Patriots, we need to have a serious conversation about what's happening in America's churches. While President Trump's administration begins the crucial work of securing our borders and enforcing immigration law, too many so-called Christian leaders are more worried about harboring illegal aliens than protecting the religious freedoms of their own congregants.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: if your pastor is spending Sunday sermons lecturing you about 'sanctuary' for people who broke our laws to get here, while staying silent as your constitutional rights get trampled by the Deep State, you might want to start shopping for a new church.

Think about it, folks. Over the past four years of the Biden regime, we watched as churches were shuttered during COVID while liquor stores stayed open. We saw Christians persecuted for refusing to bow to woke ideology. We witnessed the FBI targeting traditional Catholics as 'extremists.' Where were these immigration-obsessed pastors when your religious liberty was under attack?

Misplaced Priorities

Don't get me wrong—Christians are called to show compassion. But there's a massive difference between helping people through proper legal channels and actively obstructing law enforcement. When church leaders prioritize illegal aliens over the safety and constitutional rights of American citizens in their pews, they've lost the plot.

"Christian leaders shouldn't be more concerned about protecting illegal aliens from ICE than protecting the religious freedom of their congregants," notes a recent analysis that's striking a chord with believers nationwide.

Real Christian leadership means standing up for both biblical values and the constitutional principles that allow us to practice our faith freely. It means supporting President Trump's efforts to restore law and order while caring for our own communities first.

Americans deserve pastors who will fight as hard for their congregation's First Amendment rights as they do for foreign nationals who entered illegally. If yours won't, maybe it's time to find a church that puts God, country, and their actual flock first.

What do you think, Patriots? Should churches prioritize American citizens and constitutional rights, or continue enabling illegal immigration at the expense of their own congregations?

FINALLY someone said it! Our church started talking more about sanctuary policies than protecting our constitutional rights. Time to find a new congregation.

Been saying this for years. When did loving your country become controversial in church? My grandfather would roll over in his grave.

Your grandfather sounds like he had his priorities straight. Mine fought in WWII for these freedoms.

There's a difference between compassion and ignoring the law of the land.

My pastor spent 20 minutes last Sunday talking about helping illegal immigrants but barely mentioned the attacks on our religious freedom. Makes you think about where their loyalties really lie.

That's heartbreaking but not surprising anymore. Time to vote with your feet.

This is exactly what's wrong with modern Christianity - they've lost sight of what really matters.

The Bible teaches us to follow the laws of the land. Why is this so hard for some pastors to understand?

Question: How do we find churches that actually prioritize American citizens and our religious liberties?

Churches need to remember they serve their congregation first, not foreign nationals who broke our laws to get here.
