John Cornyn Touts Support from Pastors with Ties to Soros-Linked Group That Lobbied for ‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | 03/12/2026 | John Binder

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), battling a runoff challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), is touting support for his Senate campaign from pastors who are signatories of the Evangelical Immigration Table, a group linked to George and Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and which has a record of backing amnesty for illegal aliens living in the United States.

This week, Cornyn rolled out his campaign’s Faith Advisory Council, which comprises five pastors across Texas. Among those pastors are Max Lucado of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Dr. Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, and Dr. Gus Reyes of Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission in Dallas.

Lucado, Graham, and Reyes are all listed as signatories on the Evangelical Immigration Table’s “Principles for Immigration Reform.” Those principles include establishing “a path toward legal status and/or citizenship for those who qualify and who wish to become permanent residents,” otherwise known as amnesty.

The Evangelical Immigration Table is a project of the National Immigration Forum, a left-wing pro-mass migration organization that has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations through the years, financial records show.

As far back as 2013, Breitbart News has reported on the lobbying that the Evangelical Immigration Table has been involved in.

That year, for instance, the group took to Capitol Hill to lobby Republicans to get behind the infamous “Gang of Eight” amnesty scheme that would have granted amnesty to most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S.

The Evangelical Immigration Table spent a quarter of a million dollars urging Americans to call their legislators to back the amnesty plan.

The Commie Baptists are as big a problem for the U.S. now as were the Quakers before the revolution.

What has happened to the God-fearing churches that built this country? Satan is what (and is) what’s happening! Dear God forgive us....

America is halted between two opinions

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21

Osteen should be in the dictionary referencing this verse about those who validate their personal preferences rather than preaching uncomfortable biblical doctrine, embracing only comfortable entertaining or agreeable messages.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” - 2 Timothy 4:3

Not impressed.

Not only am I proud to be unaffiliated with any so-called opposition parties, I’m also proud to say that as Christian I am unaffiliated with any so-called religious denomination.

Free in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Master.

Well, Cornyn has said in an interview, he wants another term to push through amnesty. One of only a few reasons I will leave the senate race blank if we can’t get rid of him.

Republicans always promote the sniveling weak types that fall all over themselves for the Democrats. Cornyn has already shown us who and what he is. Beware the ones that say all the right ego boosting things to President Trump but then always do the opposite when it counts. Lindsey Graham is a slithering example. The stiletto will go firmly into the back while this kind steady’s their victim and tenderly offers them help.

McCain and Romney both took a dive in the ring.

Recall:
John Boehner with drunk tears almost weekly fawning for Democrat validation.
Paul Ryan, always ready to fall on his own sword when ordered by a Democrat often even before being ordered.
Kevin McCarthy, like Ryan but dumber.
Mitch McConnell, nothing more than a decrepit Chinese Communist Party tool. His power remains intact only because he is still the ‘mob’ bag-man.

Recall how Trent Lott would be told by the Clinton’s what he was allowed to do or vote on. I always imagined a Craig Livingstone type greeting him with his FBI dossier packet conveniently left behind in the Executive Limo back seat for him to later find.

LBJ’s tax free bill has filled the pulpits with grifters of every sort.

Not rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s is love of money over the love of our Creator.
