What you are missing about why we are actually enraged is the complete lack of evidence of their crimes or any kind of due process. Everybody deserves to be heard by the court.

Even if you don't care about immigrants, you should realize that if they can be targeted and punished without evidence, then you can be too.

There's a pretty easy out for someone determined to believe in this stuff: their own act of prayer itself was part of God's plan.

Also, these types of theists usually justify these outwardly incompatible beliefs with a distinction between "true" free will and the "perception" of free will. In some people's deterministic view, while God has this omniscient perspective that spans all of space and time, the human perspective is one of the impression of freedom, a sense that feels so real that you might as well call it it simply "free will".
