What if you were born into a world where your faith meant you had to mark your body for safety? What if simply practicing your religion put you in danger? Today, we’re diving into a conversation that most people never think about—the hidden struggles of Coptic Christians. These ancient believers, tracing their roots back to St. Mark, have faced relentless persecution for centuries. And now, many of them are seeking refuge in America. But here’s the twist—what does this mean for immigration debates in the U.S.?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with David Mendoza from Young Voices to break down the untold story of Coptic Christians. Why are they forced to tattoo their children for protection? How have they survived under oppressive regimes? And why is the mainstream media silent on their struggles unless there’s a tragedy? We’re pulling back the curtain on a group of people who are fighting for their faith, their rights, and their very existence.

But this conversation doesn’t stop at religious persecution. We take a hard look at U.S. immigration policy and how it impacts people escaping real oppression. Are we welcoming those who share our values, or is the system broken beyond repair? Is America still the land of the free, or have we lost our way? These aren’t just policy debates—these are life-and-death questions for people trying to build a future.

And here’s the kicker—what can you do about it? How can we reclaim the idea of community, of self-reliance, of taking care of those who truly need it without letting the welfare state destroy our economy? David and I break down what needs to change, and why libertarians, conservatives, and classical liberals need to rethink their stance on immigration before it’s too late.

Don’t just watch—engage. Drop a comment below with your thoughts on immigration, religious freedom, and the role of government. Should America change how we handle asylum seekers? Should we be prioritizing people who align with our values? Let’s get real about what’s at stake.
