Yesterday President Trump proposed an immigration reform overhaul. We have been praying for changes in immigration and for the border crisis, now pray through this proposed plan. You can read the transcript or watch his speech HERE.

From the Washington Times:

“. . . a bold plan to refashion legal immigration from its heavy reliance on family ties into a points-based system that would boost those with preferred skills.

Mr. Trump said the overall level of legal immigration would remain the same, at about 1.1 million people per year, but that the U.S. should do more to pick newcomers who would boost the economy rather than rely on migrants to pick themselves based on which relatives are already in the country. . . .

He said his plan would achieve 100% operational security at the border, with more technology to scan vehicles coming through the legal ports, more barriers to prevent people from jumping between the ports and tighter rules to stop abuse of the asylum system.

Yet Mr. Trump’s plan does not deal with future foreign guest workers, nor does it address any of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S. who are clamoring for legal status. . . .

Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, broke with naysayers in the activist community. He saw Mr. Trump’s announcement as a good start for a broader dialogue.

“The administration’s plan recognizes that our country needs immigrants and that they contribute to economic prosperity and innovation across the U.S.,” he said. “That is a strong starting principle on which to build a conversation around fixing our immigration system.”

He said, though, that the U.S. economy needs workers “across all sectors,” so whatever emerges will need to be broader than what Mr. Trump has laid out.”

Yes very good , they take sooo much advantage of the system in the name of mercy, and try to destroy this beautiful country.
Look all the people that take advantage of The welfare system.
This is wrong it has to stop.
The word of The Lord says in the Book of Romans The Lord established their borders.

Heavenly Father,
We call upon You our Sovereign, Powerful, All-knowing God to give wisdom and guidance to all who are trying to protect or make decisions about the border. Lord Jesus I ask that You unify the hearts of our Congress and bless each one who is trying to do what is best for the American people. Bind the evil spirits that dwell within the hearts of those who want to allow corruption and destruction of this nation and may Your love penetrate their hearts so that Your will is done. May Your precious blood cover every innocent person and may many come to know You as their Lord and Savior. To God be ALL glory.
AMEN

God, I ask that your justice not man’s justice rule. Your mercy not man’s “false mercy.”

I pray that you turn the hearts of Congress toward you.

Angels go and assist Pres. Trump in removing illegals from the USA, and not letting them return. Also purging the federal and state governments of non-Christian non-patriot plants, & help build the wall in multiple place at the same time, so it is finished much soon.

Heavenly Father, The problems at our border with Mexico are known by You. Father, we ask for new and creative ways to handle this situation. We pray the human trafficking & drug trafficking will be stopped. Father, You know each person at the border who is trying to come into the USA illegally and their reason for coming. Give our Border Patrol workers & officials Your wisdom on how to handle each person. Let Thy will be done in each case.
Thank You for Pres. Trump taking a stand & presenting his plan to end the problem at our border. May the members of Congress work together with Your guidance to develop a plan that is pleasing to You and will protect and bless both the USA and those who want to come here for legitimate reasons. Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending us someone who is not willing to continue in the madness of staying stuck. We are trusting You to bring forth Your safety, success, strategies, and justice according to how You look at this world at large and especailly in what we are facing in United States of America. We ask for Your divine protection. We know this is not a new idea, countries like Austrailia won’t let anyone but professionals in so we aren’t forerunners. However it is new for us and boundaries are necessary for all of our good. Thank You God for bringing the needed unity and peace we so desire in our country. In Jesus name we touch and agree and pray. Amen.

You need to stop all welfare for illegal INVADERS, no more food stamps, cash assistance, child care assistance, free medical care and hospital stays, free labor and delivery and end the ANCHOR BABIES and giving babies born to illegal INVADERS automatic citizenship. If the mom is illegal so are any and all of her offspring NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!! STOP ALL OF THESE THINGS AND THEY WILL STOP ILLEGALLY INVADING OUR COUNTRY

    Agreed. America can not take in the whole of Honduras. America can not solve all the world’s problems. Take a look at California’s tent cities. The billionaires there are not helping the poor living right at their doorstep, and middle class families are leaving that state because of high taxes. As Pres. Trump says, this is about common sense. God give us common sense!
