Unto You, O Lord, we return with praise and thanksgiving, for Your mercy is ever upon us.

We praise You, Merciful Father, that You have slowed the passage of any new law regarding immigration, that there might be time for exacting and tedious inspection of every word. So great is the outcome, O Lord, that we continue in earnest prayer for those in authority over us, that they would be mindful to do only that which is right and good in Your sight, for then, and only then, will it be right and good for the people.

May those who have oversight be burdened to strengthen our borders and to enforce our existing laws, that we might once again proudly proclaim that we are a nation of laws. Let justice be rendered when those laws are transgressed ... let us never reward the lawbreaker, for in so doing, we negate the accomplishments of our law abiding citizens. Stir up the people to a Godly sense of fairness ... may they be vocal and forceful, consistent and insistent, and may they prevail.

May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in Your Blessed Name we pray, Amen ...
