Trump vows to reverse course on deportations of Iraqi Christians
Reuters ^ | January 30, 2020 | Ted Hesson

Trump said during an event at an auto parts manufacturer in the city of Warren that his administration would grant an “extension” to Iraqi Chaldean Catholic immigrants, a group that has been targeted for immigration enforcement during his presidency.

“We’re going to make sure that we do everything we can to keep people who have been good to this country out of harm’s way,” Trump said. “When I get back, we’re going to give those who need it an extension to stay in our country.”

Trump hopes to be reelected in November and Michigan, which he won narrowly in 2016, could be a competitive battleground during the campaign.

Trump launched a broad immigration crackdown after taking office that included arrests of Iraqi Chaldean Catholics with outstanding deportation orders in the Detroit area, some of whom had lived in the United States for decades.

Before even running for President, Donald Trump sent $10,000 to the family of then-imprisoned-in-Iran Iranian-American Pastor Saeed Abedini and helped get him released.

This is where it gets a supernatural twist. Pastor Abedini had a vision in prison of a young blond-haired blue-eyed man. He was told in the vision that this man was going to become his friend AND the next Potus in 2016. Pastor Abedini didn’t recognize the man at all among the candidates running for Potus. He thought this vision could be for the 2020 election. He then saw a facebook post of a young Donald Trump, blond and blue-eyed, and recognized his face from the vision! Pastor Abedini then was advocating for Donald Trump to be elected in 2016, according to an pre-election interview he gave to the Huffington Post.

I’m glad you admit paranoia. Because I see a lot of pearl-clutching, whining and conspiracy believers in the comments.

There are Christians facing persecution in the Middle East like never before. This is not news but the fact that there’s a minority community of Christians should not be news here. Give President Trump a ton of credit for this. A ton.

Can’t we appreciate reality and fight for him for re-election?

Trump-Pence 2020!

Agreed!

But then give them a path to citizenship.

Regardless of who it is, it’s ILLEGAL and it needs to be rectified.

Give them permanent asylum.

Stop giving it to less deserving groups

have a good one!

I almost forgot about Pence :) Boy VPs really have a behind the scenes role
