Samuel Rodriguez and I have written a new op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal laying the case for why anti-immigrant rhetoric should and will alienate evangelical voters. Here’s an excerpt:
And while news media fixated on Mr. Trump’s speech to a few thousand people in Phoenix last weekend, an estimated 60,000 people gathered in New York to hear the gospel preached by Luis Palau, a Hispanic immigrant. The event was supported by 1,700 local churches, most of them Hispanic-led and many of them Spanish-speaking. New York, thought of as a stronghold of secularism, is a place where Christianity is thriving, fueled primarily by immigrant congregations that believe the whole Bible and preach the gospel of redemption through the blood of Christ.
