Jesus is not celebrating migrant people drowning at the border, including an infant. I can’t say what his view on immigration would be, but I know it wouldn’t be that. I also highly doubt Jesus would support Greg Abbott’s practice of setting up buoys in the Rio Grande to deter more people from crossing the river.
It’s almost like I remember quite a few stories from the Bible that involved crossing rivers…I wonder if there’s any significance in that. Nah, probably just a coincidence.
But anyway, yes, this is going to be another one of those articles that reminds you that Jesus was actually a long-haired hippie of Middle Eastern descent with strangely socialist values (not a blond-haired, blue-eyed white, conservative and judgmental man.) Talk about making him an idol in your own image.
