In part 1 of the series Christian Response to Mass Deportation we saw the need as Christians to look for truth, and to recognize emotional manipulation by media sources.
We saw the need, in the biblical role of government to “punish those who do evil and praise those who do good.” (1 Pet. 2:13-16)
The first level of evil that should be punished is those who created this tragedy for political and personal gain in the first place. One political party has repeatedly incentivized immigration by offering free stuff not out of compassion for the plight of those living in poverty outside our borders, but rather in order to secure votes to consolidate their political power and to make use of cheap labor. This is criminal exploitation, and those who caused this should be brought to justice.
Today, let us look at the truth behind the “refugee” claim and the myopic “compassion” some are advocating in the name of Jesus.
Who and What Comes…
You know (I hope) that the media who presents this emotional issue is fully biased. They support one ideological position. It is usually the same exploitative position that caused this problem. They have an agenda.
That agenda is to emotionally manipulate you to keep their favored party in power.
When they show you illegal immigrants, they will call them “refugees” and they show families, cute kids, and tears.
Emotional manipulation.
The truth is far uglier, and the new Border Chief describes the problem with porous borders well:
What happened on our southern border the last four years is the biggest national security threat this county has seen, at least in my lifetime, because we’ve got over two-million known getaways. We’ve got a 600% increase in sex trafficking, we’ve got a record number of terrorists crossing the border on the terrorist watch list, and we have quarter million Americans dying from fentanyl coming across the open border. (Tom Homan)
When the media, the exploitation party, social media influencers, and even some Christian leaders start lecturing on the supposed “compassion” that Jesus would show toward deportation, think of the myopic view of compassion they are advocating.
Where is the Compassion?
In lecturing America on “compassion” for people who sneak across the border, where is the compassion for those who are being drugged and taken across the border (both ways)for the purpose of being sold into sexual slavery?
Many of these are children, who are living a traumatic life of terror and abuse.
Where is the “Christian” compassion for them?
Where is their compassion for families losing loved ones due to the widespread availability of cheap and poor quality fentanyl being smuggled across the border by illegals.
It is estimated that 2200 pound of fentanyl were smuggled across the southern border in September of 2023. It only take 2 milligrams to kill a person! 2200 pounds in one month?
Where is not only the compassion, but the righteous indignation toward that?
Where is their compassion for all law-abiding Americans, including those who went through the process of immigration to be here, as terrorist and weapons flood across our border simply because politicians want to increase their power and wealth?
In view of the reality, answer me this…
Does Jesus Love Sex Trafficking?
Really, does he?
Pope Francis came in strongly condemning the deportation process, supposedly speaking for God (he isn’t).
So Francis, would Jesus look on as young boys and girls are kidnapped, drugged, and smuggled across the American border illegally and say, “This is righteous?”
I think of this reality and my gut response is borrowed from old western movies: Deportation is too good for them!” For anyone caught trafficking any fellow person made in the image of God, I can only think of one fitting punishment: death.
Would Jesus watch as depraved wealthy people abused children and young adults for their own perverse pleasure and say to us, “Go and do the same?”
As for other religious leaders pontificating the same position, all I can say is, “Have you ever read the Bible?”
Brood of Vipers?
Okay, I’m using the techniques of Jesus to get someone’s attention. Jesus called the religious elite of his day “a broad of vipers” and “white-washed tombs”.
Why would he do that?
To wake them up.
Wake up people! This issue isn’t just about the honest poor family as “refugees” trying to make a better life. It is the story of a tyrannical thirst for power being expressed through the exploitation of the poor that is causing suffering and danger on an unprecedented scale.
The majority of the illegals in our country today are victims of that exploitation.
So are you!
Our lives, our taking the gospel throughout the world, the security and safety of our future generations–have all been sold down the road for the benefit of the unquenchable ambition of the political and wealthy elite.
If you’ve noticed all the stars and big-named athletes suddenly leaving the country due to the “bad orange man,” I suspect that was just a convenient excuse. More likely, their names are on either the Epstein lists, or the Diddy-party list. They fear the rightful justice of their crimes.
So no, Jesus would not disapprove of deportation because of “compassion.” If we fail to deal with the evil in our society that has caused this, he would disapprove of us.
He would disapprove of our (as those who wear his name) shallowness and ability to be so easily manipulated by vapid emotional ploys that are being presented by media, governmental officials, influencers, and unfortunately, the Christian religious elite.
That includes you Francis.
Hope and Despair
I have covered this problem in all four of my books so far, and it will also be heavily stressed in my upcoming book, You Don’t Have to Live That Way.
But Christians today, sadly, are cult members.
To many of the “leaders” of Christianity, including Francis, have chosen to be cultist.
You see, we spend on average 4 to 5 hours “screen time” every day, being indoctrinated by the daily media bath we choose into shallow emotional reasoning.
We have strong religious convictions, but it turns out those are just ideologies we have heard that sound good to us.
We do not spend, the average Christian at least, 4 to 5 hours with God in his Word even every week! 4 to 5 hours on a screen per day, how many minutes per week do you spend with God in his Word?
We do not read at all, just like every pagan non-believer in America. (Or elsewhere in the world.)
When you believe what you have heard (ostensibly from the Bible) but cannot competently go to Scripture (the only authority we have for truth) and show why what you believe to be true is true–then you are just an indoctrinated follower of a cultic system.
Christian Dunning-Kruger
This is Christian version of the Dunning-Kruger effect. It is on full display (and has been for a long time from the Christian religious elite) from the “compassionate” and scripturally abusing moralizing from religious leaders on social issues.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a human limitation in which we believe we understand and have mastery over more than we actually do.
On the part of Christian leaders, an not just a few followers, the problem stems from this warning from Jesus:
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels (Mk. 8:38).
Ashamed. Many times proclaiming the beautiful teachings of Jesus can lead to public popularity…to a point.
For those who are gaining acclaim from man (you know, followers, subscribers, likes) they often find themselves in a quandary when what seems right and is popular with unbelievers (such as “compassionately” allowing ten million illegals to avoid deportation) is suddenly in the public eye. Those eyes turn to the religious leaders who have a platform. They are faced with a choice.
Do I say what will maintain or increase my popularity with unbelievers, or do I stand on the truth of the revealed word.
Too many today are choosing popularity with man.
What would Jesus say to that? Well John noted the following:
But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. (Jn. 2:24, 25)
The Answer to Myopic Compassion
First, if your time with God in his Word is non-existent or only consists of brief devotional readings, fix that.
Repent.
You need copious time in the Word while you sit with the Spirit so that who God is can be increasingly revealed to you.
That way, in future crises, you will not be so easily emotionally manipulated as so many have been this time on this issue.
Second, realize that compassion must be circumspect. “Circumspect” is an old word that means to “look around”. There is more compassion needed in the area of deportations than just what ignorant and biased influencers are showing you.
Getting the full picture of any societal crisis (especially deportation) will take a lot of work today–because those who control media are predominately of the exploitative and tyrannical mindset.
Francis, if you are reading this, send me your address. I’m going to send you a free Bible–and pray that for once in your life you read it. Then, you can get off the throne and let the rightful ruler have his place in your world.
Otherwise, there is a millstone waiting for you after you pass. The “little ones” (Mt. 18:6) are being sex trafficked–you know what I mean. I don’t want that for you.
Watch for part 3 of this discussion, in which we continue the Scriptural search for the solution to the tragedy of mass illegal immigration, and deportation.

Mass Deportation-Myopic Compassion
