During a recent episode of his self-titled program, MAGA cultist and self-proclaimed Christian nationalist Lance Wallnau faulted the Trump administration's draconian deportation policies.
Of course, Wallnau was not concerned that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids are inhumane and ineffective, but rather that they are driving down church attendance by targeting people who could be reliable Republican voters.
"I work also in the MAGA Hispanic community," Wallnau said, "and the big thing that all the Hispanic [and] Latino preachers—they'll tell you, because they tell me—is they're concerned because attendance is down in the churches. It's a shame that the Christians that are illegal in the country, that have been in the church for 10 years, 15 years, they're afraid that ICE is going to come in and bust up the churches."
"Some of the best citizens you've got are living in fear of being deported," Wallnau continued. "The MAGA base actually has the Hispanic pro-Trump population, the Christians. You got to do a carve-out somehow on those citizens that have been here for 10 years or more that are actually contributing, well assimilated, versus the ones that are coming in, like the Muslim traffic that wants to take over America and declare Sharia law. They you should not have! You ought to be creating some kind of a criteria for prioritizing criminals first."
"If these people that have been working class people and they're serving, they got family here, and they're in church, and frankly, if they're Republican, conservative, I don't want to drive them into anxiety attacks and not voting for Trump because they're afraid they're getting deported," Wallnau proclaimed. "They're not the priority."
