I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
I'm so frustrated. I live in NYCity. My building is a coop with many of us residents over 65--one of the highly vaccinated age groups. Our mayor has imposed severe restrictions on unvaccinated residents: no indoor entertainment, no gyms, no tennis courts, no movies, no restaurants, no theater, no sports activities. As he says, "New York is a great city, but you don't deserve to enjoy it if you are unvaccinated." WOW. And most of this city's highly Democratic constituency are fine with these restrictions. I have friends who tell me, "It's fine if you decide to be unvaccinated, but then you have to be able to accept the public health restrictions that go with your decision." In the lobby of my building I overhear three of my neighbors cheerfully gossiping about where they got their boosters and being really pleased that they have topped up their immunity. Vaccines, boosters, mandates, passports are accepted as just a way of life. No big deal. Maybe I would feel the same way if I didn't feel so vulnerable since I have had life long hypersensitivities to drugs. Evidence based medicine hasn't served me well, so I'm definitely not ready to begin taking another lifelong drug.
