No, Pete. He wasn't born a refugee. The guy who has been lecturing Christians on how they got it all wrong has gotten it all wrong. And note no mention of Jesus Christ. He's now just a spark if divinity, along with MS13. If you vote for a demon, you are simply an idiot.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg faced a flurry of criticism on Christmas day after he suggested that Jesus Christ entered into the world as a refugee.

"Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth, who came into this world not in riches but in poverty, not as a citizen but as a refugee," he tweeted.

His tweet came just days after the 2020 presidential candidate released his plan calling for a significant increase in refugee admissions and setting an admissions minimum of 95,000.

Buttigieg's policy paper specifically recalls Biblical language to support his vision for immigration. “I was a stranger and you welcomed me," the paper says, referring to a passage from the Gospels.

But conservatives argued Buttigieg's understanding of the Bible was off the mark.

"Joseph and Mary went to their ancestral home in Bethlehem for a census," conservative commentator Matt Walsh tweeted.

"n no sense did Jesus 'come into this world as a refugee.' There’s also no reason to think that Joseph was particularly impoverished. So nothing about this tweet is correct," he added.
