Immigration worries Republicans

Republican congreesional members' constituents care more about immigration and border security than any othe issue, according to a new congressional insiders poll.

Seventeeen of the 37 Republican House and Senate members who responded to the National Journal's survey identified immigration as the issue "most on the minds of your consituents these days." That easily topped the next closest issue, the economy, which gained 10 votes, followed by gasoline prices with four votes and terrorism with threee votes.

One Republican called immigration the "highest-octane issue in America," while another said, "It is here that the mismatch between the federal government's inaction and the realities at home is the greatest."

Rep. Tom Tancredo, the Colorado Republican who runs the House Immigration Reform Caucus, has said other members of Congress have come up to him recently and said immigration is a dominant issue when they return home for recess periods.

Of 25 Democratic members of Congress who responded, just two mentioned immigration as the top issue for constituents....

I know I've pinged you on this but if our Country's borders need urgent prayer, I want to give it the widest possible dissimenation and so on this thread, too:

NOW THIS:

urgent request; Meri Burlingame; Jul 17, 2005

Dear Renewed Hope, I had a note from a very responsible subscriber tonight that works with the FBI by contributing "prophetic insight." She indicated that

*********************************************************
URGENT **** URGENT **** URGENT **** URGENT **** URGENT ****
*********************************************************

there is an urgent need for prayer for our borders TONIGHT!!

Please, if you are up and get this Saturday night, I trust you might have been selected of the Lord to share in this.

Meri

I've been praying. America's destiny is in God's hands - it always has been.

God cannot make exceptions for America when America cannot make exceptions for Him.

============================

Pro 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

AGREED. VERY WELL PUT.

God agreed to spare the city if there were 10 righteous.

We are called as Believers to stand in the gap.

I pray that those who are led by His Spirit will pray in His Spirit in whatever spiritual warfare way that this situation requires.

Thanks for your faithful testimony and service for Him and His Kingdom.

I have also prayed tonight that all evil doers bent on destruction to our land who are at crossing our borders would be found at our borders and would be caught and locked up for a very long time.

That all the evil schemes of the enemy would fall to the ground harmless and that the evil doers would fall in their own pit.

If God did not judge the United States, He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

America has not repented - God will judge her.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

QUITE SO. QUITE SO.

Nevertheless, I pray for as much light to do earnest God's Kingdom's work as long as possible with as much freedom and as many options as long as possible.

I realize that hard times will also bring a greater Kingdom Increase in many different and greater ways.

Pray this also then: That the enablers giving free passage to those bent on the destruction of America will also be EXPOSED and their motives be laid bare for all the world to see.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.

I just received my Official Senate Majority Leader's Survey and fund-raising letter in mail. 45 questions. 45. AND NOT ONE QUESTION ON BORDER SECURITY OR IMMIGRATION....NOT ONE! (seething anger controlled for the children's sake)

I just sent mine back to my Honorable Senator Elizabeth Dole.

I used the 'comment' area and the entire back of the form to blast the inaction of President Bush and Congress on the illegal alien issue.
Including my pledge not one cent until they act.

Of course she would. That woman is so filled with pure, selfish *evil* that just thinking about her lately makes my nose bleed. FRiends, we must keep a record of her swerving with Republican polls and issues, otherwise, she will win her sick little game. I cannot believe that this beast has gotten this far.

The Triple Fence Pilot Project, successfully reduced drug smuggling 100% in the first 14 miles of the US-Mexico border since its completion.

Excellent.

Is it being extended to the rest of the borders?

It's not immigration if you're in the country without permission, it's invasion.

Media bait and switches us again.

May God bless all people who love him and America!
This is my prayer, for I love my country too, and I want us to survive, and we are in grave danger.

Hunter is taking care of his district. If every Congressman in a border district took up the project in the same manner, this task would be completely removed from the Administration's "To Do" box. The people would have spoken louder than the Minutemen, whose efforts I applaud.
