A country singer’s tirade against President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda and ICE has gone viral and quickly earned him new fans after he called out the hypocrisy of the president’s Christian supporters.

“You don’t get to call yourself a Christian and then advocate and fucking laugh when families are torn apart outside of courthouses, when people [are] trying to come here the right ways,” singer Bryan Andrews told his over 500,000 followers on Instagram last week in a self-described “crash out.”

Andrews posted a series of videos on TikTok speaking out against Trump’s immigration agenda while promoting his new single, “The Older I Get.” His speech has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms.

“You are not Christian. You use Christianity as a shield to hide behind when you need to justify the hate that you have scolded into this world,” he continued.

His latest single - #1 on iTunes now - with lyrics you'll love - lyrics here: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bryanandrews/theolderiget.html

The older I get I hear "it's just business"
When these crooked politicans
Line the pockets of their rich friends
Knowin' you and I
Gotta pay the price

The older I get I wish that Christians
Tried to be a little more like Jesus
But I guess all those poor and sick kids
Just can't buy that house of white







I didn't see a Wikipedia page for him but did find an article from 3-1/2 years ago that fills in some of his background: https://www.upstarmusiconline.com/post/bryan-andrews-is-paving-his-own-path-in-country-music-with-songs-like-i-pray

backtracked a bit after he came under fire: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/zach-bryan-opens-up-about-controversial-ice-song-im-on-neither-of-these-radical-sides

Bryan Andrews by comparison seems fearless.

But coming here "the right way" is still a popular right-wing talking point. There didn't used to be a "right way" to emigrate to the US; you just showed up. When non-white, non-Protestant, non-English-speaking immigrants began to arrive in large numbers, that's when the white, Protestant, English-speaking majority put up barriers to anyone who wasn't. Then they could point accusatory fingers at anyone who tried to arrive the same way they did before they put up those legal barriers. "They aren't coming here "the right way"."
