I Prayed have prayed
Father, give us Your protection and provision. Please — secure our border! And stop this tremendous strain on our resources.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Migrants keep pouring across our border illegally and in record numbers, and they’re putting an enormous strain on our health care system. Your tax dollars pay for their care.

From Breitbart. Florida passed a law requiring hospitals to publicize the costs of unpaid care for migrants, and the reports thus far show that the loss to the state’s hospitals is a massive $566 million just in 2024 — and taxpayers are picking up much of that loss.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

In May 2023, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1718, requiring healthcare providers to note if patients are legal citizens. The purpose of the legislation was to ascertain just how much care for illegal aliens cost taxpayers and hospitals after the illegals were found unable to pay for their care. …

Since the bill was passed in 2023, many hospitals have begun making their reports to the state, and the amount of money they are losing to the care of illegals is staggering. …

With SB 1718 now recording the costs to the Sunshine State in real-time, it is clear that the costs of caring for indigent illegals are quickly adding up. To name just a few, according to the state’s reporting website, MyFlorida.com, Broward County has lost $43,056,022 so far in 2024 to the unpaid medical expenses for illegals. Duval has suffered a loss of $31,439, 143, Hillsborough’s loss is at $58,822,134, Orange stands at $58,328,521, and Miami-Dade has lost a whopping $231,804,144.

According to the reporting website, the estimated costs to care for illegal aliens have totaled more than $566 million to date.

Florida is hardly the only state throwing millions in state funding at health care for illegals. In March 2023, Fox News reported that between December 2021 and November 2022, Yuma Regional Medical Center in Yuma, Arizona, had spent $26 million on migrants who did not pay for the services. …

The costs continue to balloon. Early in 2023, the Federation for American Immigration Reform reported that illegal immigration was costing the nation’s hospital systems at least $23 billion annually — $8.2 billion of which is uncompensated medical care for illegal aliens.

When the money runs out and all our God given rights are taken away by our current satan following government then the illegal problem solves itself. Few immigrants seeking peace and work won’t come to a place worse than where they are. God help the US, but not our will but Your will be done. Be safe everyone and God bless

We are to give…but God’s not asking us to give what we don’t have as an individual or a nation. America needs to give her 10% of what she makes back to God…by giving to others in need…be it Americans or people of other nations…BUT when your in debt your NOT making money..Your in debt and God wants us to pay our debts because we are to owe no man nothing…,and America is in debt because we stopped giving as we where suppose to when we had it to give. It’s time we all stop robbing God in tithes and offerings! Help America as individuals and as a nation to get out of debt so that we can and will give to You what is already Yours anyway…all money is Yours, not ours! Lord, lead us too repentance, in Jesus’ Name, that we will be able to help others rightly in Your eyes. In Jesus Name I pray Who blesses a cheerful giver. Amen.

Oh Lord God almighty, close our borders by your Holy Love and power!! You are our HOPE. Psalm 71:5 “ For you are my HOPE, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.” Without You we can do nothing. With You we have victory.

Re: THE REAL COST OF IMMIGRATION
“Early in 2023, the Federation for American Immigration Reform reported that illegal immigration was costing the nation’s hospital systems at least $23 billion annually — $8.2 billion of which is uncompensated medical care for illegal aliens.”
Note that $23 billion annually ($8.2 billion uncompensated) means that 14.8 billion was covered by State programs such as Medicaid and Indigent Care; thus, the taxpayer was burdened with 14.8 billion and the hospitals were burdened with 8.2 billion uncompensated care.

America is no longer a rich nation with 35 trillion dollars in debt and we are incurring another trillion dollars in debt every 100 days. Tax dollars should be spent on our homeless veterans who we owe a great debt to for the defense of this nation.

Some People do not understand what is socialism and communism.
And they don’t think this beautiful country can go down any minute, we have a large population of homeless ,mental health issues, apart from inflation.
Only the mercy of The Lord is sustaining us until now.
All these people that are entering in the wrong way is because the Democrats want their votes, and want to put this country in caos. This is not love at all., this is destruction for the country.

The borders of a country have to be secure because the ideologies of a lot of these people are not the ones we have here , a lot of them terrorists
Look a Venezuela how it has become from being a beautiful rich country is in caos. Why ? Because Maduro who is a communist is the President.
You have the obligation to secure your house.

Only the lies of communism and socialism that has poured into this country through teachers in schools and universities think that these ideologies will make this country a la la land country for everyone. This is a lie .

You can see it in Cuba, North Korea, .
I pray that The Lord will have mercy on us, and open the eyes of those who cannot see , and once again this country will have order and know who comes in by the right way to this beautiful land., to worship and have the freedom to honor The Lord.

Lord, WE are all your children. In this country that you have blessed with wealth, help us appreciate that all this wealth is yours and you say we need to share with each other. Let not this wealth be a god that we worship, let us look at the wealth, and then at ourselves, so we can be good stewards so that we can bless others with it.

In addition to a nationwide homeless, drug and mental illness crisis we now have this?!! When the wicked rule the people suffer. Our current wicked government leaders from the Whitehouse all the way to corrupt liberal city mayors are failing their constituents and must be voted out of power! “We are all sick and tired of their FAILING SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS!” (Quote from my local City Councilwoman, Traci Park)

It used to be that coming into the U.S. through the vetting process was no small thing. This caused most people to move toward being a benefit to the U.S.
With Millions of people pouring into our nation, they are not changed, called into account. We already know that criminals are among those who come into our country illegally. There was one man who blatantly said that he was going to a certain U.S. city to blow up many people. Somehow they had some processing for this man, thankfully. What about all of the others that we have little information about?

Remember this:
‭2 Corinthians 9:10-12 ESV‬
[10] He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. [11] You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. [12] For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.”
Also, Proverbs 21:6 “The righteous give generously without sparing.”
Deuteronomy 15:10, 1 Timothy 6:17-19, Proverbs 37:21.
We are so rich, so blessed. So how much could it bless the world if we were generous with our land, our healthcare, our Father!

Only solution is to close our borders and that will not happen in this country with the “Demorats” in control!
