Let’s look at the role of Christians and Christian organizations in promoting liberal immigration policies. The meme-brigade on the right is content to emphasize the Jewish establishment’s role in immigration-promotion, and rightly so; that role is clear enough. But more often than not these same people are purposely omitting any reference to the Christians doing the same thing. Classic cherry-picking to obscure the larger picture.
One example:
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffec41375-3d32-40d1-afbf-8c96b358ddd4_989x1280.jpeg)
If you highlight all these liberal Jews doing X thing and then omit all the liberal non-Jews doing the same thing, then you’re being dishonest and distorting reality to make it seem like all and only that one group is doing that thing.
Why do the memers choose to deceive like this? If mass immigration is bad and groups who promote it are bad, then why leave out the Christians (and secular non-religious people) who are promoting it? Why give them a pass and only focus in on Jews who do it?
After observing these people’s behavior on platforms like X, my conclusion is that most of the people who only talk about Jews and immigration are themselves Christians. As Christians, they are hard-pressed to find fault in the actions of members of their own group. It’s much easier to blame it all on an “other” and project moral purity for themselves as victims of this “other”. Same phenomenon with White nationalists who deny the role that Whites have played in the decline of the West. “Not my group, we are victims of other groups!”
So let’s look at it.
World Relief, a Christian humanitarian group, penned an article highlighting historical Christian support for refugees and immigrants. To justify their stance on a religious basis, they cite a bible verse often cited by Jews who support immigration too:
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1f01fb2f-6e4f-470e-bb33-3ecff9d56bd3_760x301.png)
“Welcome the stranger” seems to be the clarion call for both Christians and Jews who have championed refugees and “the vulnerable” in general. World Relief says it’s a “biblical calling” to support immigrants and oppose restrictions on their entry:
In recent U.S. history, Christians have referenced Deuteronomy 24:14 as a moral reason to look out for the good of immigrants: “Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.”
This Scripture has inspired countless people of faith to seek justice and care for immigrants navigating a foreign culture in the United States.
At times of prevalent anti-immigrant narratives, Christians have returned to the Bible’s command to care for immigrants and refugees. At times when the Church forgot its mandate, bold leaders reminded the Church of this biblical calling.
The article cites the case of William Speer, a Presbyterian pastor and missionary, who became a vocal advocate for Chinese immigrant laborers in California in the 1840s and 1850s when Americans were demanding restrictions on immigration.
a vocal advocate for the fair treatment of Chinese immigrants. He used his relationships, knowledge of their language, and workforce data to argue against anti-Chinese legislation and even planted a Chinese Christian church in San Francisco in 1853. During his lifetime, he was vocal in opposition to racial prejudice and left a legacy of successors who contributed to fighting the racist anti-Chinese sentiment and joined with Chinese Christians to lead and channel Presbyterian support for the community.

Next it cites the activities of the Christian organization YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) who aided the millions of new immigrants to the US in the early 20th century:
other Christians formed organizations and associations that helped immigrants integrate into the community. The YMCA in Cincinnati hosted the first known English as a Second Language (ESL) class in 1856 to help German immigrants gain language skill. Additionally, the YMCA served Asian communities in San Francisco. Then, in 1903, the YMCA created a specific department to work with industrial workers and immigrants, a legacy continued through to the YMCA’s present day adult education classes, refugee services, and New American Welcome Centers.
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F97e4ba9d-1dd8-4043-baf6-c6e80fd094e3_877x665.png)
It references the work of Christian organizations, churches and charities who lobbied the US government to accept displaced persons and refugees during and after World War II:
During this displacement, Catholic and Protestant congregations organized to respond. Christians joined with U.S. policymakers to convince American citizens to sponsor refugees. And while the U.S. Government created new resettlement legislation, Christian agencies and churches planned and implemented resettlement efforts, while also advocating before the government. In 1948, the United States passed the country’s first refugee and resettlement law. As a result, the government and Christian agencies partnered to help displaced Europeans seeking permanent residence in the United States after World War II. And to welcome the newcomers into community life.
In a thirty year period between 1950 and 1980, the US government did not provide assistance to refugees, so the Christian churches and faith groups “stepped up to fill in the gaps and help refugees get their footing.” World Relief notes the example of Christian missionary Evelyn Mangham who personally cold-called hundreds of churches to convince them to take in Vietnamese refugees fleeing the war:
a woman named Evelyn Mangham emerged to call the Church to welcome Vietnamese refugees. With 20 years of experience as a missionary, Evelyn Mangham cold-called churches. She quoted the Bible. And she told stories. Because of her commitment to the Church and Scripture, she worked tirelessly to convince churches to sponsor refugees from Vietnam. In the span of a year, she had convinced churches to sponsor 10,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Mangham went on to found the World Relief charity alongside her husband.
The 1980s rolled around and “Christians, alongside Jewish and other faith leaders, advocated on behalf of [Latino] migrants [fleeing conflicts]”. This led to the Sanctuary Movement:
The Sanctuary Movement began in 1980 with a goal: to provide shelters to Central American refugees fleeing civil wars. For instance, churches provided English lessons, basic humanitarian help, and legal aid through immigration attorneys. Additionally, leaders preached sermons, organized protests, and advocated to the government on behalf of the asylum seekers. And hundreds of religious communities provided sanctuary, usually inside houses of worship. At its height, the movement grew to include more than 500 congregations.
The Sanctuary Movement lobbied Reagan to pass “the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. This landmark piece of legislation extended temporary worker visa programs and helped 3 million people gain legal status.”

Two prominent leaders of the Sanctuary Movement were retired Presbyterian minister John Fife (who founded the No More Deaths NGO) and American Quaker James A. Corbett.

World Relief ends their article noting that of the leading nine refugee resettlement agencies working with the US government, five are Christian:
Today, there are nine agencies that work with the U.S. Government to resettle refugees. World Relief is one of them, along with five other faith-based organizations. One is Jewish, one is Catholic, and three others are Protestant.
The UNHCR’s webpage lists ten refugee resettlement agencies that they work with and six are Christian:
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F521e65c2-1a02-416c-8c85-43d9db2750cc_522x610.png)
It’s a similar phenomenon in the UK where 90% of the refugee charities are Christian:
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c7dbc62-2373-4444-b0f7-a8f7fc598aea_632x121.png)
There are also a few Jewish and Islamic groups doing the same there.
Another article on the topic reveals the extensive support American Christians have given to immigrants and refugees at various times. It explains that Christian public opinion in the US is turning against immigration as of late, but it was not always that way:
Before the 1990s, evangelical Christians were busier resettling the newly arrived refugees than banning them from entering the United States. Before they became immigration restrictionists, evangelicals actively endorsed and participated in a large-scale legalization effort for undocumented immigrants (and, indeed, some evangelicals still assist undocumented immigrants in that way). In cooperation with the Justice Department’s Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), evangelical churches across the country helped legalize thousands of undocumented immigrants during the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act’s legalization program.
Signed into law by Ronald Reagan, the reform allowed the opportunity for nearly three million undocumented immigrants to become permanent residents. Among other civil sector organizations, this program enlisted the support of evangelical churches, which provided facilities and volunteers to help interested individuals determine their eligibility and process their applications for citizenship. Nearly all of the major evangelical denominations and organizations were involved – either independently or by participating in the Evangelical Task Force on Legalization run by World Relief, an evangelical relief and resettlement organization.
This support was substantial and essential to the entry of tens of thousands of migrants into the US:
For evangelical pastors, the legalization program was an opportunity to minister to and serve those marginalized by society, as well as a way to solve problems relating to immigration issues in their own pews. While INS officers provided the training and the forms, evangelicals offered the public space, equipment, and volunteers to process legalization forms and determine applicants’ eligibility. Throughout the duration of the program between May 1987 and May 1988, the Task Force established twenty-eight processing centers as well as eighty-five counseling centers in the churches of its member denominations. At the end of the program, 14,518 applications had been submitted to INS through the task force, and 70,000 individuals had received counseling on their eligibility.
Once again, they cited biblical passages to justify it:
In their efforts to help legalize undocumented immigrants under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, evangelicals drew on many Scriptural commands to show hospitality and “welcome the stranger.” They had previously cited these commands when they helped resettle refugees from Cuba in the 1960s and from Southeast Asia during the 1970s and early 1980s. In their efforts to attract refugee sponsors and volunteers for their ministry to undocumented immigrants, evangelical leaders explained that the Bible was filled with stories of migration and replete with commands to the people of Israel to protect the sojourners in their midst. They stressed that extending a welcoming hand to refugees was not only in line with, but was imperative in light of biblical teaching on the care of foreigners. Helping refugees was a direct response to Christ’s call to help “the least of these my brethren” and to both Old and New Testament commands to practice hospitality toward the sojourner.
Another article mentions Evangelical Christian assistance to Cuban and Asian migrants:
Evangelical leaders have called on Christians to “welcome the stranger” since the early 1960s, when evangelical churches started getting involved in the resettlement of Cuban refugees through the U.S. government’s Cuban Refugee Center…. This was not just applied to coreligionists: The same denominations and organizations that had resettled the Catholic Cubans in the 1960s (though these were not viewed as fellow Christians, either) continued to resettle refugees from Southeast Asia in the 1970s and 1980s, many of whom where Buddhists. Southern Baptist volunteers held Americanization and ESL classes at the refugee camps in Arkansas (Fort Chaffee), California (Camp Pendleton) and Florida (Eglin Air Force Base), where the refugees arrived. They built relationships with the refugees and guided them through the day-to-day activities in the camp. In fact, some of the volunteers were former missionaries to Vietnam, who – unable to continue their missionary work on site – discovered that their mission field had relocated with them. They were an important resource for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which gladly accepted their services as language and sometimes cultural interpreters.
While this pro-immigrant sentient is starting to change among the general Christian public in the West, the Christian church leadership is still mostly on board with globalism. The Catholic Pope Francis is the most vocal proponent for open borders.

Pope Francis has been one of the most outspoken globalists in the Vatican, calling relentlessly for more liberal and tolerant immigration policies. He has called the rejection of refugees a “grave sin”:
Working to turn migrants away from the prospect of peace and security in a new country is “a grave sin,” Pope Francis said. “It needs to be said clearly: There are those who systematically work by all means to drive away migrants, and this, when done knowingly and deliberately, is a grave sin,” he said during his general audience Aug. 28.
As Trump comes into office, Pope Francis just appointed a liberal Bishop to be the next archbishop of Washington:
Cardinal McElroy, 70, is a longtime supporter of the pope’s pastoral agenda, and is known for regularly speaking out on the inclusion of migrants, women and L.G.B.T.Q. people in the Catholic church and in the United States.
At a news conference at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington on Monday morning, Cardinal McElroy directly addressed Mr. Trump’s immigration proposals, stating that plans for a “wider, indiscriminate, massive deportation across the country” would be “incompatible with Catholic doctrine.”
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33f58153-f5fd-41c9-86ba-b999ce9004b1_1478x547.png)
Catholic charities are heavily involved in lobbying for and directly assisting the entry of migrants into many Western countries. The International Catholic Migration Commission itself says Catholic groups are responsible for resettling 30% of the refugees who enter the US:
The nine national refugee resettlement agencies of the United States, including the Migration and Refugees Services of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have urged the U.S. Administration to increase the number of refugee admissions to the country. They call upon the president to authorize the arrival of 62,500 refugees by the end of September 2021.
In a 9 April letter to President Joseph Biden, the nine U.S. national domestic refugee resettlement agencies urge him to honor his commitment of increasing refugee resettlement opportunities. Among the agencies is the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC)’s national member, Migration and Refugee Services of the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Conference, which assists in the resettlement of approximately 30% of refugees to the country. Its resettlement network includes over 100 diocesan offices across the country.
An article on the subject tells us this:
USCCB affiliate Catholic Charities boasts assistance to an annual 650,000 migrants on the record, each of whom received legal counsel, jobs, transportation, food & shelter, and contacts for further assistance inside the country. The Catholic Legal Immigrant Network (CLINIC) claims offering legal assistance to an additional 500,000 annually. Assuming no overlap, as much as over 1 million immigrants are receiving legal aid & transportation from the Catholic Church every year.
An array of services and lawfare is offered by the Church and its countless subgroups. Catholic Charities focuses on so-called “respite centers”, also known as migrant camps. The large tent cities you see on the news are not random but in fact built and maintained by NGOs such as CC. They operate on *both* sides of the border. Once across, they feed, wash, clothe, and bed migrants. After a rest, they meet individually and give legal counsel and a plane or bus ticket to the next center with instructions on who to meet and when. Have you wondered, “who paid for their transportation? Who pays for the hotels, the brand new clothes?” Chances are high that it was your church.
CLINIC alternatively focuses on legal assistance to migrants, public advocacy, lawfare training, and lobbying. It is the US’s largest network of immigrant activist programs, founded by the USCCB in 1989. Its website promises free services including direct legal representation, family reunification, and VISA acquisition. On top of this, it is also one of the most prominent immigrant lobbying groups in the country. CLINIC was personally responsible in stifling a number of Trump’s immigration reform policies, including ending permanent residency for refugees and requiring refugees to prove “credible fear” in an interview with a federal official. Additionally, they offer counsel and training to legal groups on the state and local level. If there is a legal matter involving an immigration policy, CLINIC has its hands on it. As of writing, CLINIC is working on getting Temporary Protected Status and permanent residency for thousands of Palestinians and Congolese wishing to enter the US.

There’s no proof all five of these five staff members are Jewish, they could be German, but let’s break it down further. This is a cherry pick of five names off a list of 58 staff!

You can compare that with the between 250 to 350 million that HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid) gets depending on the year.
In 2017, 100 Evangelical leaders signed a letter blasting Donald Trump’s Muslim immigration ban:
Scores of evangelical leaders, including at least one from each state, have taken out a full-page newspaper advertisement to denounce President Donald Trump’s temporary ban on refugees, urging him to reconsider his executive order and welcome people fleeing persecution and violence.
Signees include Pastor Timothy Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York, Christian author Ann Voskamp, Bill and Lynne Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church, preacher and author Max Lucado, Pastor Eugene Cho of Quest Church and Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals.
These are some of the Bible passages Christian groups have used to justify their pro-immigration stance:
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F31e74954-118b-4ba0-8772-19d038c87649_892x921.png)
The evidence for this goes on and on.
Some Americans trace mass immigration from the third world back to the 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration act and put all of the blame for that squarely on the Jewish groups and Jewish congressman Emmanuel Cellar for its passage. But Christians were also involved and central to its success.
Philip Hart, the bill co-sponsor, was Catholic. Ted Kennedy, a big supporter of the bill, is Catholic and cited the familiar “welcome the stranger” bible passages to justify his support. Ted Kennedy continued to support progressive causes long after the 1965 immigration bill:

The Irish Catholic Kennedy family, especially John F. Kennedy, were instrumental in forwarding the general civil rights movement in the 1960s as well as immigration reform to abolish the national origins quota system. The Democrat capture of the house and senate in 1960 laid the groundwork for the passage of civil rights bills. Cofnas reports:
Kennedy’s election in 1960 “ensured that immigration reform, though not a priority for the new administration, would find a place on the new president’s agenda” (ibid.: 55). In 1965, Johnson was president, and Democrats controlled both the Senate (68–32) and the House (295–140). Graham comments: “These circumstances, especially the egalitarian thrust from the civil rights movement, virtually ensured that the 89th Congress would be pressed by the White House and the congressional leadership to abolish the national origins quota system in 1965” (ibid.: 56).
What the JQers often leave out of the discussion is that, while Jews played a strong role in pushing for immigration reform, so did Italian Catholics who formed a lobbying group to pressure the congress to pass the 1965 Hart-Cellar bill. The Irish Catholic Kennedy family of politicians led the charge for civil rights, including immigration liberalization:
Immigration reform was also a personal project of John F. Kennedy, Chin notes, whose pamphlet written as a senator was published after his assassination as the book A Nation of Immigrants, and argued for the elimination of the National Origins Quota System in place since 1921. Ted Kennedy, along with Attorney General and Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.), were both proponents of the bill, in part to honor their brother and also because it was consistent with their general interest in civil rights and international cold war politics, Chin adds.
Renewal of the system was particularly offensive to groups that represented Italians and Jews, who had been particularly affected by the restrictions. The American Committee on Italian Migration conducted an intensive lobbying campaign. Publication of A Nation of Immigrants was a project of the Anti-Defamation league of B’nai B’rith, which had been impressed by Sen. John F. Kennedy’s record of supporting liberal immigration laws, including measures to accept refugees from war-ravaged Europe. The book was actually written by a member of Kennedy’s staff, Myer Feldman. Describing Kennedy’s participation as minimal, Feldman said the senator had “reviewed it, and did some editing.”10
While Kennedy was one of his era’s most outspoken reform advocates, he used a 1957 speech to the American Jewish Congress to make clear that he did not favor unlimited immigration. He stated his conviction that “we should have a system of limited and selective migration to the United States.” Kennedy’s principal objection with the status quo was about “the nature, not the existence” of restrictions. Asserting that a selective policy was necessary, he said that policy should “give preference to an immigrant because he is a nuclear physicist rather than because he is an Anglo-Saxon.”11
Kennedy was aware of the political as well as the ideological value of expansive immigration policies, especially in northern states where immigrants and their families were concentrated. In a 1955 letter to fellow Sen. Lyndon Johnson, he wrote, “The Democratic Party must do something to fulfill its 1952 pledges concerning revision of the McCarran Act if it is to have any appeal in the large cities of the North in 1956.”12
That Italian-Catholic lobbying group rarely gets a mention when talking about the Hart-Cellar bill, but it was important:
The American Committee on Italian Migration (ACIM) was organized in February 1952 as a member agency of the National Catholic Resettlement Council, which later formed part of the National Catholic Welfare Conference (NCWC). From its inception, ACIM’s chief objective was the liberalization of the United States immigration policy that, as delineated in the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, rested upon a restrictive “national origins” quota. ACIM undertook a wide range of activities, from raising funds to sponsoring new Italian immigrants into the United States and promoting new immigration legislation by Congress. This collection contains additional materials donated to CMS by ACIM in 2003, mostly documenting ACIM’s work in the 1970s-1990s. The collection contains office files and case records pertaining to lobbying US Congress regarding immigration law, and to the assistance of Italian immigrants in Italy and the United States.
Pretty much all of the groups who were being excluded by the national origins quotas were inclined to support the reforms:
John Higham described the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act as a “blatantly discriminatory” effort “to freeze the existing balance of ethnic strains in the total American population” by sharply restricting the arrival of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe. “Since the brunt of the restrictionist attack was aimed more than ever at the supposedly racial qualities of the new immigration, it stung the Jews, the Italians, the Slavs, and the Greeks deeply,” Higham wrote.
The Hart-Cellar Act and most other major civil rights acts were passed by Lyndon Baines Johnson’s administration after JFK was assassinated. Johnson’s “Great Society” bills created the modern civil rights/welfare state.

On the immigration issue, Johnson had this to say:
But as Johnson delivered his first such address less than two months after becoming president he became an energetic advocate of the reform. “We must … lift by legislation the bars of discrimination against those who seek entry into our country, particularly those who have much needed skills and those joining their families,” President Johnson said. In a reference to the legislation’s use of preferences to replace national quotas, he added: “A nation that was built by the immigrants of all lands can ask those who now seek admission: ‘What can you do for our country?’ But we should not be asking: ‘In what country were you born?’”
Johnson was a fervent Christian who cited his religion to justify his stand against discrimination. He “believed in the brotherhood of all mankind, in racial and religious tolerance, and in the integrity and dignity of the individual.”

I’m only counting two Jews out of 29 people.
Without the Kennedy family, LBJ, Hart and other Christians (including all the hundreds of other Democratic congressmen and senators), that bill and other civil rights bills don’t get passed.
If we move onto modern politics, we can find plenty of politicians who identify as Christians promoting the same open borders globalism that Jewish liberals like George Soros have been spearheading.
Joe Biden, an Irish Catholic, said it’s a “good thing” Whites will become a minority in the US.

Merkel’s father was a Lutheran pastor and theologian and she was raised in a religious environment. She was “deeply influenced by her father”. Merkel’s biographer noted that she “was more intensely affected by her family home and the Christian faith than she was by her study of physics”. She was quoted saying that she is a believer in God, she attends an Evangelical church, religion is her “constant companion” and “the Bible is the book that has most influenced her life”. She also said Germany’s value system was based on Christianity.

Frans Timmermans, a Dutch politician and former Vice-President of the European Commission, is one of the most radical advocates for diversity and open borders.

One of the loudest advocates for open borders and charity to Africa is singer Bono, an Irishman who was raised in a religious Christian household. Wiki mentions that his lyrics “frequently include social and political themes, and religious imagery inspired by his Christian beliefs.”

Jamie Drummond, a board member of Bono’s charity, said this: “As Africa’s population doubles they will be coming to Europe… and that is a good thing because we will be senile…we need their youthful energy.”
It later came out that Bono’s charity gives only 1.2% of its donations to poor Africans and pockets the rest.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. In the entertainment world, you can find plenty of Christians or people who were raised Christian who champion liberalism and globalism. One was “anti-establishment” comedian George Carlin, an Irish Catholic.

The intention of this article is not to cast aspersions on all Christians or blame them for what the Christian leadership has done. I argue the same point against blaming all Jews for the liberal stances of their elite. Fortunately, the majority of Christians are turning against mass immigration and reject the globalism of their elites.

I could make another article showing all the non-Jewish and non-Christian atheists who support the same open borders globalism that the Jewish and Christian elite do. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that there is no single group that’s responsible for the implementation of globalist/liberal policies. The memetards who suffer from tunnel vision want us to blame exclusively Jews for immigration, but the preponderance of the evidence shows there are many more people involved from different ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Let’s blame all of the culprits not just some.
