I don't know the guy and if Trump chose him I'm sure he's incompetent, but this take is absurd. He's not being chosen to become an astronaut himself, and in any case riding the subway doesn't somehow prepare you for flying to Mars.
While there's some truth to that, and MAGA Christians probably have some convoluted line of scriptural reasoning to support their anti-immigration stance, I would still hold that immigration/dealing with strangers is one topic where the entire Christian Bible (Old and New Testament) speaks with one very loud voice. Hospitality, welcoming strangers etc. are core virtues of a God-fearing life according to the Bible.
