As an Episcopal priest, I agree about the utter hypocrisy of "Christians" like DeSantis, et al., who ignore the Jesus's admonition that "Whatever you do to the least of these you do unto me."

The migrants' first night on the Vineyard was spent at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Edgartown which somehow expanded its shelter for ten to welcome all 50.

The Vineyard, where I have spent several decades of vacations, raised $200k for the migrants before sending them on their way.

Anyone who loves the Vineyard was not surprised.

Laura, as a fellow Episcopalian I was delighted to read the story about St. Andrew's and their welcome of the migrants. Our congregation came together 10 years ago to support one of our Latino members who was facing deportation. Our activist Immigrant Welcoming Congregation team grew from that experience.

Here's a message on Twitter I found more powerful than expressing outrage. Not Christian-related but still...

This is the best thread I’ve found on Twitter, explaining who these Legal asylum seekers are & how the situation is normally handled & how Abbott & DeSantis perverted it:
