“I think that a war on Christianity, in my view of the faith, is cutting a trillion dollars out of Medicaid. Jesus spent much of his ministry healing the sick, even those with pre-existing conditions. They’re taking health care away. That’s what a war on Christianity looks like to me.”

Immigrants are no longer wanted. I remember an old Neil Sedaka song with the line, "There was a time when strangers were welcome here." Unless you are 100% Native American, you are here because of immigration.
