Trump's immigration policies would have stopped Jesus himself from fleeing.

Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez charged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies were plainly unchristian and would have blocked Jesus Christ and his family from fleeing to safety in Egypt.

The congressman from Illinois slammed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she testified Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee, where she announced that asylum seekers would no longer be able to wait in the U.S. while their claims of persecution proceed through the U.S. court system. Instead, they’d have to wait their turn in Mexico instead, potentially for years, in a dramatic deviation from previous U.S. immigration policy.

But some of what Democrats see as the Trump administration’s past indiscretions on immigration policy also came up — like its now-defunct “zero tolerance policy,” which effectively separated undocumented migrant children from their families at the border.

“Just in time for the holidays, the remorseless secretary,” Gutierrez said, as he accused Nielsen of lying after she tweeted that the administration didn’t have a policy of separating any children.
