We are a debt ridden nation with a need for a great number of workers. Every where you look you see help wanted signs. We have a large number of immigrants in this country who need and want to work. That’s why they came here. If they are not criminals and have been in this country for some time, why are we putting these people in camps like Alligator Alcatraz? These people have been rounded up at work and put in camps where we have to pay millions of dollars to feed, guard and house them. There is no sensible reason for this except Trump’s desire to punish these people. He has this hatred for immigrants which is so unchristian and yet he claims to be a great Christian.
Which brings me to my second area of moral issues. How can you purport to be a Christian and go to church and not see the moral decay that this is causing. Whether it is the terrible treatment of immigrants, gays, lesbians, blacks or Latinos this is hurting our country and moral standing in the world. The Bible emphasizes treating all people with respect and love, reflecting God’s wishes. I guess you go into church a Christian but when you come out all bets are off.
Finally, at one time Trump must have really liked immigrants since he married two of them.
