When I was 15 years old, I lived one summer with a Mexican family in the small city of Saltillo, in Coahuila, studying Spanish at a school for U.S. students. Because there were no Protestant churches, I used to go to the local Roman Catholic cathedral for Sunday services (built in the 16th century, as I recall.)
It was packed every Sunday, and I've never seen such piety. The people were dirt poor, but, I kid you not. The stone floors of the central aisle literally had two parallel smooth grooves leading to the communion rail, carved by centuries of Mexican peasants crawling to the altar on their knees to take communion!
It left quite an impression on my mind, I assure you.
As Christ said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
So, naturally, I could only shake my head in disbelief when I read this article today...

If you thought it couldn’t get any lower. But it already has:
During the discussion, guest host Chris McDonald attacked CNN’s Jim Acosta for confronting White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the administration’s policy, insisting that the practice of breaking up families “is not America’s fault, it’s [the immigrant’s] fault …If you are here illegally, guess what? You’re family is at risk of being broken up because that is what happens in a law-abiding society.”
Valentine agreed, saying that she spoke with a high-level border patrol agent recently who allegedly told her that the people who are crossing the border illegally are the dregs of society.
“Rape after rape after rape,” Valentine said. “Children below 10 years old engaging in sexual activity. All kinds of sin and disgrace and darkness; the pit of the pits. So we’re not getting the top-of-the-line echelon people coming over this border, we’re getting criminals. I mean, total criminals that are so debased and their minds are just gone. They’re unclean, they’re murderers, they’re treacherous, they’re God-haters.”

She’s echoing Trump’s words directly. Trump used the framing “thy’re not sending the best, they’re sending...”. That’s what Valentine is copying here.
Along with “infest” this attempt to dehumanize children. 10 year old children, is exactly out of the playbook of the KKK, Nazis and other fascist, sectarian organizations. If this sort of rhetoric takes hold in a society, there are numerous examples of it being used to justify ethnic cleansing or genocide.
If you can stomach it, the video clip is below:
Along with peddling her hateful take on “christianity”, this woman has a “beauty” products line that she sells on QVC, Amazon and eBay.
