Where Does Graham Get Evidence that Sanctuary Cities Are Like Hell?

Where is Christian leader Franklin Graham getting his evidence from?

How are sanctuary cities turning into "just a little picture of Hell"?

According to 4 academic studies undocumented people don't increase crime or substance abuse.

How are progressives who show compassion for the impoverished, the persecuted, the oppressed guilty of being "Godless"?

How are such caring leaders contrary to God?

Franklin Graham is also head of a charity, Samaritan's Purse. So why is he so against helping undocumented immigrants, who are working hard, raising families, etc. living in the United States?

Graham said, "...I do want Christians to vote and I want them to ask God before they vote, who they vote...and turn the state [California] back to God..." He also has said that Christians need to stand up against California's "Blue Wall."

It appears this is another case of Graham's support of Donald Trump's polices. Even when it comes to Trump's repeated adulteries, Graham says it's "nobody's business," yet Graham claims that Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama are "Godless" even though they haven't divorced, aren't self-centered, and don't use obscene speech.

Please stand up for refugees. "Rescue the perishing, caring for the dying..."

Talk About Tragic, Hypocritical, and Contrary to Its Founder's Wise Words

Look at the tragic selfish, unkind, unjust, and immoral position that White Evangelical Christians hold toward accepting refugees:

These devout Christians claim that they follow Jesus who told the Parable of the Good Samaritan and who spoke the Sermon on the Mount,
YET
they strongly refuse accepting and helping refugees.

Notice that these U.S. Evangelical Christians are the most opposed of any group to helping the abused, the impoverished, the persecuted, the helpless!!


Don't look to their selfish and fallacious religion for truth, justice, or hope.

Instead, consider these wise words:

In the LIGHT of kindness, compassion, generosity, help, and rescuing,

The Good Samaritan Called Starbucks!

While Friends Meeting wrangle over organizational rulings and theological conflicts,
millions of refugees are suffering and in desperate need of help!

This sadly reminds me of how our Friends Meeting decided not to help Iraqis during the Iraq War. The leader of our Social Concerns group opposed the name of the outreach organization working in Iraq, because it had the word "Christian" in its name--Christian Peacemaker Teams--and because we didn't have a lot of funds:-(.

And now, allegedly 80% of Evangelical Christians (white) oppose bringing many thousands of these desperate humans displaced and suffering to the U.S.

Have they forgotten the story Jesus, the son of human, told?

MODERN GOOD SAMARITAN

Instead, millions of Christians hold to self-centered views like this famous Christian leader, Dr. Robert Jeffress: "I don’t care about that candidate’s tone or vocabulary, I want the meanest, toughest, son of a you-know-what I can find —
and I believe that’s biblical...because I realized what God had done” to save this nation by electing Trump. “To me, it was so obvious that God had intervened in that situation...intervened for Christians in this country...I think we got a reprieve, we got a little bit longer in this country to share the Gospel..."

WHAT IF INSTEAD, ALL OF US FOLLOWED THE LEAD OF STARBUCKS?

BBC News Item
"Starbucks has pledged to hire 10,000 refugees globally over the next five years...chief executive Howard Schultz said...with deep concern, a heavy heart and a resolute promise..." Recruitment will begin in the US and focus on people who had served or supported the military.

The recruitment pledge was "a concerted effort to welcome and seek opportunities for those fleeing war, violence, persecution and discrimination", he said. Starbucks operates more than 25,000 stores in 75 countries worldwide."

Silicon Valley heavyweights including Facebook, Google and Tesla have made public statements, while Airbnb is offering free accommodation to people affected by the travel restrictions and unable to get into the US."
BBC News

What if our Friends meetings in North Carolina, Northwest Yearly Meeting, and many other spiritually focused groups would take a break from in-house disagreements and instead entirely focus for a while on rescuing countless refugees like the secular business Starbucks is doing?!

What if other businesses would also make plans to hire some of these millions of displaced, impoverished, needy Syrian refugees, (and others)?

Even more important, let us as seekers of the Light, reach out to refugees.
