"Far-Left Churches See Illegals As Big Business"

"There are a number of Christian ministries and publications that are outraged over President Trump’s mass deportations.

One major far-left Christian magazine published an essay claiming even Jesus was a refugee – which he was not. The insinuation is that if you oppose the illegal aliens, you oppose Jesus.

But it turns out their anger may not be so much about the loss of the illegals as it is the loss of their cash cow. These holier-than-thou woke preachers are not fleecing the flock. They’re fleecing American taxpayers.

President Trump issued an executive order stripping federal money to a number of so-called charities that are supposedly using the cash to help illegals.

Catholic Charities received $1.4 billion in tax money. The Lutherans got nearly $100 million and Church World Services got $20.5 million.

Remember the bishop at National Cathedral – the one who attacked President Trump from the pulpit? Her denomination’s immigration ministry got $53 million in tax money.

The great irony is that many of these far-left Christian groups are among the loudest voices hollering about separation of church and state.

But when it comes to a government hand-out — they’re quiet as church mice.

If the Catholics and Episcopalians and the Lutherans want to care for the illegals, they should do so with their own tithes and offerings and not the hard-earned money of American taxpayers.

That’s not charity. It’s welfare."
