Like the part of the bible where it says “don’t oppress the foreigner, as you were once foreigners in Egypt?”
More specifically, it says to welcome them into your home. Meaning, offer them guest rights.
But it also says not to oppress or mistreat.
Multiple times for each. If people get pissy about quoting the old testament, there are half a dozen examples from the new testament as well.
In fact, one of the only mentions of an eternal punishment in the Bible, if for people who reject the poor, immigrants, and prisoners.
American Christians know they aren’t Jewish. Like it’s seriously a whole thing for them where Israel needs to be restored to some biblical state in order for the end times to come, but Jews aren’t going to heaven because they will be consumed in the war of the rapture or some bullshit. American Christians are literally a death cult.
