The immigration raids tied to President Trump’s mass deportation plan have officially kicked off—and let’s just say, they’re not messing around. After promising this on day one, the administration wasted no time in getting things rolling. And before anyone clutches their pearls, let’s be clear about one thing: the primary targets here are violent criminals. We’re talking about rapists, child abusers, and armed robbers—not your sweet grandma who overstayed her visa.
This strategy is designed to protect you and your family while making it pretty hard for anyone to argue against. I mean, who’s out there campaigning for the right to keep a convicted murderer hanging around? You’d be surprised.
I am a born-again Christian. This article is not to bash Christianity. I am trying to point out that there are members of the clergy who have been brainwashed into thinking that casting liberalism from the pulpit is part of God’s plan. It’s not. Allowing up to 20 million illegal immigrants to enter the country in four years without any knowledge of their origins or whereabouts is not a sign of being tolerant. The new administration prioritizes protecting American citizens from illegal aliens who commit heinous crimes.
Axios’ Hot Take (and Rapid Delete)
Axios decided to jump into the fray with a now-deleted tweet claiming these immigration raids violate “Christian values.” Yes, because apparently, protecting your citizens from gang violence is unholy. Unsurprisingly, the tweet didn’t age well. In fact, it got “ratioed” so hard it’s probably hiding under its digital bed right now. For the uninitiated, being “ratioed” means getting way more backlash than likes—a social media fail of epic proportions.
Why the tweet deletion? Maybe because the argument wasn’t exactly rock solid. Axios leaned on some very questionable religious leaders for backup, including a “Priestess” from the National Cathedral. You’ve got to wonder—are these folks really representing mainstream Christian beliefs, or are they just cherry-picking scripture to fit a political narrative?

Now let’s set the record straight. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (2241, for my theology nerds out there) does encourage wealthy nations to welcome foreigners in search of safety and livelihood. But here’s the difference—it also says this should only happen to the extent the country is able. Translation: You don’t have to burn down your own house to help someone else.
And get this: the Catechism also supports public authorities setting conditions for immigration to ensure the common good. Plus, immigrants are supposed to respect the laws and culture of their new home. Crazy, right? Turns out, open-border policies aren’t exactly written in the Bible.
America First: Because You Don’t Ignore Your Own Kids
Let’s not pretend America doesn’t have its own problems. The opioid crisis is wrecking lives, the economy is still recovering in many areas, and illegal immigration continues to displace jobs. Like any good parent, the government has to prioritize its own family—aka you, the citizens.
And let’s not forget the actual criminals being deported. ICE recently nabbed an MS-13 gang member wanted for aggravated murder in El Salvador and another guy from Haiti with 17 (yes, 17!) criminal convictions. These aren’t your hardworking neighbors mowing lawns—they’re dangerous criminals. Getting them out isn’t just legal; it’s common sense.
The Left’s Tired Strategy: Guilt Trips
Of course, the left can’t say these criminals are harmless, so they’ve shifted gears to guilt-tripping. “What about Christian values?” they cry, conveniently ignoring the parts about justice and public safety. It’s a clever tactic, but don’t fall for it. Scripture doesn’t say, “Turn a blind eye to crime so people like Axios can feel morally superior.”
Yes, Enforcing Laws Can Be Christian
Let’s wrap this up with some truth bombs. The Bible doesn’t require Christians to tolerate lawlessness or endanger their communities. In fact, it emphasizes justice and the common good. Deporting violent criminals isn’t just morally sound—it’s a Christian duty.
President Trump’s policies aim to protect Americans while upholding the law. Deporting dangerous individuals? That’s not just good governance—it’s the right thing to do. So the next time someone tries to twist scripture to guilt you, just remind them: caring for the poor doesn’t mean letting violent criminals roam free.
Final Thoughts
The immigration debate will rage on, but here’s the bottom line: America has every right—and responsibility—to enforce its laws and keep its citizens safe. Don’t let political noise distract you from that truth. Supporting these efforts isn’t just about national security; it’s about upholding justice, protecting the vulnerable, and preserving the values that make this country great.
God Bless America
