Rep. Eric Swalwell Likens Jesus, Mary, and Joseph to Illegal Migrants on Christmas
Breitbart ^ | 25 Dec 2025 | Olivia Rondeau

Posted on 12/26/2025 9:09:04 AM PST by Olog-hai

Far-left Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) likened Jesus, Mary, and Joseph to illegal migrants in a Christmas Day post depicting a nativity scene being raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“May this be the last Christmas we live this nightmare,” the California congressman wrote on X, along with a photo of spray-painted ICE agents breaking into the Bethlehem stable where Jesus was born. […]

The prevalent left-wing claim that Jesus was a refugee is considered by many Christians to be historically inaccurate. As Breitbart News’s Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., described, Jesus was born in Joseph’s ancestral hometown of Bethlehem, after which his parents fled with him to Judea when King Herod set out to kill all baby boys. The family temporarily settled in Egypt, which was part of the Roman empire at the time. They returned to their home in Galilee when Herod died, and Jesus spent most of his growing up years there. …

I liken Swillwell to a frozen turd on a San Francisco sidewalk on the Chinese New Year.

Joseph was taking his family to his HOMETOWN to register for the Census.

Read the book, Moron.

Jesus was whatever it is most useful to Democrats for Him to be.

Might be trans next week. Or child of a single mother. Or Palestinian. etc.

And Jesus NEVER left the Roman empire during his lifetime.

They’re so stupid yet they think they’re so clever .the metaphor collapses in the first instant. Not illegal immigrants; genuine asylum seekers. And they self deported at the earliest opportunity

Luke 2: 1-4

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

Not an immigrant, not a foreigner. Joseph went to his home.

I’ll give Swalwell one credit. He sets the bar for stupid.
Only those who elected him can compete.

They weren’t illegal aliens. They weren’t getting government freebies, eating at IHOP and TEXAS ROADHOUSE and voting for DemonRATS. They planned to go home once they were counted for the Census. Most of all, they weren’t waving Mexican flags and burning American flags along the way. Swillwell is an idiot. The boy isn’t up on his Christmas knowledge, is he?

Apparently he hasn’t read the Bible. Mary and Joseph were ordered by Roman authority to return to their home jurisdiction for census purposes. They were Roman citizens and they were “invited”.

“”I’ll give Swalwell one credit. He sets the bar for stupid.

It begs the question.... is Swalwell really that stupid? Or is he just a typical Democrat liar, counting on the stupidity of his constituents to believe his lies? One wonders.

Swalwell is nothing if not stupid.

And he has to say crap like this because he’s a minority in his own district:

“The district’s ethnic composition is 38.0% Asian, 25.6% White, 24.8% Hispanic, 5.1% Black, 4.6% identifying as two or more races, 1.1% Pacific Islander Americans, and 0.8% other”

One more census and the White people will be third in line on the census. Fang Fang’s relatives will be far more likely to get elected. Or maybe Ro Khanna’s cousins.

From the article:
The congregation’s nativity scene “reimagines the nativity as a scene of forced family separation, drawing direct parallels between the Holy Family’s refugee experience and contemporary immigration detention practices.”

This is where leftwing ‘Christianity’ lives, breathes, and has its being ... in reimagination. In other words, they live in a narcissistic, childish, fantasy world, because they do not know much of anything except their own predilections (a nicer word than appetites or lusts).
