That there is a crisis at our border is undeniable. However, this crisis is being occasioned by a crisis in our nation’s capital. The hypocrisy of the left is tangible, as the Biden administration opts to throw open the flood gates to criminal activity that includes sex trafficking of minors rather than to promote meaningful naturalization reform that is fair, expeditious, and transparent — so that immigrants can legally become U.S. citizens.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
Meanwhile, thousands of innocent people, many of them minors, are being subjected to the horrors of sexual and labor exploitation due to lax national security efforts at the border, creating what can only be described as an international tragedy. Border states are bearing the financial burden and the negative effects of unprecedented floods of illegal immigrants into their jurisdictions, evidencing a purposed policy travesty. And all of this is being occasioned by the Biden administration and Washington Democrats, for what could only be a desire to see our nation implode, which is undeniably treason.
The federal government possesses legitimate authority only over those areas specifically enumerated within the Constitution. The Constitution grants federal oversight to the implementation of uniform laws of naturalization. It is important to note that this means simply that the power to decide how immigrants legally become U.S. citizens is granted to the federal government. However, the way to deal with immigrants within our borders, most especially with those who are in no way attempting to become citizens legally, is found nowhere within the Constitution. This means that while the laws on naturalization belong to the federal government, the laws on immigration have been reserved to the states.
In the case of Arizona v. United States, a liberal Supreme Court during the Obama administration rendered an opinion expanding the powers of the federal government in this area, beyond what proper constitutional authority allows. This is the prime time for such key states as Texas to nullify Biden’s unconstitutional immigration policies — not only by ignoring them, but also by implementing alternative, effective immigration policies that protect all parties, including innocent and exploited immigrants, U.S. citizens, and the patrol agents within their borders. James Madison warned that we should “take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties,” for if we allow such errors to become steeped in precedent, we will come under tyranny, and if we submit to such tyranny, we become slaves. We are slouching dangerously close to such slavery.
From a biblical perspective, we should indeed have hearts of compassion for “the stranger at the gate.” But even Israel understood the need to confirm the sincerity of the desire of outsiders to assimilate within the community, and Israel took drastic measures to ensure such genuineness among those wishing to emigrate. True naturalization laws function best when the goal and aim is to promote those wishing to become legal citizens, and not to foster those who enter illegally. Our current system of naturalization, with its onerous red tape, serves to discourage and delay legal citizenry — and, potentially, even to extort, through exorbitant costs. If those on the left were genuine in caring for immigrants, they would not ignore the need to streamline the process for legal entrance into our nation, in favor of promoting a massive flood of illegals rife with criminality.
Let us pray for boldness and wisdom for the legislatures and governors in border states such as Texas. Let us pray that what is now being done in darkness will be brought out into the light. And let us pray that this tragedy, travesty, and treason will be stayed — once and for all.
Please share your prayers below for this border crisis and our nation.

Dear Lord, please help us to stand strong and lean into you in the border situation. Enlighten and give wisdom to our leaders to take control and do the right thing. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus.
Lord, You have established our boarders and You have given us permission to defend them, our leader has opened our boarder and over 6 million people have come across we cry out to You give us strategy and call up the exact right people to fight against this wrong. Lord adding insult to injury there are women and children involved and the enemy has been using humans for his advantage—this should not be! Lord we cry to you and pray for protection for those who cannot help themselves and bring a peaceful solution to this situation. You are the God who knows and loves come and do for them what they can’t do for themselves. Hold those accountable who are orchestrating this wrong doing and restore order at our boarder even if it means military assistance. Lord pray through me and for America for the good of all peoples. Amen
Border chaos is overwhelming. This country cannot absorb paying for each of these individuals to be fed, housed, educated. Our government needs to figure out a way to send all these illegals back over the border. The USA is on overload. All the hardworking citizens are paying the bills. We cannot afford anymore to pay our own bills much less illegal aliens. Two plus two does not equal four in this madness.
The physical border is a symptom of our spiritual borders. But, here’s where things getting interesting. One person’s or even a remnant’s prayers will reach God’s ears:
“The men turned away from there and went toward S’dom, but Avraham remained standing before Adonai. Avraham approached and said, “Will you actually sweep away the righteous with the wicked?”
B’resheet (Gen) 18:22-23 CJB
https://bible.com/bible/1275/gen.18.22-23.CJB
“why one man of you has chased a thousand — it is because Adonai your God has fought on your behalf, as he said to you. “Therefore take great care to love Adonai your God. Otherwise, if you retreat and cling to the remnant of these other nations remaining among you, if you make marriages with them and have children with them and they with you, know for certain that Adonai your God will stop driving out these nations from your sight. Instead, they will become a snare and a trap for you, whipping your sides and pricking your eyes, until you perish from this good land which Adonai your God has given you.”
Y’hoshua (Jos) 23:10-13 CJB
https://bible.com/bible/1275/jos.23.10-13.CJB
Father, come, forgive us, rescue us from those who would destroy this nation which You established for Your great purpose. In Your name, for Your fame, for Your glory.
Thank you for the informative article. Please continue to pray for myself, my friend (C.N.), and others like us who cannot find employment now because all the posted jobs say “must speak Spanish”. Even going in person to speak with possible places of employment yields the same results. Businesses only want employees who are bilingual now. We do not live in a border state. We live several states away from the border so I imagine that people who live near the border are experiencing the same difficulties.
You might have a good EEOC Title vii violation based on national origin which includes language discrimination. The employers would have to defend their discrimination against nonhispanics. If you live in a conservative state with a Republican governor and legislature, you could get a law banning discrimination against nonhispanics. Sooner or later we will have to stand up for our rights or lose them forever.
Thank you for your prayer ANA! You reminded me that OUR legal citizens were the real victims with this vicious
onslaught of evil people into our country! I hope all who are praying here also include prayer for YOU and all the
Americans who are the real victims. GOD Bless you all and give you the blessings of life. FYI –biden is being
charged with impeachment for this. I ask the other prayers here to include our citizens in their prayers too.
Thank you all. Blessings to all American citizens.
My comment is about feeding 3 times a day. I worked in a lock up and fed 25 to 30 3 times a day. The cost 35 yrs ago was astounding. Feeding even 3 million a day will come to a trillion. Then social security will be gone. America will implode as medical and dental and housing will be added to it. So we must pray that God intervenes quickly as 3 more million added to what is already going to bankrupt us will certainly finish us off,
Definitely treason. The immigration laws are purposely not being enforced by the Biden administration that wants millions of illegal aliens in our Country for political advantage.
Heavenly Father,
“Not my will but your will be done.”
You have instructed us to ask, seek and knock according to Your perfect will.
So Father,
Please send angels to protect all those who are crossing the border out of necessity to keep themselves and their families safe and alive. In Your mercy, bring them to Godly safety by believing in Your Name.
Please send angels to hinder and block all those who mean harm from crossing our border.
You command us to pray for our enemies, so in obedience I pray: “In Your creative power, bring all those who mean harm to salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ.
Father, bless our President, Joe Boden and his wife, Jill with a holy fear of the Lord. May they bend their knees to YOUR authority and not the authority of the enemy of their souls or the current culture of death. Have mercy on them Father, for they do not know what they do,
Father, I pray what the enemy meant for ruin, you will work for the good of Your people who love You and all those who will come to You through them.
As we wait on Your Son Jesus to return, protect our infrastructures, water and air from any attack of those who hate us and mean us harm who are already here in the United States or those who are far away.
Bless all those who curse us, whose hearts are hardened with hearts of flesh, prepared by You to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
May all our enemies tremble at Your Holy Name and worship You, the One True Living God and Your Son Jesus Christ!
Father,
“With man this is impossible, but not with God. With God all things are possible.”
Father, we pray united in Your perfect love which casts out all fear, in the compassion and mercy of Your Son Jesus Christ who died once for all, and in the wisdom and power that guides our prayers through the most Holy Spirit.
And Heavenly Father, as Your beloved children, we THANK YOU in advance for making a way where there was no way to come boldly and with assurance of what we ask by praying in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
PRAISE THE LORD, who is;
King of kings, Lord of lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to save the one, our Lord and Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer!
To HIM, be all the glory, honor and praise now and forever!
Amen”
Lord, I agree with Denyse ‘s mighty prayer! Keep us all safe and sensible . You are Lord and NOT. the author of confusion. Hear our cry and heal our land!
Lord, thank you as the border is branded today with Espiritu de Jesus, we will see the earth married to you and your purposes fulfilled from Brownsville to San Diego!
TODAY! ❤️❤️❤️
Listen! I hear my lover’s voice. I know it’s him coming to me— leaping with joy over mountains, skipping in love over the hills that separate us, to come to me. The one I love calls to me: Arise, my dearest. Hurry, my darling. Come away with me! I have come as you have asked to draw you to my heart and lead you out. For now is the time, my beautiful one. The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.
Song of Songs 2:8, 10-13 TPT

Lord, we cry out to You: Bring justice to our nation and security to the borders. End the subversiveness and corruption in this government.
“JESUS” the name is so beautiful. We pray in the name of Jesus, as every knee bows, “SAVE AMERICA JESUS”
Laborers (In tra National Missionaries) need to go to share the gospel with foreigners, at the borders and in the cities that have been sent here to the US to destroy and OVERTAKE our nation from within (specifically from C hina).
Master of the Harvest, send your laborers to the borders of our country and to the cities so that YOUR truth will be preached and shared with the lost and hopeless. Give them YOUR truth of eternal life that they may be saved. Remember YOUR word in Genesis 50:20. We know that enemy intends to harm this nation LORD but YOU can turn the enemies plans into good. I praise and thank YOU for YOUR perfect saving grace. In CHRIST JESUS NAME I PRAY. AMEN
Father, You are Lord of ALL the earth. I ask You to reveal to all our Leaders on all levels of Government the path that You have laid out for the USA. You established this Nation and only You have the solutions for this border crisis to be corrected and for all to live in peace as much as it is possible for each person. Change hearts to see Your Wisdom and not our own. Amen
Lord please help us come up with a fair and workable solution to the border crisis. May we secure our borders. May we have the safety and security that is needed. God please help those who need You most. Help the immigrants and help the taxpaying citizens of this country. Nothing is beyond Your power. Amen.
Father, give churches wisdom in dealing with the border crisis. Help us to reach out to those hurting; yet, protect our country and justice. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Lord of the The Angel Armies, Great M&M, Lord of Grace and Goodness, we do bow, ask Your forgiveness, for our sin as a nation, but our own personal sins too, we all have them, even if we don’t want to name them or even fully repent from them…thank You Jesus for YOUR Blood❤️🔥we are asking for You to pour out Your Spirit, love, repentance, a holy fear of You, that not only exposes evil but gives courage to embrace and do good! To cooperate with Your plan even when the people don’t know You as Savior yet, and do save Lord. You deserve the souls, not that lying, thief You made the lake of fire for…come Lord Jesus! Maranatha! May we all be ready! Get oil for your lamp!
Dear Jesus we pray for your hand upon our nation we pray that you will end the corruption in this government. We pray dear Jesus for mercy on those immigrants that are being abused and mistreated and enslaved. We pray for our border patrols and for our states that are receiving the blunt of this tragedy, dear Lord your hand upon this we pray. Please forgive us our sins and I pray that your people who are called by your name may we humble ourselves and pray and seek your face and turn from our Wicked Ways that you will come and heal our land, in Jesus’ powerful awesome name amen
please, LORD, please, save the administrators and legislators. save your people LORD! we know (psalm 2) you will laugh at those who say “THERE IS NO GOD” he who sits in the heavens shall laugh! LORD, we need you to frustrate the tokens of the diviners, the satanists, the rebellious, the unbelieving. we need you to call on your angels and surround Washington DC with your guardian angels! We need U to intervene. Lord! Bring an end to the oppression and war and poverty and ignorance that drives people to pay cartels, criminals, to get them across the Rio Grande river and show up here broke, broken, cold, unclothed, hungry, thirsty, etc. LORD, teach us how to handle this border crisis! what would JESUS have done? would JESUS want us to huse these adult people in our school buildings???amen. by the way, thank you for all the people u have given us to preach the gospel to, may we preach in deed not just words. Amen!!!
We’re unable to continue the donations we’ve been making to organizations such as yours for many years but we applaud your good work. We’re in our eighties and living mostly on social security, Additionally, my inbox keeps approaching 100,000 emails and I’m tired of removing them in the slow way provided. We pray a lot for our world and we believe the Lord is running out of patience due to the evil running rampant on planet earth. Believe Him when He says He will destroy earth again just as He did in Noah’s day. God Bless You real good! : ) Ruth, Alaska
Thanks for the good work you are doing and God Bless You! : )
Father, we repent for our nations sinful selfish prideful ways. We are sorry for being silent when you were kicked out of our schools & communities. Raise up the men of God to speak up and fight for this nation. Give them hearts to fight to bring us back to the Christian values our nation was built on.
Have Your way Lord. We need you now! Save this nation for generations to come. Amen 🙏🏼 Ps 91
“This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.”
Psalms 91:2, 4, 9-10, 15 NLT
I fully support your efforts to stop the Biden regime from destroying our nation but we don’t have enough money to continue supporting more than a dozen such efforts we have been supporting for many years. We’re in our eighties now and living mostly on social security. Additionally, my computer keeps creeping up to 100,000 emails and I’m tired of the slow manner I have to use to erase them 100 at a time.
Keep up the good work and God Bless You! : ) Ruth Lawler, Alaska
