🪡: Here is a ten point plan for groups like Catholic Charities USA (@CCharitiesUSA), Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (@LIRSorg), World Relief (@WorldRelief), Church World Service (@CWS_global), and Episcopal Migration Ministries (@EMM_refugees) to undo some of the damage they've wrought on our nation through human trafficking.

Just lead with this part so those who don’t know you know to ignore you: “I think the Reagan approach in 1986 (legalization plus more border security) was correct. We failed, however, at border security in the years and decades that followed, and that is a key reason for our present crisis.”
I have the same thoughts about @SlowToWrite (Samuel Sey) that I have with all undocumented (or potentially undocumented) immigrants who are living productive otherwise law-abiding lives in the country. 1) Detention is a last resort, not a first resort. 2) If there is *evidence* that they are flight risk (not just suspicion due to immigration status) use an ankle monitor. 3) Detain them if they've committed felonies or are otherwise a threat to the public. Oh, and deportation isn't always the right answer. If a person is married to an American, has a job, and has American kids here then it's usually going to be bad for us and for them to deport. We should *want* productive, peaceful people and families in this country. Border security is very good. We should control who gets in this country and limit immigration to a pace that sustainable, doesn't overwhelm social services, and doesn't overtax communities. Interior enforcement -- especially when dealing with people who are living productive lives here -- can be more perilous. There's lots of consensus to get rid of criminals. Let's do that and then talk about the folks who are living good lives here in the U.S. I think the Reagan approach in 1986 (legalization plus more border security) was correct. We failed, however, at border security in the years and decades that followed, and that is a key reason for our present crisis.

Rebecca case was killed in a car wreck tonight, and she is with the Lord. Her husband Matt faces a tremendous task raising their 9 children without his beloved wife. They have immediate needs, and I'd ask you go give as the 10 remaining souls in this family face life without their wife and mother. givesendgo.com/support-matt-…

Did you know, beginning in Jan. 2027, you can give up to $3400 to a private school of your choice (via non-profit scholarship), and it’s a tax credit? So, if you owe $5,000 in taxes, you’ll only owe $1600. It’s a $1 for $1 tax credit. #taxes #taxcredit #taxbreak

Watching Charlie Kirk get murdered on a livestream and then watching left-wingers celebrate the murder was infinitely worse than your friend getting deported for being in the U.S. illegally. Maybe take a deep breath and calm down. It’s nice that you care about your friends and want to take care of them, but the constant emotional crashouts are embarrassing. And for someone who claims that the mere concept of the friend-enemy distinction in politics is evil and Nazi-esque, you sure do spend a lot of time carving out legal exceptions for your friends, spreading false information on their behalf, and smearing anyone who disagrees with you as worse than Hitler. That doesn’t make you evil, but it does make you a hypocrite and an emotionally incontinent mess who maybe should consider taking a break from the Internet for a while.
Replying to @JoelWBerry
This has been probably the darkest 24 hours I’ve ever experienced on social media in my life. The things being said about Samuel, his wife, and his small children are unthinkably evil. There is a segment of the so-called “Christian” nationalist crowd that has given itself completely over to Satan. I’ve never had more resolve to defeat these subversive demons invading the Right and invading Christianity.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Joel Berry has promoted deportation of illegal immigrants that he doesn’t know. Suddenly he opposes it in this case since he’s sympathetic to the person who’s being deported. This is inconsistent. x.com/joelwberry/sta…

My son informs me that he is embarrassed from his viola performance yesterday. He’s six, and had his second concert. “Dad, I just didn’t like how I played. I got a note out of tune.” “Son, you can learn from that, and do better next time.” “But dad, I’ll never play Chinese garden again.”

I’m going to ask him to play it again in a couple of years. I was delighted at how he played. It’s remarkable to be self-aware and is both a gift and a curse.

May these men be the Swiss guards of our day. Any way to donate ti supporting El Salvador’s mission? I’d love nothing more than to support in some small way a nation that increases stability around America, the land that I love.
Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo. Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba. En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora. Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos. Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros. Deuteronomio 28:7 “Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti”.

We actually want deportations and denaturalizations. We want our grandchildren to have a country to inherit. Yes, we really mean it. We have all along. We are not sorry.

You know, all we have to do is severely punish criminals and give them the option of restitution or death.
They got the answer right away

Phil treats doctrinal certainty like a character flaw. Telling! Phil sees John MacArthur teaching the Bible verse by verse as a problem. Telling! Phil sees Rush Limbaugh’s entertaining political commentary - ever so damaging to the left - as a problem. Telling! Phil sees certainty as the opposite of curiosity instead of something that can emerge from years of curious thoughts and pursuits. Telling! I doubt we could get an honest list from Phil Vischer of who he thinks Megan’s influencers should be, but it would be telling if we could!
It’s telling that two of her biggest heroes and influences were Rush Limbaugh and John MacArthur. As a result, she values combative partisanship and absolute doctrinal certainty. High certainty, low curiosity. Very bad combo for a journalist.
