The Crisis at the Southern Border

I have no problem with people helping the poor and oppressed. But that should be by choice, not by having the feds forcing tax payers to do it. There is a difference you know.

Matthew 25:44 - 46

We have to be careful following man's laws. They may be legal and the rule of the country but are they part of God's plan. If I could not find or afford food for my children would I have the courage to make a perilous journey to find a better life. Most are not criminals and most have not paid thousands to get here. There is no excuse for the way children are treated when they arrive here. I can find no Bible verse to justify their treatment and imprisonment. I cannot ask God to bless America but ask him to forgive America.

Simple, build the wall, and enforce our laws. This is happening because people are willfully ignoring our laws and suffering consequences. This father, had he survived, should've been charged with negligence at the very least. The only tragedy here is that people are committing crimes, including with their kids, and we're supposed to destroy our nation for them.

I am a compassionate Christian but also believe in the rule of law. The Bible tells us to obey the laws of the land and, just in the natural, without laws a country falls apart and everyone suffers. I make the effort to keep myself informed and I watch and read a lot on all this.  It is true if Congress just closed the loop holes on what "asylum" actually is, according to several border agents and leaders I've heard speak, most of this influx would stop. Congress will not do it's job for political reasons. I feel compassion for all people "including Americans", who've had loved ones murdered by illegals who are felons but are still here, and who are being overlooked. God is compassionate but is also always on the side of truth and He tells us in His Word to obey the laws of the land. If we investigate who is behind pushing illegal immigration and sanctuary cities etc. it reveals what is really happening. The current ICE director, Mark Morgan, is caring and truthful. He worked in the last administration but is not partisan. He is just on the side of truth and doing right by our country. He is appalled at Congress' refusal to make the changes needed to stop all this. I can't imagine going into another country, storming their border, throwing rocks at their agents, cursing that country out, waving my home countries flag, and acting as if I'm entitled to be there illegally and on it's welfare system! This is what is happening here in our country, the USA. It is not right. I realize not all act this way but most do as I've seen with my own eyes. And sadly, it's the drug coyotes using the illegals as pawns in their own game for money. Also, terrorists are taking advantage of this. It is a fact that most people coming here seeking Asylum are not really here for that reason. When given a court date 93% "do not" appear (say the border agents) but disappear into our country. This really upsets me. The photos of that father and child who drowned are heartbreaking. Playing politics and breaking down the rule of law benefits no one. 

Thank you for touching on this topic again after one of many images that are just heart-breaking and pull at us as Christians. I  Think we should be encouraged to Think of "how we should respond" not as citizens, but as Christians. Similarly we should be thinking of "God-honoring solutions"  that protect our borders and again, not just our citizens, but all of God's children.
