 "Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." 

Saint Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 36-40, King James Version

As a non-Christian, but a respecter of the teachings of the historical Jesus, I wonder if those teachings are alive and well today in Brownsville and the RGV where we have actual immigrants on our bridges.

Of course, we do have the Diocese of Brownsville Immigration Services, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, Proyecto Juan Diego, and the South Texas Immigration Council to help immigrants navigate the legal hurdles, but also the Good Neighbor Settlement House, where meals are served, hygiene kits are offered, and dignity is restored daily to migrants, the poor, and the unhoused. These are not just services, but acts of compassion that seem to harmonize with Jesus' words quoted above.

OK, I know Trump once held up a Bible, but does he reflect what it teaches and, if you're a MAGA follower, do you?
