Episode notes
Refugee Crisis Example
- A 27-year-old Iranian woman, a Christian convert, sought asylum in the U.S. but is now homeless in Panama.
- Panama, tired of negative press, released asylum seekers without resources, leaving many stranded.
Aid Cuts and Divine Justification
- Cutting foreign aid and domestic programs suggests a lack of desire to help anyone, not a prioritization of Americans.
- This raises questions about the justification of such policies as acts of God.
Predicted Consequences of Aid Cuts
