Reading Time: 2 minutes

The end of Title 42 is set to bring untold scores of illegal immigrants into the United States. One Texas city is already taking drastic measures to prepare.

From KTXS12. El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser said Monday that he will declare a state of emergency due to migrants coming to the Texas city before Title 42 ends on May 11.

“We will do it prior to May 11, to declare a state of emergency, for the main reason being we want to make sure we have schools prepared and ready to go, the civic center ready to go and it’s going to be very important that we are prepared strictly for temporary housing,” said Leeser.

Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino said there is a possibility that 35,000 migrants could cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

The city said it’s ready to reopen the Welcome Center for processing and providing basic necessities to migrants.

The vacant Morehead and Bassett Middle Schools are also prepared to take in migrants. The Convention Center will be used next if the schools are full. If the need goes beyond that, hotels will be used as shelters. …

D’Agostino said they are considering bringing in a third-party contractor to help staff shelters.

City Council on Monday also extended an emergency ordinance for another 30 days that will allow city personnel and resources to assist in caring for migrants. In terms of transportation, so far Houston was the only city mentioned that migrants could be bussed to if needed.

Father God as I come before you today I’ve not forgotten your words “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” by Faith I do not question these words He made us as humans like Him self, I always surmised he wanted a family. So what made Him choose Israel as a great nation? God you chose this special journey for Abram because of His walk with our Father, when others chose sin Abram did not, God saw this and promised to make His descendants into a great Nation. Father as I read your words the one important thing that was important to you, was faithfulness to you. God you honored Abram because He honored you. Father it sounds so simple especially the Covenant God made with Abram, He founded a great nation, God would bless the nation and other nations of this earth would be blessed through his ( Abrams) descendants. ( Israel) was established. Father I see in Genesis 12: 3-3 Gods promise “ I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who curse you, and the people on all of the earth will be blessed through you.” God asks so little from us as He did Abram, Obey Gods promises. Father God thank you for Israel whom we love and protect with our prayers and thank you for Abrahams steady and devotion to God so we could have victory when people look at us, and what our belief has done for America. God has given us the same promises as he did Abraham because we honor Israel and God. When I pray and read this journey God has given us, I feel the tears well up in my spirit and the Why’s could anyone deny the existence and presence of our Heavenly Father and why would anyone deny the time honored relationship with Israel. God we are so blessed to be a part of this family of God. We celebrate with Israel because it would never be easy to let go of obeying God and through the many taught lessons of Abrahams journey of obeying God. Israel we pray blessings upon Gods chosen nation a nation we deeply love. God did not spare His son that was born in a nation, a nation we call blessed because of Gods creation. “ And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Thank you God for your blessings over America” God keep Israel safe from all of the conflicts demonic spirits that are trying to take over and remove Israel. I plead Jesus blood over this nation to secure their borders. Gods words still carry power through His promises that can do anything. 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

Father we need both righteousness and justice, truth and mercy at the border. There is real human suffering, desperation, as well as sex trafficking and illegal drugs, and the need for people to be processed in the manner that it was decided by our government and our laws. This is a complicated issue but our borders must be secured first before we can begin to look at the minutia of all of the other desperate issues. Abba Grant both Grace and grit to those making the decisions within their own State and at a governmental level. I pray for great boldness and for truth to be raised up where the enemy has come in like a flood. Thank you that we, as a sovereign nation, have the right to secure our borders and we have the right to be merciful to those who apply to become immigrants as well. These ones need wisdom from above, the wisdom that comes from heaven which is creative and peaceable.

I declare and decree that states along the crossing sites will take appropriate action. Since the federal government is allowing it, the states have to say no and exercise their rights to protect against a foreign invasion. States have to say no. I decree and declare government state leaders will take appropriate action to say no to this foreign invasion being allowed by the present federal power not doing their job of protecting this country. The states must take action to save our country. I pray courage and boldness to do what is necessary in Jesus name.

Colossians 1:16-17 ESV
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Romans 15:33
Now the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

Dear Abba Father, You are The God of Order and Peace. Everything that has life, breath and existence does so at Your good pleasure. Would You bring order and peace to the border? Nothing about this tragedy is hidden from YOU. You even know each individual involved… the “sacrificed” children, the immigrants, the cartel members, the border residents, the border authorities, our contemptible government. I pray You will create order in the hearts of each one. If this is not Your intention Father, please protect each one innocent of the harm they are suffering. And for those inflicting the harm, have YOUR WAY Lord. In this and all things, You need NO direction from me. I am praying in the Name of Jesus Christ, that this prayer and all the prayers of Your people are pleasing to YOU. May the God of peace be with us all. Amen

So let me get this straight! This mayor is preparing shelters and places to house ILLEGAL immigrants who are flooding into our country and breaking our laws by not coming in lawfully? Make this make sense! So Americans’ tax dollars are taking care of people from other countries that include child traffickers and machete using gang members and terrorists and drug cartel members? They house and feed these illegals while Americans that lost jobs during the plandemic are struggling to feed their families and some are homeless. No shelters are prepared for Americans who are homeless! 3 meals a day are not prepared for Americans that have no food! American homeless people do not get free medical! Bills are mailed to an address that the American homeless provide while illegal immigrants’ emergency room bills and doctors bills are paid by the government that we own by our tax dollars! Make it make sense! This is way worse than “No Taxation Without Representation” that started the Revolutionary War and led to the formation of America! Faith without works is dead! I say it is time for us to hit the pavements educating Americans to how our government is behaving! It is time to insist that all illegals, (every last one of them) are KICKED OUT of our country until they can come in legally! It is time for us to flood our representatives and senators with instructions to “taking back our country from this administration! It is past time for the grass roots folks to legally stop this administration from killing our country! FATHER GOD please direct us on how to proceed in saving America! Order our steps and direct our path to redeem America for Americans! Please send YOUR angels to lead the fight and to present us with the spoils! I ask that YOU, FATHER GOD help the illegals to know and trust YOU for their country and their needs! Thank YOU FATHER for helping us in JESUS NAME!
