I'll make a deal with you, we'll apply a more medieval solution to any and all no matter their origin, and we'll see who's most affected.
So far there haven't even been any accusations of Haitians eating humans in America. Zero dividing by anything is still zero. But that's the funny thing about racism. It requires people to look at other people in terms of a group identity while allowing their own group the benefit of being individuals. Looking "per capita" the Haitians you're concerned about are less likely to be on drugs and more likely to show up to work on time than the white people around them "per capita." The white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters in Springfiled Ohio were complaining that the Haitians had more welfare on their EBT cards than they did. I don't think refugees should be given welfare. But considering that they got it, this is what most likely happened. One person or more people in the household were getting EBT while others were working factory jobs. Since they didn't need the EBT and it rolls over each month that's how they were able to stack up $3,000. Trump was correct that people who were upset about him not paying taxes should change the law rather than bitching about him for taking advantage of it. Same with the migrants who stack up EBT. Maybe EBT payments shouldn't roll over for anybody. Certainly it shouldn't be given to migrants. But these white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters could get off drugs and go get a job and get to work on time. That's what you would say if they were black and complaining about not getting enough welfare. And even people arguing against the Haitians haven't brought forward evidence that they aren't being paid above minimum wage. Example:

But today, a new threat is endangering the livelihood of Springfield's citizens: Employers are actively displacing the domestic workforce by hiring newly-arrived immigrants from Haiti. All this at a time when 7 million American men between the ages of 25 and 55 are unemployed, and almost three quarters of the U.S.'s employment growth has come from immigrants since 2019.
And not everyone is embarrassed to admit it.
"I wish I had 30 more [he currently employs 30 Haitian workers," CEO Jamie McGregor of Springfield-based McGregor Metal, explained it this way during his PBS News Hour interview. "Our Haitian associates come to work every day. They don't have a drug problem. They'll stay at their machine; they'll achieve their numbers. They're here to work. And so, in general, that's a stark difference from what we're used to in our community."
Oh wow! Shame on that employer for wanting hard working workers who aren't on drugs, come to work on time and hit their numbers! Shame on him! Something should be done about immigration for sure. Venezuelan gangs are a real problem. Haitians eating cats are a made up one to cover up the inadequacy of drug addict MAGA hat wearing welfare recipients.
Didn't Bible people practice slaughtering and sacrificing animals?
Should people be able to practice their Religion as they see fit?
You do realize that that medieval solution would apply to you, right? You can't be that ignorant.
One man's God is another's Devil.The Bible condemns sacrifices to false gods and devils.
Devil worship was never covered by the 1stA and should not be tolerated.

I have heard the Pope is considered the Devil.

I could be mistaken but I think America specifically has "Freedom of Religion."America is and always was a Christian country, the farthest you can stretch it would be the other Abrahamic religions.
Send them back and let them do as they wish in Haiti, GOD will punish them there without us getting caught in the fallout.

What is a Religion to one individual could be deemed a cult by another.
From ChatGPT:
Religion is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of belief systems, practices, and values, and it doesn't exclusively refer to belief in a deity like God. It can include various spiritual beliefs, rituals, and moral codes, regardless of whether they are centered around a traditional concept of a god or gods.
In that context, a person who practices Satanism or any other belief system could certainly consider their worship a religion. There are different forms of Satanism, some of which focus on individualism, self-empowerment, and philosophical beliefs rather than the worship of an actual deity.
Ultimately, the classification of what constitutes a religion can vary widely depending on cultural, social, and personal perspectives. It’s a complex and often subjective topic. What interests you most about the definitions and interpretations of religion?
is Voodoo considered religion
Yes, Vodou (often spelled Voodoo) is considered a religion. It originated in the African diaspora, particularly among enslaved people in Haiti, and incorporates elements of African spirituality, Catholicism, and other influences. Vodou involves a belief in a supreme god, spirits (known as lwa), and practices that include rituals, prayers, and offerings to connect with these spiritual entities.
Vodou is often misunderstood and misrepresented in popular culture, leading to stereotypes that can overshadow its rich cultural and spiritual significance. Like any religion, it has its own beliefs, practices, and community structures. If you have more specific questions about Vodou or its practices, feel free to ask!
@Swordsmyth
You can't have it both ways. Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his son.
The story of Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son Isaac is a significant and complex narrative found in the Abrahamic religions, particularly in the Bible (Genesis 22). In this story, Abraham is instructed by God to sacrifice Isaac as a test of faith.
From a theological perspective, many believe that Abraham was indeed following God's command at that moment. This act is often interpreted as a profound demonstration of faith and obedience, showcasing Abraham's willingness to surrender what was most dear to him.
However, the story raises deep ethical and moral questions about faith, obedience, and the nature of God. Different religious traditions and scholars interpret the narrative in various ways, discussing themes of faith, sacrifice, and divine testing.

You are mistaken because you've been brainwashed by satanists.
Freedom of religion was never meant to include religions that violated Christian morality, otherwise murder would be legal for Thugees etc.
He's not mistaken and you don't need to be pointing fingers at others and screeching, "Brainwashed!"
Your threshold for what "violated Christian morality" has nothing to do with reality. You jump from condemning murderers to deporting people for paying homage to deities that you call Satan so fast that one wonders why you have such contempt for the logical steps in between. Those steps are important. For instance, they protect people who are foolish enough to climb from "this candidate is less evil" to "anyone who disagrees with this candidate, even if it's Ron Paul, is wrong" by causing reasonable people to stumble during the climb.
Prophets, saints, " divinely empowered" kings and preferred presidents are all traps the devil uses to lure us into violation of the first two commandments. Those who bite on the lure of one shouldn't condemn those who bite on a different lure. Judge not, and all that.
Another devil's advocate heard from.

Next time you catch me sacrificing animals to the devil to cast spells we can talk.
