A guest on Tuesday morning's 'Fox & Friends' suggested that the Bible says it's OK to refuse the requests of the migrants at the border who are seeking asylum. "From a Christian standpoint, it talks about who are the poor? Right? It's the women and children. And what you'll see at the border it's probably like 90 percent adult males," Christopher Harris of Unhyphenated America told host Steve Doocy. Harris also asserted that the words on the Statue of Liberty's plaque, such as, "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," are irrelevant to the nation's stance on immigration because they were added after the statue went up. His comments come after the release of a photo that shows a mother and her two young children—both wearing diapers and one without shoes--fleeing from the tear gas released by US border officials. That measure was taken after a group of migrants, some throwing rocks, rushed the border and has been criticized by many as being far too severe. President Trump was quick to defend the action, describing those making the approach as "very tough people," and said, "Here's the bottom line: Nobody is coming into our country unless they come in legally."
