I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray that You would control our border and our immigration system. We pray that Americans would welcome the foreigner as you instruct in Your word, but also that our government would not continue to overwhelm towns like Springfield with dangerous unaccounted-for migrants.

“I’ve asked my staff to take a look at the law and put their creative hats on to see if there’s a way we can get in front of a federal judge to review this situation,” Ohio AG Dave Yost told Fox News Digital during an interview. “I mean, think about this. If it could happen to Springfield, it could happen to any town in America. There has to be some kind of limit to the federal government’s authority to simply continue letting people in and allowing them to run free in the country and congregate in a place like Springfield that’s not prepared to handle it.”

Yost told Fox News Digital that the federal government has “completely mishandled” Springfield, where between 15,000 and 20,000 Haitian migrants have settled in the town of 60,000 …

Yost says the federal government has not properly coordinated resettling those migrants with the town and it is therefore “stressing the schools, the health care system, and the safety net” …

Fox News Digital asked Yost what he hopes the federal government will do in the future to avoid issues like this.

Well, for starters, they need to keep track of people once they’re in the country,” Yost said. “The notion that we’re going to release somebody on a temporary basis, whether that’s on parole or temporary protection or whatever bureaucratic ‘gobblese’ they’re using this week, they ought to know where these folks are, make sure that they can get to court on their court date and if they’re not supposed to be here, that they can be sent home.” …

I wonder why the 20,000 Haitians were not relocated and settled in Martha’s Vineyard?
Just asking since the federal government seems to have the power to place people anywhere.

Lord Jesus, I cry out to You about this crisis of allowing illegal aliens into our nation. This issue is both unnaceptable and dangerous to everyday American life. Please, intervene in the affairs of men, and make a way for President Trump to be elected this fall . Our nation cannot continue to survive and allow these people from other places to continue to overtake our nation and drain from our resources. Thank you Jesus.

We all know that having regulations for immigration is vital for the Immigrants to settle in. I don’t think open boards are good for a city or a town. A city must be able to do a good job helping each one to adjust to the many changes that will come for each family represented. And are we as a country taking care of the needs for our own family’s. If the only reason for opening up our country is for the voting that is wrong and the people suffer.We need to pray for direction and a heart of LOVE to go with the many changes. May God direct and counsel us to do what is right for all.

The powerful prayers of the righteous are needed in this hour for Springfield. The country of Haiti has been plagued with the occult for centuries and they bring those bondages with them. We need to be actively resisting the plans of satan to overwhelm our communities with evil.
That being said, I’m reminded that when the early church was scattered by persecution, they didn’t fear but rather turned the world upside down with their faith. We can’t respond in fear because the world is being scattered and dumped on our doorstep. My prayer is that the Father will use what the enemy meant for evil to be for our good. I’m praying for revival among the illegals that have poured into our country. Many ministries have been to Haiti in the past, now they are here on our turf. Ground we have claimed for Christ is where they walk. Praying for creative, Holy Spirit inspired ideas from Gods people that will route out the darkness and see millions brought to the Savior. Don’t know if giveaways are always the open door since they might take that for granted with what they’ve already been promised. Praying the, like David, we would seek the Lord in every specific battle in order to know His battle plan. Praying for unity among churches to come together and see what God will do when brothers dwell together in unity. Our ever present Father, holy is Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen!

AG Yost needs to tell Biden and Harris to keep the illegals at the border until there’s a plan of how to process them immediately, vet them as to their state of health, where they came from, who will house them, are they being trafficked, what is their means of support (not U.S. taxpayers), and more. Illegals who are just dropped into a city need to be put on a bus headed for Washington to visit Biden and Harris, or to San Francisco to hang out on Pelosi’s huge vineyard properties. Not one of them has been inconvenienced by this massive illegal mess. It’s so obvious that the illegals are only here for one purpose, and that is to gain immediate citizenship and/or voting privileges to “thank” the Democrats for their “hospitality”, by giving them their vote!

They are not being welcomed, they are being dumped, and no city or town should accept them without prior notice and agreement, and a plan of how to integrate them into a society that is very foreign to them.

This is not what God instructs us to do. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us to let terrorists, drug dealers, rapists, etc. into our country.

I am all for AG Yost’s suggestions and criticisms of our government. No state, city, county should have to welcome any illegals. What former President Trump said of all these illegals is so true, they are coming into America and changing our culture. They are not coming in to become citizens, their motive is to change America. The illegals are being call migrants which they are not. They are illegals period. Growing up we were known as migrants because we would leave the state of Texas to go up north and work on the fields. We were all US born citizens and that’s how we were referred to when we would return and start school. As believers and followers of Christ, let’s not buy into the correct language, call the illegals what they are.

How does some billionaire sponsoring immigrants justify letting in tens of thousands that will overload our health care housing education welfare systems. Lots of immigrants are getting out of a country where living conditions are terrible and dangerous. With the numbers people coming in and not being vetted we can expect our loving conditions to deteriorate. They wouldn’t fight to make their country better but you can bet they will fight American citizens and take what they want and even kill us. Remember these countries where they are coming from are emptying their prisons of their criminals who then come to USA to take whatever they want. Also remember liberals and demonrats support this and all the other evil things that are trying to take root in the USA. Trust in God.

People who sincerely follow legal practices to apply for consideration to relocate to the US take years before their applications are approved. Isn’t it cynical for the government to allow unveted people into this country while those coming here legally go through intensive check?

i am not sure about the particular Haitian immigrants in Springfield but I am aware that Amazon sponsors hordes of immigrants to so their warehouse work. I live in an area where Amazon provides not only jobs, but free transportation (and I believe, but am not sure, i think they also help the immigrants
they sponsor find housing. The counties near an Amazon warehouse are quickly filling up with Haitian immigrants, but also Indian and Turkish immigrants as well. Amazon salaries are decent but in no way will these immigrants be well off due to the cost of living, cars, houses, etc., and tgey are basically “trapped” at Amazon because they wont be able to find that wage elsewhere anytime soon. They can get a college degree paid for by amazon but it will take several years. Amazon does take adequate care of the immigrants they sponsor. I would think if the immigrants beibg referred to in rhis article are sponsored and working thete woulsnt be an issue so i wonder how or why they are coming in droves without jobs when Amazon sponsors hordes of them and provides adequate wage jobs and other necessary assistance

For anyone to yell, scream, be obnoxious, get violent we know is WRONG. Other side: I’m a bit tired of us Republicans & Christians being sooooooooooo NICE with how we word things for fear we “upset someone”??? My opinion: if all of “we” could be a bit more like–not necessarily carbon copy–Senator John Kennedy, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Vivek Rameswamy (sp?), J.D. Vance, Bongino, Tucker Carlson, or the like. We NEED THINGS ACCOMPLISHED; NOT MORE talk, talk, talk, committees, “what do you think?” where this keeps dragging on seemingly forever.

I think he’s absolutely correct. I agree with him. This should apply to all of America. Closing the border and deporting illegal immigrants would solve the whole situation.

There is more going on underneath, than we can see on the surface. This is planned. They’ll keep it going as long as they can. Shame on Congress fornot holding the Government accountable.

    The behind the scenes plan is open borders and socialism (socialism is the courting period prior to communism) in every nation. USA’s infastructure is being overwhelmed with illegal and legal immigrants to further bankrupt our nation so the whos who behind all this will have a reason to present to our nation as to why we must do away with capitalism and adopt socialism.

Lord of Life, we repent for our policies that allow human trafficking and illegal drugs to permeate our nation. We understand immigration without restrictions harm immigrants and the native population. Give our leaders your wisdom and understanding to prevent more harm and bring your righteousness and justice to rule once more. We thank and praise You forever. Amen
