Jana Reiss: LDS Supported Hitler And Are Supporting Trump For The Same Reasons

That's just greedy.

To be fair, he wanted to make a trade with Denmark and give them Puerto Rico in exchange for Greenland. In Trump's shrewd mind, he realized Greenland was much bigger.

Brigham Young was, very clearly, a racist by ordinary twenty-first century American standards. There can be no serious question about that.

But his was a paternalistic racism, not the toxic racism of the Third Reich.

Ah, that’s okay then…

If only Mormons had a divinely inspired leader who could guide them in these latter days and so avoid repeating the mistakes of previous generations…

Perhaps they did so have back on June 10, 2011, when fairly admirably the LDS Church issued this statement:

The Church has spoken a number of times about the issue of immigration. Specifically, it has spoken in support of the Utah Compact and has described the package of bills passed by the Utah Legislature, taken together, as “a responsible approach” to the difficult question of immigration reform.

The Church’s position is based on three basic principles:

The commandment to “love thy neighbor.”
The importance of keeping families intact.
The federal government’s obligation to secure its borders.
The Church appreciates the package of bills that the legislature had passed, including House Bill 116. The Church feels that this package was a responsible attempt to address the principles outlined above.

The February 28 Deseret News editorial, "A Model For The Nation" also accurately reflects the position of the Church regarding immigration reform, including measures that will allow those who are now here illegally to work legally, provide for their families and become better contributing members of our community—but without establishing a path to citizenship or granting amnesty.

The Church may speak further on this subject if it is necessary to refute any misunderstandings or correct distortions of its views that have found their way into the discussion taking place on this important topic.

As you see in coming months the U.S. military ask people for "their papers" to find those to deport, and images flash across the television of actual deportations, reflect on what the Bible reports Jesus having explained in Matthew 25:40: "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." So the Christian Right in the U.S. is kicking Jesus out of the U.S. when it kicks anyone out. "Onward, Christian soldiers... ."
