So that is how they are able to afford all those gas stations, and hotels/motels as soon as they step off the boat. They are already wealthy. I think that is the same with the Moslems. From what I seen, they open businesses right away in very expensive markets like a DDs in NYC. They never actually worked for anyone or earn their way to owner class except working for their fathers in their father's business.

Experts say that Christian-associated support for right-wing politicians and social policies, such as legislation related to immigration, gun control and poverty is best understood as Christian nationalism..."

"Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has referred to herself as a Christian nationalist. Fellow congresswomen Lauren Boebert and Mary Miller have also expressed support for Christian nationalism. Kris Kobach has described himself as a Christian nationalist. White nationalist Nick Fuentes has expressed support for Christian nationalism..."
I don't believe any of that. The issues of immigration, gun control and poverty are unrelated to Christianity.

I will say that when it comes to poverty, Christians give more than any other group in the US.

My family members grow a great garden and give all of the extra veggies to their neighbors who range from Italian to Greek to Afghani to Indian. The old Afghani couple is very sweet and considers my family member to almost be a second grandson to them. The Afghani couple cooks my family members absolutely delicious food allll the time. Homemade, from scratch. When my family members moved into their neighborhood in Jersey City, there was a bad ice storm that year and some of the ice froze and ripped off part of the siding of their home. My family member’s Hispanic neighbors helped fix it for them for free because the Hispanic guy was quite handy and did it just to be a kind neighbor. Believe it or not, diversity really isn’t that big of a deal and everyone can get along. It may shock some of you living in far less areas that people of all different races, ethnicities, religions, and customs are pretty much your typical average joe schmoes for the most part and are concerned about the same things you are too - like simply providing for their families and trying to make day to day ends meet. Love going to Jersey City to visit….last time we went we went to an absolutely amazing old school Italian deli for lunch. Then at dinner went to a place a few blocks away for Egyptian food. It was absolutely incredible. I mean how many places can say they have those kinds of options available? Much better than boring suburbia with strip mall after strip mall that all have the same restaurant chains serving mediocre food.
