended our cooperative agreements to resettle refugees. The drastic reduction of these programs forced us to reconsider the best way to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters seeking safe harbor from violence and persecution,” he wrote for The Washington Post.

... “This is a painful end to a life-sustaining partnership the Catholic Church in the U.S. has had with our government and that has spanned decades across administrations of both political parties. It offers every Catholic an opportunity to search our hearts for ways to help in the absence of government support,” he wrote for The Washington Post.

... In his new statement and column, Archbishop Broglio makes it clear that the Catholic Church will continue serving refugees moving forward. But the structure that service will take remains unclear.

The archbishop asked Catholics and others to pray for the church as it enters a new chapter.

“The Bible’s call to do what we can for the least among us remains the benchmark. Please join us in praying for God’s grace, that we might still find generous ways to respond to crises and bring hope where it is most needed,” he wrote for The Washington Post.

"Catholic" Just Deranged Vance and MAGA despise Christians. Shame on them.
