I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we care for the children coming across the southern border, but we must be wise. We need your wisdom and so do our elected officials.

The Biden Administration is paying for undocumented unaccompanied minors’ legal counsel in proceedings about whether they have a right to stay in our country. This is just one small piece of the crisis at the border.

From Blaze Media: Starting last year, the Biden administration began doling out huge chunks of taxpayer money to a radical left-wing nonprofit organization for the specific purpose of helping illegal immigrant minors avoid deportation.

“While the federal government often engages in the contracting and funding of nonprofits, they typically try to avoid dealing with overtly political institutions. Not this time,” wrote Adam Andrzejewski, CEO and founder of government watchdog group Open the Books.

Andrzejewski’s organization reported that in March 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services entered into a $158 million contract with the Vera Institute of Justice to “provide immigration related legal services to unaccompanied minors…”

In addition to funding from the HHS, the institute also received five additional contracts totaling $36.8 million from the Department of Justice to provide legal services for family groups, unaccompanied children’s custodians, and the “immigration court help desk,” Just the News reported

When reached by Fox News for comment last month, a spokesperson for the institute said that every year, “thousands of immigrant children are placed into court proceedings in which government prosecutors seek to deport them unless those children can prove they have a right to stay in the United States.”

“Many children face these immigration proceedings alone,” she continued, noting, “Many children have legal options that establish their ability to remain in the United States (such as refugees, trafficking victims, and survivors of crime and abuse), but these options are nearly impossible to access without the assistance of trained attorneys. Other children require legal assistance to seek to voluntarily repatriate to their countries of origin…”

Andrzejewski wrote that because illegal immigrants are not citizens, they aren’t entitled to public defenders. So, “to fix this, the Vera Institute has created an entire workaround to U.S. law where, even though illegal immigrants aren’t entitled to free legal representation, the government still pays for it through organizations like the Vera Institute.”

On its website, Vera states that it “is committed to ensuring that every person facing deportation receives legal representation regardless of … history with the criminal legal system.”

I’m all for protecting children who are fleeing abuse or trafficking but for the government to go throwing money out Willy Nilly with no recourse to be sure that they are cared for is reckless especially to the young. Perhaps churches could help with legal immigrants. Right now if you can physically cross the border you’re in. If these hoards of immigrants can break our laws with the government’s endorsement and means to travel further into the country, why should they feel compelled to abide by any other laws?

We are living the last days. Days when evil is good and good becomes evil. The hearts of men are desperately wicked above all. It do difficult to see a truthful person in the government.
Salvation is personal.
Choose good and save your life.
Looking to Jesus the author and perfected of your faith.

This is inappropriate on so many levels. This is to a proper use of government funds. It is vile to grant $158 million in taxpayer dollars for almost anything but most especially illegal aliens. If this issue is so significant, then the churches should pick up the banner and fight, or leftists should contribute their dollars to this initiative, not tax dollars. Biden is using American tax dollars for the sole purpose of fighting against the US government. Does this seem just a little more than corrupt? How many of these children would this $158 million plus another $38 million feed, clothe and educate? Giving this money to a bunch of bureaucrative attorneys is nothing short of wicked and corrupt. Lord, where there is evil help us root it out. We seek to protect children everywhere, including the countries in which they live. Help us to help them build their nations, through outreach programs designed to lift them in their own nations.

The Marxist Communist Spirit Cooking Marina Abrsmovitch Jeffrey Epstein Tony and John Podesta Democrats Have been videoed and photographed and seen on social media that they post pictures of children being hung on the wall with sad faces or tied to chairs with sad faces. Podesta has the stuff hanging in his house as art. People have come forward and said that they are part of child sex child sacrificed rings that the CIA FBI have been a part of and other FBI agents have come out and try to expose it. Hillary Clinton’s fake charity took children from Haiti and nobody knows what happened to those children. The Biden administration took in illegal migrant children at the border and then after a while they couldn’t account for where the children went. And then marina Abramovich the Hollywood celebrities love her as she does Satanic rituals with bathtubs of blood semen breast milk urine and human figures that are pregnant submerged in the bathtubs and then Hollywood celebrities like Lady Gaga Jay Z Beyoncé Madonna Gwen Stefani and many others are there at the parties eating cakes that look like naked bodies eating the breasts and the private parts chopping them up. And they dip in the semen breast milk blood urine concoction up and seem to be eating it this is all on film and video. Marina Abramovich is a Satanic child sacrificing child sex Satanic ritual leader and the Hollywood celebrities and the Podesta‘s and the Obamas and Bidens and others seem to follow her and the Hollywood celebrities are filmed with her . So of course they want to keep flowing in poor little helpless children that they sacrifice and use for their demonic purposes and they are also sex trafficked and sold for horrible things. That is why we have immigration laws to stop these horrible people from doing this to innocent children. It is not helping children to make them sex slaves in this political game of evil .

What is Biden doing that is so harmful?
President Trump used tax payer money to save churches from bankruptcy. So why is there a difference?

There’s a couple ways that we can help change this. We have to fight against it. The vast majority of taxpayers don’t agree with their money (it’s not the governments money!!!) – it’s yours and mine. Those being represented are NOT legal citizens.
If this was okay, then you would have a chance to vote on it. You don’t. They used covert, sneaky, behind the door scheming to get around it. That has become the norm for a administration that didn’t legally win the last election and possibly, certain other elections.
Pray for this ongoing situation to erupt into the public eye repeatedly. Pray that whatever was hidden will become completely visible in the light. No matter how hard they try to excuse, justify sand continue cover-up lies….ask God for full exposure. Then take action with your reps and be relentless. Tell them you protest this. Ask them why non-citizens are being helped at taxpayer expense that never had public full disclosure regarding expenditures. Those who were behind this will use the age old “they’re just children that need help” card. Don’t fall for that game of distractions. This is wrong and it’s up to us to start the exposure.
We cannot continue to dump millions of dollars that “we don’t have” correcting a problem that was very well under control with the last administration.

President Trump was sent to us from God at a time of crisis that existed in our great nation. Starting with the Clintons when a President acted in a serious sex crime with one of the lady government employees using a cigar lighting in her vagina and was not prosecuted because of the lefts protection. In that terrible act before God and the world we saw the left act out their worst in our nations dignity with our Holy Creator watching. Next his wife ran for President and her secret activities with her government computer in her house created many secret documents. She was not prosecuted. The left protected her. What a black eye on our great God given nation. Next came Obama and his deceitful Vice President Biden. Together they sought to find Dictatorship in Presidential orders of taring down all of the good set forth by a gift from our Creator God giving us President Donald Trump. This man set our country on a course of success and future prosperity. Then Satan’s man worked his way into office seeking Dictatorship. And most of the left is stupidly blind and can’t see through his crooked smoke and stupidly they follow in his Satanic footsteps. He should be impeached without citizenship. And as I speak to our dear black citizens, President Trump did more for you in finding jobs for you and your beautiful families than any other President in our history as a nation, with the exception of President Lincoln. We need to get control of the Senate and the House and impeach this guy looking for Dictatorship, and we need to support Senator Ted Cruz in his bill to set time limits on service and kick Pelosi, Warren, Shumer and other leftist out of office. And put Trump back in office to straighten this great nation out once again.

I think this really kind of shows you how evil the establishment really is. All of the politics the Trump Admin had worked yet the establishment dismantled most of it. Yet they claim Trump and Trump Supporters are a threat to democracy. Well I want to take it a step further by saying the establishment is a threat to the free world and we God’s people should rise up and fight for the movement that God has started through Trump in exposing the establishment but also showing the world what a free country and free world with law and order and limited Government could look like. You saw all the things the Trump Admin was doing and able to achieve imagin what he could’ve been able to accomplish had he not have had the establishment constantly getting in the way. If there was ever a time where we were uncertain as to who the establishment is now is the time because Trump has been exposing them every since 2016. All the puppets and minions of the establishment are all exposed by simply not following the science, by pushing a certain narrative or propaganda to prop up the establishment which isn’t just happening here in the US it’s going on in other countries. I pray that people will continue to rise and stand against the establishment and I also pray for the innocent who get caught in the middle like the child or sex trafficking and etc. I pray to God for their safety and that God shield them and their families. I praise God for his son Jesus who not only showed us how to overcome but also paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have the cross for forgiveness and salvation making away for us to get to heaven. I am very thankful and excited about these times because it’s times like these where we see God the most and things change for the better and I praise God for always having a plan. Hallelujah! I pray all these things in Jesus name amen.

Let what is intended for evil – the open border, drug trafficking, sex trade, illegal immigration meant to destroy our country – Lord use it for Your good, to bring many into Your kingdom as they have opportunity to know You in this land of religious freedom – and Lord may they learn to love this country well and our constitution and our God-given freedoms of the individual, and may they become the ones preserving our laws and constitution and free elections and free speech – may they not believe the lies about our history but know the truth because they are experiencing it – and so the very ones we fear will cause our country harm, may they become those who fight to save her and preserve our nation as a nation under You, Lord – just as we were intended to be from our founding. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

Blessed are the children. We should start thanking satan for the chance to be blessed by watching out for the children!

I am encouraged that some people can be counted on to stop the influx of the unattended minors coming in. It really is a shame that there are unattended migrants but there are those and even our own country that are unattended but we have places for them to go and and we pay tax dollars for welfare but I believe it needs to be stopped so that those who live in our country who pay taxes and sometimes who don’t pay taxes have rights to legal counsel.

Greetings in the name of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.
My main concern is the in humanity and the collaboration with Cartels to recklessly transform our country.
However, as a nation, a light or beacon, we have an opportunity to embrace the mission of Christ. Since most of us can’t go to the world as missionaries, the enemy- Satan continues to wreak havoc by using migrants to divide the USA. God can use anything for His glory, including sharing the love of Christ to all who come here. ( This can be true for the multitudes of homeless on America’s Streets.
Our God is a big God, merciful, loving, strong, and righteous. Therefore, we should never be driven by fear, but by faith in Him. Pray, and seek your place in Jesus” mission field- and above all love one another.
Mr. Biden, please close the border, as the law requires. Please, bring no more division to your people, nor harm to those putting their faith in you, in stead of God whoe orders our steps.
You are not God!

This is another outrageous drain on America. Why doesn’t Joe Biden donate his salary if he feels this is such a worthy cause. Easy to spend other people’s money. I pray for karma to catch Joe someday.
