Radical Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon used his latest podcast to call for a complete moratorium on all immigration for the next fifty years in order to protect the lineage of "heritage Americans."
Webbon, who has a history of making controversial comments regarding the issues of race and religion, declared that the "biblical" method for enforcing this moratorium would be to build a wall along the border that is patrolled by armed agents who kill anyone who dares to approach.
"For America for the next 20 to 50 years, there should be virtually zero immigration," Webbon proclaimed. "And I'm not talking about illegal; I'm talking about legal. No immigration."
"We need a wall," he continued. "This is merciful, by the way. I'm not just trying to be unhinged. We need a wall. We need guys on that wall, standing on top of that wall, and if someone starts to approach the wall, there needs to be a warning, 'Back away.' If they don't listen to the warning, they need to be shot. They need to be killed."
"That will be the more merciful option because what will end up happening is you'll have a handful of people that get killed and then thousands of people that don't experience the misery of coming and then having to be removed," Webbon insisted. "That is the more merciful option. That is the way biblical justice is done. One is punished and the rest stand in fear. That's the Bible's model."
Webbon is a radical Christian nationalist who believes that the American people are too degenerate, stupid, and cowardly to abide by the Constitution and must therefore be governed by a Christian dictator. This dictator, Webbon believes, must “rule with an iron fist” and force everyone to, at the very least, “pretend to be Christian.”
Under his preferred form of Christian nationalist theocracy, Webbon wants to see the Apostles’ Creed added to the Constitution; abortion, pornography, no-fault divorce, in vitro fertilization, and birth control outlawed; non-Christians kept out of his neighborhood; and every non-Protestant Christian reduced to second-class citizenship.
In 2023, Webbon was among the contributors to a document called “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel.” Drafted by Christian nationalists like Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, former Trump administration official William Wolfe, and others, the document declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.”
In addition to serving as pastor at Covenant Bible Church in Texas, Webbon is also the founder of Right Response Ministries, through which he organizes events like next year’s “Christ Is King: How To Defeat Trashworld” conference that is scheduled to feature a variety of far-right Christian nationalist activists like Deevers, Steve Deace, Stephen Wolfe, Auron MacIntyre, Andrew Isker, and others.
