Count me out, Islam is a religion of hate and death, I know I grew up in it. So immigrants that subscribe to it are not friends. Also, leftism is wholly un-Christian, and the founders of every branch of leftism, openly hated Christianity. So siding with them on the issues is hardly advisable for a Christian.

That is great! I like Holy Post. You can really learn things too...❤

I remember being very afraid of Somali refugees when I moved to Minnesota. They were Muslim, of course, and I had been taught that Muslims were not just wrong, but that they were evil. They believed in killing non-Muslims. Then I started working for a nonprofit in town that served some Somali families and I learned that many of the people that I feared were actually American citizens. They were born here, spoke English, and were more like me than I realized. It takes personal interactions with those that are different than us to help us get over the fear that we have. Hopefully more from the church recognize that these immigrants coming here are an amazing opportunity to show Christ’s love and to welcome more people into the family!

They're simply immigrating to the United States in the hopes of achieving a better quality of life for themselves and their families. Those who are opposed to such immigration are totally unaware of the myriad of hardships and dangers that many of these migrants have faced just on their journey to make it to the United States only to be treated like this by some within the American population and especially an entire political party that places maintaining political power and profits for themselves over the value of human life.

Great summary of US immigration policy, Skye! I am a historian who specializes in US immigration and ethnic history. I would add that Asian immigrants were barred entirely by law, and those already living in the US were not allowed to become citizens. Their US-born children, however, were citizens by birth under the 14th Amendment. Not until 1952 were Asians allowed to immigrate and become citizens; however, the quotas for Asian countries were miniscule. By replacing the quota system with hemispheric ceilings and adding the family reunification preference, the 1965 law finally allowed Asian immigrants to come in large numbers. The current "visa lottery" system still greatly restricts immigration, though, and probably limits Asian immigration the most.

Wow. Thank you for posting this video. I think we all needed to hear this message.

The Supreme Court had to pass a law in 1967 (Love vs Virginia) so that it became legal in all states to have interracial marriages. About 20 years ago, I recall my mother, a Southern Baptist from southern MO, asking me to find a nice white girl to marry... This was when I was studying Japanese and was dating a Japanese gal. I loudly told her, "I will not tolerate such racist crap from you!" And that was the end of that dinner time discussion. Later, I married that gal.

Yeah well there used to be a reason for the prohibition that has been forgotten since. A white couple in my church who were married, had a baby. It was black as the ace of spades. The husband accused his wife of infidelity, but she denied it. They ended up separating and were about to get divorced when a wise person told them to put that on hold while he checked into their family history. It turned out that about six generations previously , one of their ancestors ( I forget if it was the husband's or wife's) had married a black person. And the genes were carried down until the result was this black child. Was this a very disruptive and awkward thing? You bet. That's why I don't think interracial marriage is wrong...but it can result in some nasty situations down the line. My personal policy is no splicing!

Slight correction: the case is Loving v. Virginia. At the time 24 states still made it illegal for a White person to marry a Black or Native American person, and 13 states still made it illegal for a White person to marry a person with Asian ancestry. In some cases, those laws are still on the books, and following the Dobbs decision 2 years ago there has been a movement in several states including Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Florida to overturn both Loving, Obergfell (gay marriage) and Lawrence (the ability for gay people to freely associate). So whatever you think of abortion rights, the decision to overturn Roe means that your marriage is now on the table if you aren't in a marriage that is to someone of your own race.

Good morning from the beautiful SF Bay Area. Really well said, Skye, thank you for putting it all out there in a plain and simple way that people can understand it. The history of American Christian racism is shameful and everyone needs to stop it.

This a lot Skye. I have a MA in Ele Ed and in the late 80's took American History 201 and 202... I really liked after the Civil War at the time it was taught. I do have some Schema ... Background knowledge for this teaching. I did know some of the facts but about 40% is new knowledge for me. I dont know if they teach all of this in AP History or Hs history now or not. You need to make more videos like these and longer. I have probably asked top HS teachers and College ones to please do a review of American History several times, since 2016 and so many times Ive heard things that people really just didnt know or remember. Well this is great! Keep it up!!

I appreciate the history lesson. I live in Houston, which is one of the most diverse cities in the country. I love the diversity. I’m not even sure what being an evangelical Christian means to most people. I was adopted by Jesus in 1985. None of my Christian friends have any problems with people legally immigrating into our country. As someone who lives on a border state, I know firsthand the horrors and atrocities that happen because of illegal immigration. These horrors and atrocities are happening to the people trying to come here illegally. We need our government to fix the immigration system so that it is much easier to get here legally. In the current system, human trafficking, illicit drugs and potential other dangers are real. It is heartbreaking to hear of a stories of abuse to women and children. Open boarders are not the solution. For too many reasons to share. By the way, border security is an important issue. Last month alone, 30 Iranians were caught illegally crossing the border. Some were on the terror watch list. So yes to legal immigration and vetting of those desiring to seek a better life, but realize it’s not so simple. Write your representatives to get them to overhaul the whole system.

But as today I just read a post by John Pavlovitz that 'hope is irrational-choose it anyway'. I continue to hope. And to be thankful for true Christian voices. I also had a thought in this video that perhaps the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 was due to not wanting them to come to America. ???

Great video, as usual! My only criticism is that either your green screen setup isn't properly lit or the editor just needs to watch some more tutorials on how to correctly chroma key the footage. Nothing is easier to chroma key than footage of a man with a shaved head, but the fuzzy, grey, wiggling borders around Skye here are a bit distracting.

This video legitimately made me cry…thank you for speaking truth

Great video!

I like this one issue focused kind of presentation.

Good recap. Thx.

Excellent video. One correction though, the US isn't the "most ethnically and religiously diverse place that the world has ever seen." It's about average. The top 20 most ethnically diverse nations are all in Africa, and east Asia is the most religiously diverse region. That said, all the points made in the video still stand, but I think it's important to get things like this right.

Excellent video. I love the George Washington quote. Very insightful.

I have ancestors in what would become the United States, both sides well before the Revolutionary War. I knew most of what this clip presented. It is weird , I am not fearful or resentful that our country is becoming diverse. It seems most of the people I know who want to keep America White, what ever that means, ancestors came here during the great wave this clips reports. BTW I am a white Evangelical, but now go to a Church that is diverse and also Evangelical. Got tired of being shun in the previous church because I advocate to actually follow Jesus. As far as non-christen immigrant goes, I may not be able to travel to his country of origin to preach the Gospel but I can love on him and lead him to Christ, this is an opportunity.

It' not about white, it's about having the little Christianity that remains being replaced with Islam , like is happening in France, Germany, England and Scandinavia. This guy doesn't seem to get that immigrants are no longer coming here because they want to be "American". They come here because they know that the idiots running the country will hand everything over to them and they can colonize...they have no intention of assimilating. Look at Minneapolis and Detroit...Muslims are taking over. Look at the muslim reps they elected to congress one of which said her boss was the president of Somalia .

Great, thorough job of covering this issue. You are amazing, Skye. I support broad immigration to the USA, especially for refugees. I've even volunteered in refugee assistance. I do wonder if we in the USA are doing a disservice to the world by accepting so many immigrants. How much better would India have been if brave, strong, bright men like Skye's father had stayed in their home countries and improved them? No one but me ever seems interested in this question.

Wonderful presentation, perfect message! ❤

By the time I was 9 years old I learned all of Americas hypocrisies.

I am as conservative as it gets and absolutely do not believe that America should be anti immigrat. If they do they need to repent. Each and every legal immigrant should be welcomed, respected and seen as an image bearer of God whom is loved enough to be given the Gospel. “Being nice” to them (if they are indeed not saved) is just making their journey to Hell more comfortable. A major reason why I am pro immigrant is due to the fact that, by and large, Americans will jump through hoops to seek out excuses not to work. A labor shortage, which our nation is witnessing right now, hurts everyone as it drives the cost of literally everything up. We spend less because we can’t afford it, then businesses in turn suffer. I will give one random example: I live in suburban Buffalo, and there is a small business which manufactures and distributes briquettes, for BBQ sets. They have literally been displaying a “Help Wanted” sign which includes that: -They will not drug test -They will not do a background check -They will pick the applicant up Literally pleading for workers. Now granted, I have no idea what exactly this job is, what it pays, etc.

@@russellcharlton7814 I mean, I wasn’t hiding that. Yes, LEGAL immigrants should absolutely be biblically welcomed and seen as image bearers of God to America, or to any country they seek to relocate to. Illegal immigrants should also be seen as image bearers of God, but that does not negate the fact that they broke federal law and will need to face the legal consequences. And yes, in some cases that means criminal prosecution at worst or deportation at best. I will say this, and I honestly don’t think many would disagree with me: The SOLE exception I would say is permissible is in the scenario where a person, or a family, somehow, someway, made it across our national borders in an escape from a country to which if they were to return would literally kill them, say, for religious reasons, political reasons, etc. (Obviously, North Korea would be the big one that immediately comes to mind). In that narrow set of circumstances, yes, I absolutely would support and would say that person or persons should be allowed to stay here. Whether Christian or not Christian, conservative or liberal, almost all people acknowledge that they vast, vast, vast majority of immigrants come to, or want to, come to America for a better life and better future. They simply have to do it the legal way. Deuteronomy 27:19. Exodus 12:49.

@@patrickc3419 Laws can and have been easily manipulated to prevent entry to foreigners/immigrants. That was a huge callout in this video when they discussed the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924 preventing specific people from entering the US. The idea that so many victims of the holocaust were turned away from entry to the US is appalling to me, and many attempting entry today are escaping something themselves. "Love thy neighbor" is to simply accept those in need, rather than forcing them to jump through a dozen hoops in order to gain access to this the safety they seek in this country. The story of the Good Samaritan was not one where the Samaritan first verified if there was any legality they needed to consider before helping. Instead, the Samaritan simply provided clothing, food, shelter, and aid, and used money from his own pockets to do so. There's a reason many of these illegal immigrants attempt to enter illegally. The laws and processes in place prevent very little chance for many to seek the refuge they are looking for, and many will risk death trying to cross rather than risk being returned to their home country. Living in by far the wealthiest country in the world, I believe we have not only the means but the responsibility to aid others in their time of need, regardless of the whether they've all jumped through the appropriate legal hoops.

Thank you for sharing great and informative content. I do agree we need to make it easier to immigrate her and for refugees. My husband family immigrated and I can see all the benefits. At the same time, I live in NYC and there is another conversation about the illegal immigrants. I almost feel like they are two different conversations but connected because if we made it easier to come people wouldn't come illegally. We are not prepared for this many people in NYC. I wish we were, we make food, my kids and brought coats as so many from. southern countries aren't prepared for this winter and at the same time how does this end. I hope this is a series because it seems a lot more complicated than this video

Eugenics, the 'natural' outgrowth of an elaborate but untestable theory called evolution. The history of immigration across the western hemisphere raises some serious questions, especially about the controllers of the many policies and the outcomes of those policies. It's interesting to see some of the quotes from some highly influential individuals in the UK in the late 1800's before looking at the shameful episodes of ships being turned around.

Back in 2017, I was surprised at the vehemence towards immigration (blatantly towards illegal, subtly towards legal) I saw from fellow white evangelicals who claimed to be pro-missions, even in Bible studies. I saw it as a way for more effective missions, as instead of short missions vacations, foreigners were now our neighbors which means there was an opportunity for true relationships. I was young and more innocent at the time, so I bought a lot of the self-righteousness I heard from some church members and pastors, and assumed it was just a matter of lack of knowledge. More and more, I have seen it as unacknowledged fear cloaked in noble terms of protection. Our fears can expose our idols, and those of many of my compatriots proved to be their ethnic identity and their wallets. It was a contributing factor in my decision to start taking more personal responsibility for my beliefs, instead of using an institution as a proxy.

If we say an essential aspect of Christian orthopraxy is an openness to unrestricted immigration legal or otherwise in the name of "love of neighbor," then that essence should hold true for Christians all over the world. If Christians in Japan or Taiwan, for example, are not advocating for their country to be open to any and all forms of immigration and the removal of all restrictions on multiple citizenship, then we can say they are missing an essential aspect of Christianity and not acting truly Christian. I don't think it's the case that openness to all forms of immigration is an essential aspect of Christian orthopraxy though. I think there should be openness to immigration but there must be limits and restrictions as part of good order. Christians in America are pushed to believe that any talk of limits and restrictions goes against "love of neighbor," while the same people pushing that idea are fine with not making it an essential part of Christian orthopraxy in other countries.

Your comment makes no sense. France is only France, because of waves of immigration beginning with a group of people called the Romans, followed by a bunch of guys in boats from the north who landed in Normandy (we call them Vikings or later Normans), Then there were the Franks. They came from Germany. The original population only lingers in Breton, and Gascony. By 1800 you had significant Moorish, Jewish, Roma, Haitian, and even sub-Saharan African populations living in France. The UK has so much immigration in its history that it had at least two black kings or queens before Elizabeth I. You have Celts, Picts, Irish, Vikings, Germans (Anglo-Saxons), a slightly different mixture of Vikings and Germans (called Normans), and Romans, and that's just before 1066. You've got Moors, Jews, Roma, and Visigoths all fleeing persecution in Spain or just immigrating in the 14th century. You have Flemish, French, Provencal, and Swiss Huguenots in the 16th century. Dutch immigrants flee persecution in the 17th century. You have Jamaican and Barbadian and a dozen other non-white populations coming from the colonies beginning in 1776. There is no idealized UK population, contrary to whatever conspiracy theory you are listening to.

I know no one concerned about color, but the folks I know are saddened that so many do not believe in the triune God of the Bible. Growing up in the 60's and 70's I remember most families going to church on Sundays. On Good Friday almost all stores were closed from 12-3. People had respect for Christianity. I realize this may seem superficial, but there was definitely a better moral compass in the country in general. ( or at least people had respect for God and didn't throw blatent sin out like something to be proud of). Heck, Joan Baez sang hymns at Woodstock, acapella. . Of course the Bible does state that there will be a great falling away and that the road is narrow and few there be that find it.
