Thanks for sharing this data and it feels overwhelming to hear about this flood of people entering our country. I believe in helping others but God put boundaries in place for a reason and this is boundary busting and such an insane decision by our government. Praying now for those who are enduring hardship and praying extra strength for our Border Patrol. where will all these people live and when does God intervene to bring a stop to this flood. Order not chaos is Gods way.

    We must fast and pray for total deliverance of us and the USA. Dear LORD please direct our prayers for ALL of these attacks on Americans. Send YOUR angels to surround and protect us, our family, friends, and our cities in JESUS Name. FATHER GOD let the enemy and his agents fall into the trap they are trying to set for YOUR people in the MIGHTY Name of JESUS! Amen!

    I must admit to great confusion. The White House is considering a requirement for all foreign visitors to the U.S. to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of lifting travel restrictions. Yet, the southern border is fully open and the cases of COVID in those coming into the U.S. are high. Father, it seems like our leaders are talking out of both sides of their mouth, trying to keep those unvaccinated out of the country on the one hand and yet letting all who come to our southern border in. Please show the leaders the insanity of this approach.
