Defining Reality and the Paradox of Immigration in America

Leadership requires defining reality, a fundamental responsibility for both church and political leaders. The detachment from reality, as exemplified by influential figures like Donald Trump, leads to harmful narratives about immigrants, contributing to societal division. Trump’s portrayal of Haitian migrants and other immigrant groups fosters a vision of reality that many accept, resulting in negative actions against these communities. Despite a significant portion of immigrants being Christian, there exists a contradiction among conservatives desiring a more Christian America while simultaneously opposing the influx of immigrants.

Ultimately, the narrative of immigration in America is deeply intertwined with misplaced perceptions and societal outcomes.
