Pope Francis and other members of the Roman Catholic Church have condemned President Donald Trump for his mass deportation plan — which is something most Americans support.
Other detractors are claiming that these mass deportations violate Christian values, like the media outlet Axios.
In a now-deleted post on X, the outlet’s account wrote, “President Trump’s flurry of orders restricting immigration and promising mass deportations violate core Christian principles of caring for the poor and needy, religious leaders in multiple denominations said.”
However, Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” knows this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
“Recognize that those who are being targeted by these immigration raids for deportation are violent criminals,” Wheeler says. “So obviously this is for the safety of you and your family. It’s also great PR because what kind of despicable, disgusting, mainstream media outlet or Democrat politician can come out against this?”
“Oh, you want a rapist who assaulted a child? You want that person to stay? You think that violates some core of American melting pot values to have the man who robbed someone else at gunpoint be sent back to the country that he came from?” She asks, noting that those who are claiming it’s un-Christian are “trying to use your belief system against you.”
Those who are attempting to paint this as un-Christian are also people like the bishop from the National Cathedral, who lectured President Trump and Vice President JD Vance about LGBTQ children as well as immigrants.
“They can’t claim that these illegal aliens aren’t violent. We all know what happened to Laken Riley,” Wheeler says. “They can’t claim that these are just families and children who are trying to escape imminent danger. That’s not true, we know it’s not true, and they cannot escape the reality that Joe Biden invited these people here.”
That’s why they’re attempting to use Christians’ beliefs against them. But Wheeler explains that there’s a different — and correct — way to interpret the duties of God-fearing Christians.
“We have a responsibility to help our fellow Americans first. And think about what we’re struggling with. Think about the 70,000 young people in our country who die every year from fentanyl overdoses. Think of the jobs that are taken from Americans who are trying to support themselves, buy food for their families, that are taken by illegal aliens or migrants,” she says.
“This is detrimental to us,” she adds.
