During the Presidential debate of the 2020 campaign, candidate Joe Biden said.
“What I would do as president is several more things because things have changed. I would, in fact, make sure that there is, we immediately surge to the border — all those people are seeking asylum, they deserve to be heard. That’s who we are. We’re a nation who says, if you want to flee, and you’re freeing oppression, you should come.”
Message received. From Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and other parts of Central America, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have crossed the American border. Many of them are neither oppressed nor seeking asylum. Some are, but regardless, access has been granted to all crossing the porous border. They are being processed, placed in holding facilities designed for hundreds but now occupied by multiple thousands. given cash and airline and bus tickets to throughout the United States.
Good luck to those who patiently waited in line, and legally applied for American citizenship. Lawful entry into America is now immaterial. The “line” has been “jumped.”
Until January, traffic stops at Border Control facilities in Arizona and New Mexico, on or near Interstate 10 served as passive deterrents to illegal immigration and drug trafficking. They are no longer operational.
As of this writing, between 20-30,000 unaccompanied minors have crossed the border. You may have seen the video (linked below), which features a 10-year-old boy who traveled with a group of 180 from Nicaragua but was abandoned once they entered South Texas. An off-duty Border Patrol agent found him and took him to the Donna, Texas facility where thousands of children are being housed.
The video is heart breaking, as is the surveillance video of sisters, age 3 and 5, literally dumped over a 17-foot fence by “coyotes.” Thankfully, they were unharmed and rescued by Border Patrol agents.
Why is this happening? Some Bible students may be reminded of a relatively obscure prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:43: “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.”
Whether this recent wave of illegal immigration is part of this prophecy, perhaps more important are the consequences and tragedy associated with a change in policy from the previous administration.
Some of the illegal storming of our border are from people who think their lives will be better than the Central American nation they came from. Many are being manipulated by the drug cartels and sold into virtual slavery once they make it to the United States. Cartels own “legitimate” businesses on the American side of the border. Some helped by the drug lords are forced to pay for safe passage through Mexico, and then become virtual indentured servants once they arrive in America. Many young women and young children of both genders have been sexually abused on their way to the United States. The darkest side are the reports of young children being sold into pedophile rings, never to be heard from again.
For the drug cartels, human trafficking is big business, as they have been taking in $14 million per day.
It’s not just the United States facing illegal immigration. Europe is also once again besieged with immigrants from the Middle East and Africa.
It may reflect a grand design, first enunciated in a 2001 United Nations White Paper, which advocated for over 600 million to migrate to the United States by 2050 and 160 million to Europe by 2025. If you’re an American or European citizen, you’ve never been asked your opinion of this scheme by the United Nations, have you?
Not all those who have entered the country illegally are from Central America. Some from Middle Eastern countries, with known terrorist links, have been detained by Immigration and Border Patrol. But how many have evaded detection?
Whether the current and likely future illegal immigration is specific fulfilment of prophecy or not, it does signal a continual disrespect, by leaders in our nation to uphold our current immigration law. Without borders, America, as a nation of law will cease to exist. At the very least the signal sent to 3rd world Central American nations is America is open to you.
Perhaps expanded illegal immigration is simply a part of prophecy to the modern descendants of the tribes of Israel. The recurring theme throughout the Major and Minor prophets is warning for departing from God and His Law, and punishment for disobedience. Prior to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, no other nation had claimed the Bible and God as the inspiration for its Constitution.
Lamentations 5:2 “Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.”
America has been a wealthy nation but has squandered its wealth on useless foreign wars, and many of its leaders have failed to acknowledge God as the source of national wealth. Ezekiel mentions the people of “Israel” and “Jacob” over 180 times, indicating these people are the subject of the overall prophecy. The many warnings certainly do have application to our modern times.
What is your individual responsibility? As individuals we are not in position to change the errant policies of our nation. But you can pray!
Ezekiel 9:4: and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
Those who recognize and grieve over the wrongdoing of our age are blessed and protected.
The illegal influx of multiple thousands flocking to our nation, entering illegally, will burden the already overtaxed social welfare system, result in more crime with deceptive, bad actors and take advantage of unwitting innocent people from the third world.
You can pray for them, for the little boy crying in South Texas, and for the multitude of problems that are growing, beginning at our Southern borders.
