Lord, we thank You for empowering the President to take back control of the southern border and strengthen our national security. We pray for an end to illegal immigration, and we pray that all those who want to come to America would come through legitimate, legal channels.

The Trump administration has revoked the protected status of nearly one million migrants who entered America through the CBP app, instead instructing those migrants to self-deport. Meanwhile, President Trump is considering fining illegal immigrants.

From Just the News. The Trump administration is revoking the protected status of nearly one million people who have entered the U.S. using an app created by the Biden administration that allowed them to enter the country first and then schedule a court hearing on their legal status.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

The revocations are being handled by the Department of Homeland Security and impact an estimated 985,000.

“The Biden Administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S., which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history,” the departmentĀ toldĀ The Hill newspaper on Tuesday. …

The administration has begun sending email notices to the people affected by the recent decision, telling them to leave the country. …

The HillĀ reported that the recent decision did not impact migrants from Ukraine and Afghanistan. …

From Breitbart. The Trump administration is proposing a $998 a day fine for illegal migrants who refuse to self-deport.

The suggestedĀ policyĀ could also result in the confiscation of property if the migrants do not pay the fines. A similar plan was put in place in 2018 during Trumpā€™s first term in office and is reportedly based on a law passed in 1996, according to a report by Reuters.

The policy in 2018 was far more narrowly invoked. Trump used the 1996 law to levy fines on nine migrants who had taken shelter inside churches, eventually imposing a $60,000 per migrant fine in that case.

Unsurprisingly, Biden reversed the policy once he took office in 2021. …

No time line for implementation has been set, so the policy is clearly still in the proposal stage.

The proposal, if implemented, could serve to speed the self-deportation that has already begun among migrants living illegally in the United States.

Already reports haveĀ revealedĀ that migrants have begun hiring the coyotes that brought them into the United States to help them smuggle themselves back out of the country.

Texas-based journalist Alfredo Corchado recently told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relation that coyotes are now offering packages for migrants to go back home. He added, ā€œTheyā€™re offering these packages where you can just go back home. Not all of them are taking it; I mean, many [are].ā€ …

Why would an illegal pay the coyotes to smuggle them out. It seems to me to be cheaper to just tell border agents you are self deporting as per President Trumps order. Maybe not so innocent illegal as the lefties want us to believe. Stand strong on the wall, invite others and trust in God.

Praise God for such a time in history as this I do believe that God is intervened and allowed Trump with the Lordā€˜s divine handled, guiding Trump and everything that he does. Itā€™s what faith is all about trusting God in his omnipotent ways for he knows the plans he has for us plans are prosperous not to harm us, but to give us a future.

Caution! GOD is watching!
Our Heavenly Father needs to be consulted re the kindest lawful way to treat all peoples:
Leviticus 19:33-34:
ā€œWhen a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egyptā€.
Deuteronomy 10:19:
ā€œYou must not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egyptā€.
Jesus emphasized the importance of caring for the vulnerable, including foreigners, and his parables often highlighted the need to treat others with compassion and respect.
Examples in the Bible:
The story of Ruth, a foreign woman who found kindness and acceptance in Israel, is a powerful example of Godā€™s love for foreigners.
Why this is important:
The Bible teaches that God is a God of justice and righteousness, and that all people are created in His image, regardless of their background or nationality.
Practical application:
This means that Christians are called to show kindness, hospitality, and justice to foreigners in their communities, and to advocate for their rights and well-being.
James 2:13 states, ā€œFor judgment is without mercy to him that hath shewed no mercy: mercy rejoices against judgment,ā€ meaning that mercy will ultimately prevail over judgment for those who have shown mercy, while judgment will be without mercy for those who have not.

Help us Our Father to do only what is right and just. In Jesus Name, Amen.

    God knows if the illegal aliens in the US are going to harm its citizens and cause them to worship idols . If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever, perhaps God is saying, remove the enemy from your camp and worship him only.
    ā€œPunishment for Sin:
    The Old Testament portrays God as punishing the Israelites’ enemies, and sometimes the Israelites themselves, for their disobedience and idolatry.
    Examples of God’s Intervention:
    Command to Destroy: In some instances, God commanded the Israelites to “utterly destroy” certain nations, like the Canaanites, Perizzites, and Jebusites, who were considered idolatrous and a threat to the Israelites’ faith.
    Handing Over to Enemies: When the Israelites disobeyed God, He would “hand them over” to their enemies, allowing them to be plundered and oppressed.
    Wiping Out for Unbelief: In Numbers 14 and Hebrews 3:16-19, the Lord wiped out those who did not believe in His promise to enter the Promised Land..ā€

    The key to immigration is to follow the laws of the land. The leadership of America does not keep them out. Their disobedience keeps them out when they follow the laws of the land they can come back.

    People who come into our nation legally, and wish to integrate into our society should be welcomed in and treated with respect and kindness – absolutely!! Foreigners who come into our land as tourists, who only wish to share it’s beauty, or business people desiring to mutually prosper from our economy should be welcomed as well. This principle expressed in Lev. and Deut., of welcoming the “ger” being applied to illegal immigrants and/or terrorists and/or criminals seeking to harm our citizens is a gross and dangerous misapplication. Many believers have seen legal immigrants as an opportunity for compassion ministry – teaching English as a second language, multicultural exchanges when appropriate and not in danger of encouraging idolatry, and just befriending them and helping them assimilate. These would be appropriate applications of this principle.

    Of course immigrants are to be loved, cared for, protected and not mistreated. Any lover of Jesus knows this. However, any who are here illegally must leave and return legally following the proper pathway to citizenship. And of course known hardened criminal illegals must be deported and not allowed to returnā€¦this is a no-brainer.

    I really can’t take how naive Christians are about civil law vs. God’s law. All we hear from the woke day and night is “separation of church and state” whenever Christians try to influence the public arena. But the minute the gov’t actually does its primary job and protects its own citizens and borders, every yahoo out there is quoting the Levitical law.

    Non-Christians have more sense about this than the church, and it’s a shame to us. Fifty years of swapping out social studies in school rather than civics has a lot to do with this bleeding heart ignorance. How many nations are we responsible to foot the bill for their problems? How many criminals are we supposed to take in? How much should we expect our fellow citizens to pay in housing and in subsidies and in handouts? What happened to “love your neighbor” when its our own fellow citizens?

    Let the church stick to helping our own crumbled society, and let the government do its job, which is bearing the sword (Romans 13:4).

    I know these scriptures and agree that we are to love all people, but foreigners spoken of in scripture did not break the law to enter Israel. Illegal immigrants are lawbreakers. The US welcomes those who enter legally, use the process that is in place.

      Thatā€™s what the Bible says. Thatā€™s Godā€˜s love letter to his people to learn from the word of God so that you donā€™t make these kind of mistakes, lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways, acknowledge his word the Bible and he will make your path straight

We have the most kind and caring president ever. Even the illegals know they can return lawfully. Just as our Heavenly Father desires and allowsā€¦ everyone to have second chances, but illegal criminals who only want to steal, kill and destroy cannot be allowed to return.

Lord, thank you for our President who cares about American citizens first and foremost. Please continue to bless him with full agreement on these deportations of illegals, and more importantly the violent criminal ones. Coming to our country is a privilege not a right. We are glad and thankful that we have a proper path to citizenship and pray only law abiding people come. May the Gospel of your Kingdom be preached to them all. We pray also for safety and protection on all our borders and may all those aiding illegals to stay against our presidentā€™s/countryā€™s laws, be prosecuted to the fullest extent of our laws. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
