I guess the deep thinkers in the MAGA world – the political pundit sycophants, the conservative pastors, their pastors’ scribes, and all the neo-Pharisees who occupy in Moses chair – do not know that “migrant” defines the Jewish people. Migrant and pilgrim are terms that describe the status of believers in God’s Anointed. Christians have been teaching and singing about this all the way. Dual citizenship is not an anomaly. Christians treasure heavenly and earthly citizenship (). Even if Americans of African descent do not want to see themselves a sojourners, what can we say about the horror addressed in the 14th amendment of the American Constitution? It is an abomination that Europeans have not recognized the nobility and stewardship of the Native People of North America, who move from place to place. We know it is not a crime to be a sojourner: ask Moses, ask the Bedoiun of the SArabian Peninsular, ask the Mongolians, ask the elders of your First Nations, and your will see that criminalizing migrants like MAGA plans to do is an abominable crime.

Migrant by origin and lifestyle

Abraham came from Mesopotamia. As far as we can tell Jacob built a ranch to make tending his flocks a little easier on the workers, but Isaac and Abraham tented all over Canaan. Christians take a lot of leads from Abraham. His rejection of building permanent homes is said to be a reflection of his vision of a lasting city, one (a) not of this order and (b) designed by God.

By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. Hebrews 11:9

But Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. Genesis 33:17

For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. Hebrews 11:10

Migrants in the modern era

I suppose a few uninformed people like the governor of Florida, De Santis, might want Black people to feel that they came to America as migrants. The slavemasters, for being cruel and domineering, were the ones in chains, they were the ignoramuses and impoverished of mind. Migrants from the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, and Latin America are not worse criminals than the founders of the Australian nation. Look at who is claiming to be civilized now: a gang of plutarchs and oligarchs, all descendants of Europeans, all devoted to a criminal leader cut from the same cloth as they.

All humans migrated from Africa

I guarantee you that the think tanks have forgotten that at one time the planet was quite likely the site of one large land mass, Even if we are not open to the evidence of one land mass, it is beyond dispute that all of earth’s people trace their origin to Africa (except for those who think we have an alien ancestry). So now let us scan the planet and truly think that we are not migrants. Somebody is going to be in the docket for the crime against humanity of equating migrants with crime.
