Lord, protect our border and guide our nation's leaders in Your supernatural wisdom.

The Biden Administration has a very different view of immigration policy than the Trump Administration. Here are some excerpts that explain what’s going on and offer some perspectives on what may be a growing border crisis.

According to Fox News, “In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on “Fox News Primetime”, Trump said he and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had built a “great relationship” — with a joint interest in controlling illegal immigration and constructing an efficient border wall.

“[Lopez Obrador] is a great gentleman. We had a very good relationship. They had 28,000 soldiers on our border while we were building the wall … and they were also stopping them at their northern border by Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala,” Trump said.

“Today, they are coming in. You take a look. They are coming in from foreign countries. I see they are coming in from Yemen. They are coming in from the Middle East. They are coming in from everywhere,” he said. “They are dropping them off and they are pouring into our country. It is a disgrace.”

“They are going to destroy our country if we don’t do something about it.” . . .

During the interview, Bartiromo asked the former president if he would recommend his supporters voluntarily receive the coronavirus vaccine, noting that a sizeable swath of Republicans remain uneasy or opposed to getting the shot at this point.

“I would,” Trump responded. “I would recommend it and I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly.” . . .

Trump said pharmaceutical companies and the Food and Drug Administration have been working “around the clock” to develop the various vaccinations.

During his interview, Trump also lambasted Biden and the Democrats over the near-$1 or more hike in gas prices since the new president’s executive orders curtailing American energy production and transport. . . .

Trump said that, while Biden and his party are seeking massive tax hikes, the spike in gas prices amounts to an even more onerous ‘tax’ in his mind. . . .

Prior to his interview, Trump recently spoke out against the mounting crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, where illegal immigrants and asylum seekers have overwhelmed federal authorities, while the Biden administration put a halt to the construction of the ex-president’s wall.

“Our border is now totally out of control thanks to the disastrous leadership of Joe Biden. Our great Border Patrol and ICE agents have been disrespected, demeaned, and mocked by the Biden Administration,” Trump said in a statement released earlier this month. . . .

He has issued a handful of political endorsements ahead of the 2022 midterms, including for Ohio congressional hopeful Max Miller, a Republican seeking to unseat Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio. Gonzalez, a former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver, voted to impeach Trump in January.

He has also pledged to visit Alaska to campaign for any Republican primary challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, for similar reasons. Trump also endorsed his former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is running for governor of Arkansas. . . .

Four people on the FBI’s terror watch list – three from Yemen and one from Serbia – have been arrested at the US-Mexico border since October, CBP confirms

According to Daily Mail, “US officials have arrested four people at the Mexico border whose names match the FBI‘s Terrorist Screening Database since October, a new report revealed.

The Customs and Border Protection agency confirmed the arrests to Congress on Tuesday, a congressional aide told Axios.

The names of the people apprehended were not released, but the source said three were from Yemen and the fourth was from Serbia.   . . .

The news came a day after Republican House members visited the border in Texas and claimed that an unspecified number of migrants crossing the border had names matching those on the terror watch list.  . . .

Several Democrats pushed back against the claims and demanded evidence.   . . .

The FBI’s terror watch list was created after 9/11 and includes people who are ‘known to be or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activities’ based on intelligence from an array of US law enforcement agencies.

The list is believed to be quite long, although the FBI does not release a specific number of names at any given time.  . .

Later on Monday, Katko expanded on his claims and suggested ‘people from Yemen and the Middle East are coming across the border now’.

Similar claims have been made before by former President Donald Trump, who in 2018 said people from the Middle East were traveling with a caravan of migrants making its way to the US’.

That assertion was found to be widely inaccurate with less than 0.1% of migrants intercepted in Mexico from the Middle East, according to QZ.com.

Katko said that terrorists were exploiting the ‘disorder at the border by executive order’ and even joining Mexican drug cartels. . . .

Monday’s news conference came as the US has seen an alarming surge in border crossings over the seven weeks since Biden took office.  . ..

So many migrants are arriving that the government converted the Dallas Convention Center – normally a venue for concerts and sports events – into a processing facility to house up to 3,000 migrant teen boys as it scrambles to address increasing overcrowding at other facilities.

There has also been a surge of unaccompanied minors arriving at the border. . . .

Under Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy those coming across the border were sent straight back to Mexico, where they would wait for their asylum cases to be decided.

But their prospects are much brighter after the Biden administration scrapped the policy within days of taking office.

Under Biden’s revisions, single men and women will still be sent back but families with young children will be taken to a Border Patrol facility, processed and released with a notice to appear before an immigration court at a later date. . . .

According to Customs and Border Protection, the number of migrant apprehensions reached 78,323 in the month of January 2021 alone – double the amount from January 2020.

And in February 2021, CBP encountered 100,441 migrants attempting to enter the US along the Southwest border – a 28 percent increase over January 2021.    . . .

Former Trump official says Biden admin ignored their warnings and caused the massive crisis at the border

According to The Blaze, “A former Trump administration official says that the Biden administration was warned about loosening agreements that would precipitate a crisis at the border, but they ignored the warnings. . . .

Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus made the comments while a guest on “Outnumbered” on Fox News Tuesday. Ortagus disputed statements from the Biden administration and then made her accusations.

“There was a dismantling of the system but it wasn’t by the Trump administration,” said Ortagus. . . .

“If you will let me be wonky for a second, there was something that we negotiated at the State Department and at DHS during the Trump administration. Two agreements. They’re called ACAs, Asylum Cooperation Agreements, and a BSA, a Border Security Agreement. We negotiated these with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador,” she continued.

“And I spoke to a senior DHS official from the Trump administration this morning, we were talking about this. He told me that they repeatedly warned the Biden team not to unilaterally get rid of these agreements. These were not one-way agreements, these were bilateral agreements between the United States and these three countries related to exactly this, to border security, to asylum,” Ortagus explained.

“They were all signed in 2019 and one of the reasons that we’re seeing the influx today is because the Biden administration decided to get rid of these two ACAs and the BSA with Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and they had nothing in place. Nothing else was negotiated with these three countries,” she added.

“And so, again, it’s a little bit of a wonky point,” Ortagus concluded, “but I think it’s worth knowing that the Trump DHS Team did warn the incoming Biden team that there will be a surge at the border if you get rid of the agreements with these three countries without anything in place.” . . .

Almighty Father,

I have no clue what is going on at the border.
You know perfectly.
I have no clue why a man in declining mental health is the president of our nation.
You were not taken by surprise.
I have no clue as to what is in the minds of our current “leaders.”
You see and know wicked plans and strategies before they are even conceived.
I have no clue why the adversary has so much authority in this time.
You alone grant this influence.
Before Jesus raisedLazarus from the grave, He said to Martha, “Didn’t I tell you that if you keep trusting, you will see the glory of God?” Jesus then prayed to You Father before shouting, “Lazarus! Come out!” Father, the dead are walking among us. I can see them everywhere. I am praying You would call them out…Joe Biden, come out! Kamala Harris, come out! Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, come out! We want to see Your Glory for our good and I so pray trusting in You Alone. Thank You Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

This is rediculas letting all these people come and there is only one place to put the blame. Mr Biden and his group has done irreparable damage to us and just to overturn the working Trump policies. The question is now WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO STOP THIS.

What’s happening at the border is wrong, and it’s so sad to see the wise policies of President Trump being overturned, with resultant harm both to the folks coming in and to our officers at the border trying to deal with the surge. May it be an opportunity to make our holy Lord Jesus known, and His saving power to make all things new be widely seen!

But, I cannot endorse President Trump’s recommendation to take the COVID shot, because, according to CDC data, for approximately every 35 million doses administered, there have been well over 600 deaths. Also using CDC data, for nearly 194 million flu shots for the 2020-2021 season, there were only 20 deaths!
This is an experimental intervention, with long-term safety being determined by the people accepting this shot, as there obviously has not been time, under Warp Speed, to conduct the usual 8 or so YEARS of safety studies with animals and humans. There is much more to be said, but the “vaccine” is not even supposed to prevent illness, only diminish symptoms – which, for the vast majority of people have been mild, although some people have, unfortunately, had to endure a very frightening illness.
As believers in the One, True, and Living God, we have been given NOT a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Let’s use that sound mind to consider who is actually benefiting from the shot, and act accordingly.

Meanwhile, we can rejoice in the Lord always!

PS to IFA, is there any way you can make the print in this Reply Box larger? I sure hope so, as typos get by me because the tiny details are so hard to se. Thanks!

I believe and decree there will be a sudden shift in government like the straw that broke the camel’s back. I know the illigitimate government is letting in immigrates perhap because they view them as future democratic votes. This illegitimate government has blood on their hands as there is massive child abuse, fentyl coming in and multitudes of child violation issues as a result of this open border policy. The word says if you abuse a little one, a milstone will be tied to your neck and you will be thrown in the sea. God is the God of justice and is seeing what is going on. I am in agreement with God that he is is the righteous judge and is and will help America in this crisis. Blood is on the hands of media as well as our government as they are working together. LOrd we cry out for mercy and justice for America and for the immigrants that are being abused due to political, power and lust reasons. I decree resistance and persecution to the illegitimate goverrnment and exposure of the voter fraud and stolen election conspiracy. The spotlight of heaven is on Washing DC despite the wall. Deep exposure is about to be revealed at the esachar time. I agree with radical exposure in God’s light. Our decrees push in the light and angels are activated in the district of Christ arena.Feathers are flying. pride goes before a fall.

If you want to assign blame, contact the WH about everything & anything. Since the politicked on everything that was wrong under Trump (including vaccines), that means they “must have ALL the answers”. What I do know is this – people that win elections through theft and fraud have NO answers. Any administration built on continual lies cannot be successful. Any administration built on cover-up, deception, misdirection, etc. is a “house divided against itself and the people it ‘claims’ to serve {America}”. All we have to do is watch a couple of press conferences with “spin master, question avoiding Psaki”…and we know this administration cannot get past the ongoing conviction that they stole an election and that past policies were “working”.
The truth is this question – “how do you know Trump ISN’T working on stopping the steal? Everything being done isn’t necessarily going to be public right away. Same with vaccines – nowhere do I see or have I heard that Trump says we “have” to take the vaccine. But I have heard some fairly forceful condemnations and subtle threats from the new illegitimate administration. So who is the battle against? Hmmm?

So why is Trump out promoting the vaccine? Lots of side effects and even death. He should be working on Stop the Steal. It feels like he left us hanging out to dry. Waiting until 2024 is not an option.

    Because not one agency, court, law enforcement, or AG were willing to investigate. What was left for lawful action?

    That is my burning question as well. Why does Trump encourage the Covid shot? Also, do we know with certainty that Trump actually received the jab?

Prayers for evil with wrong intentions to be exposed. Praying for those that don’t belong here to be determined and turned around to seek the right processes to come in legally. We ask that our nation’s leaders to come together working out solutions for their nations. Praying against evil involved in human trafficking and they be found out and arrested. Asking you Lord to restore law and order. Please keep our border patrols safe and give them great wisdom in all situations. We ask for your knowledge on how to restore integrity to our USA borders.

Lord please protect our border and guide our nation’s leaders in Your supernatural wisdom and discernment. I pray also for our border patrols also. America needs You so much, Lord. I pray for Your divine intervention upon our land and I pray for Jesus’ return to occur quickly. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen!

Father you are not the author of confusion but of peace. I pray today that a swift remedy for what is taking place at these borders be implemented to protect those cities, states & ultimately our nation from any terrorist activity, sex trafficking, spike in disease or any other situations arising from the sudden influx of foreigners into our country. Protect the innocent children arriving in our nation & let them be returned safely to their country & to their parents in Jesus Name. Father encourage the border patrol & those in authority in these areas that have been impacted by this sudden surge. impart wisdom & revelation to those who are in decision making capacity in Jesus Name Amen.
