Any sense of raising our hand and saying ‘wait a second, we weren’t considered, we’re suffering her too.’ And the response is something like… you’re racist or you’re a bigot, why are you so anti-immigrant, » Newman said. »There’s tension in the community, much like the ways that tension has arisen in the past when there have been new members to move into an established area, » the Rev. Adam Banks of First Baptist Church told Fox News Digital, adding that his experience with migrants has been generally positive. »They have joined right in helping with the sound system, sharing special music, sharing their lovely voices, reading scripture, providing leadership in various capacities in the congregation, » Banks said, adding that he will continue to « welcome » people who « want to celebrate the gift that each person brings and magnify God. » …Read moreBLOCKED: House GOP rolling out bill to block China, American adversaries from accessing US ports …Read more’RESPECT OUR WARRIORS’: House GOP veteran proposes key benefit to aid deployed service members …Read moreSHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN: Johnson faces major leadership test as GOP wars over government shutdown …Read more34 TO 1: Trump-Vance ticket has done combined 48 interviews since last month compared to only eight for Harris-Walz …Read moreCASH DASH: Harris brings in big bucks in 24 hours after debate with Trump …Read more’ONLY OPTION’: Trump adviser Alina Habba hits campaign trail to attract Arab American support in swing state Michigan …Read moreCOMMUNITY ‘UPENDED’: ‘It’ll upend the community’: PA town roiled by talk of migrant housing in Civil War-era orphanage building …Read moreNO ME GUSTA: Half of Latinos haven’t heard of ‘Latinx’ term, overwhelming majority don’t like it: poll …Read moreDEFIANT FANI: Fani Willis likely to defy Georgia state Senate subpoena ahead of Friday hearing, chairman says …Read moreTOUGH ON CRIME?: Gov.
