“And Pharaoh spake, saying ‘You shall build for me a great wall, and lay taxes upon those on the other side. And you shall tear children asunder from the bosoms of their mothers.’ And Pharaoh’s people rejoiced, saying ‘It is good.’”
In the past it has been the immigrants who came to this country bringing with them their own language their own cultures their own food styles. They Blended with us…. they learned our language…. they adopted our culture ….and they gave us the gift of their food recipes ….that we learned to love. Trump wants to isolate us, he wants to weaken us. People who already have a safe decent rich life in their own countries are not in the market to immigrate to a country that offers them less than what they’re getting in their own home countries. Trump only wants Rich blond English-speaking immigrants. He’s only going to get them after Russia has destroyed all of NATO, NAFTA, and UN countries. Norway sees this and has asked for additional US Marines to be posted in Norway…..He doesn’t see that the reason for being a Haven to the poor and the oppressed and the suffering actually has the upside of making us the recipients in strength and wealth of a variety of cultures not just the wealth that he worships known as Mammon. Immigrants have contributed immensely in the past, in the present, and, hopefully, in the future but not at the expense of World Peace.
Watching Sessions talk about the refugee children being ripped from their parents is truly disgusting. He smiles from ear to ear and seems almost giddy. Sessions and Huckabee-Sanders are talking about Biblical passages about following the law seem to forget the majority of the NEW Testament.
sessions cited the bible on how you should attack your neighbor before they can get to you, and how you should put your needs before the rest of the world. Zero-tolerance, as Jesus preached, means families are torn apart rendering unto Caesar what is his.
Apparently the Church Friends of Trump agree that if someone says something is from the bible, they can go along with what ever murderous plot is presented. The Trump administration has considered the thoughts of church leaders over time. They are sympathetic to them. But they are a law and order for others administration. They want laws to control the states in the nation. They want secular laws when the bible isn’t as cruel as they are. They want a theocracy when it comes to LGBT, and laws when it comes to immigrants. The US is not a church, it won’t provide sanctuary to children born here, victims, tax-payers or adults who have grown up here with no issues, good school performance and jobs. They have unreasonable immigration laws that are being enforced as unsympathetically as possible.
My request to religious leaders and friends is to continue to criticize the carrying out of these unjust laws. Speak up forcefully, strongly and urge this travesty to end so we can go back to being a nation of just laws.

Is this illustration a reference to something in popular culture? I’m not getting the reference at all, if it is a reference to something.

The best cartoon of the year thus far. Clay is simply extraordinary in his vision and craft.
