Of course, it is not fair to question the Episcopalians alone on this.
Their resettlement contractor is the second smallest of the 10 contractors in the industry. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) dwarfs EMM.
Forbes reported that USCCB affiliate Catholic Charities USA, which has its hand in all aspects of immigration and seems to get money from every government agency except NASA, received $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars in 2021. That’s 68 times more than EMM got that year.
It was never intended that the sponsoring organizations, formerly known as “Voluntary Agencies,” would be purely federal contractors, with all the behavior, untoward incentives, money, and influence-peddling that this brings, not to mention questions of church-state relations which are never raised in this context.
In order to get the Christians on board, they've been giving them a slice of the immigration hustle.
I wonder to what extent Christianity is a dead religion being propped up by grifters. How many “Christians” don’t even go to church? How many “Christian churches” are essentially anti-Christian progressive charity scams?
Every local Christian church has two common characteristics: they are all aggressively pro immigration, and they are all mostly empty on Sundays.
I guess I was more focused on people thinking you have to attend church to be a good Christian. The church is very valuable you are right, they can help the community and provide advice.

Church is unnecessary if you are a Christian. It's there to guide the people struggling. And if you dont struggle with keeping faith it's useless .
Church as the center of the community is theoretically quite valuable. It serves the opposite purpose when captured by non-Christians, though.
I didn't think about that, I agree.
