Rev. Warnock Speaks in Front of Signs Calling to Abolish I.C.E. and Imagining No Borders
We have been provided a link to a photo on the Ebenezer Baptist’s website – https://www.ebenezeratl.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Ebenezer-Banners-SocialJusticeMinistry.jpg – that shows Rev. Raphael Warnock in front of signs that state “Abolish I.C.E.” and “Imagine the Earth Without Borders.” A color corrected version of a screenshot is shown below in case the original is removed.
Rev. Warnock said in a debate with Sen. Kelly Loeffler that he was not in support of defunding the police, but this photo raises some questions, even for pro-immigration supporters like myself, about his stance on an important governmental agency that handles illegal immigration and issues at our borders.
There is also the issue of a country (and world) without borders. Again, legal immigration is one thing, but the logistics of a completely open border in the United States would be impossible.

If this photo raises questions, they are bad questions like: “Does every representative represent every viewpoint of every constituent?” or “If someone flashes a white power hand sign behind a candidate, does that mean the candidate is a white supremacist?”.
Also: “If Reverend Warnock imagines a world without borders, does he also believe in other John Lennon lyrics, in particular, does he imagine there’s no Heaven?”
(Note: I think the actual lyrics is about “no countries”.. not borders. But curse the idea of imagination and underlying idea of peace between humankind this fine holiday season. )
Still, I prefer this form of extremism in attention to detail above extremism in over-generalizations re: socialism and such.
The above being said, I think there remains a need for the Reverend to address the issue explicitly- again. I did not see police reform issue on brief search of his website. I always preferred the language to “re-fund” the police, if anyone is still looking for a more accurate and appropriate formulation of policy.
