    My church has a mission partner group where we welcome and help house and settle newcomers. Some of our congregation have even let them live in their basement units, helped them with finding housing, furniture, etc, and just helped them navigate how to do life here, like doctor’s appointments, banking, school, etc. It makes us absolutely livid that doors are closing to newcomers.

      Yea, this meme is an overall sentiment, but the church members that participate in missions are rarely the ones against immigration (from my limited experience, anyway).
