Y'all who agree with the President's remark to the effect that we ought not to let people from "shithole countries" into the good ol' USA are perfectly entitled to your opinion, as long as you acknowledge that it represents a distinctly unchristian point of view. Jesus pretty clearly condemned to eternal damnation (see Matt 25: 31-46) the nations of the world that showed no compassion for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the victims of injustice--in other words, nearly every single inhabitant of the countries so crudely denigrated by Mr. Trump.
Don't know about you, but I'd prefer the Kingdom of Heaven to eternal damnation. With that in mind, I'll continue urging my Senators, Congressman, President, and anyone else who'll listen to respect citizens of impoverished nations and do whatever we can to lift them up.

Why do you assume the best way to help them or show compassion to them is to bring them all to America uprooting them from their native lands and destroying our own Nation??
Compassion would be to help them build up their own nations. I'm curious how much of your own paycheck you are sending over to those nations to help those families buy food and clothing? What are YOU personally doing to help them (not by your taxes but beyond that)?? Because while yes we have Christians (the church) in America-- He called the CHURCH to do that, not the Government. And certainly America has shown Compassion on those nations for many many years, we send billions a year to help them build schools and educate them, and we send food to help feed them..so what exactly are you talking about???
God also tells us to take care of those in our OWN Household first (lest your worse than an infidel) our OWN Household would be those in our OWN country.
Why aren't you demanding the leaders of those 'shithole' countries to do MORE for their own people? Building up their own nations, so they do not want to leave?
