I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray that You would strengthen our borders. Keep us safe from those who wish us harm. We pray that, for our safety, the Biden administration would not do away with Title 42.

As the border crisis continues to get worse, some activists are suggesting that Biden end Title 42. This decision would only hurt the border and our national security as a whole.

From The Daily Signal. In 2021, the migrant surge at the southern border hit its highest point in two decades.

But as bad as things are currently, the situation at the border may get even worse.

President Donald Trump’s administration created the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order Title 42 to allow immediate deportation of illegal immigrants coming from countries where there was a widespread communicable disease….

That could soon change.

Pressure from activists and the reduction of COVID-19 restrictions has, according to multiple reports, led the administration to reconsider Title 42….

Even before President Joe Biden took office it was clear that he would take a different approach to the border than his predecessor. Once in office, he worked quickly to ensure it would be more difficult to arrest, detain, and deport illegal immigrants….

The number of July border arrests, in a hot month that typically sees lower border crossing numbers, went over 200,000. This is the highest number seen in any single month in over 21 years.

The trend hasn’t abated in 2022. In February, there were 164,973 encounters between Border Patrol and illegal immigrants at the southern border. This is a threefold increase from February 2020 and marks a yearlong streak of over 150,000 border apprehensions per month….

It’s in the context of this environment that the administration is set to make the border control problem significantly more challenging.

Even two Democratic senators from Arizona, a border state at the forefront of the crisis, insisted that Title 42 remain in place….

The border crisis is getting worse, not better. One of the primary jobs of the federal government is to maintain the border and uphold the laws that the American people have put in place to do so.

What we have now is a border that in a short amount of time has become a sieve and an administration apparently unwilling to change course or stand up to the most extreme left-wing activists.

It’s the same tack we’ve seen from Democrats and the “defund the police” movement. Again and again they cave to the most extreme voices on the left and the country pays the consequences.

Lord God, please send the US a desire to repent before you from their hearts. True repentance. Thank you. In Jesus name, amen.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
🎵God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with the light from above

From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home🎵

Dear Heavenly Father, we not only have a border crisis but we also have a crisis of faith. Will You assure us in our hope for safety? Will You raise up righteous men and women to lead us confidently into a society that has compassion with justice? I ask for Your blessing on America and all the nations of the world. I ask for Your blessing on all who need hope. I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus, our Eternal hope. Amen
