Let it be known that 80% of white evangelical christians voted to prevent them from becoming our newest and appreciated citizens. 3 times. And even polls this month, after more than a year of this nightmare, show 69% of them approve of Trump's actions (of which 52% Strongly Approved).

It is sad how these "Christians" again twist our faith to be more hate and sear. Not the first time and I bet not the last. This lack of understanding and compassion is very sad.

It is a moving experience. As a citizen who married a foreign national, I attended one of these ceremonies. Of course it helped that Obama was in office, & not some criminal tyrant.

ICE has been surveilling citizenship ceremonies looking for brown people. That is how cruel these people are.
