I have really struggled with this issue, because I know the Bible teaches compassion in these situations.
The problem I have is that I am fully aware that the overwhelming of the border with these children is a deliberate strategy, designed to open the floodgates of our country to millions of poor Latin Americans.
It is possible that as much as 90% of Latin America’s population is as poor as these children we are seeing. Can we absorb them all? Because if we offered blanket amnesty most would attempt to immigrate here.
And the irony is that once they are here, the Democrat politicians who would be greatly empowered by their presence would seek to establish the same socialist policies that caused their native countries to descend into poverty, violence and chaos.
So 20, 30, 40 years from now, the United States would closely resemble the third world crap-holes that these children fled to avoid.
Most of us may not be here to see it; and yes, Heaven, not Earth, is our home. But shouldn’t we consider what we leave behind for our children and grandchildren?
Agree completely.
Excellent post. I’m like you, I’ve come across a few people who have the “high road” approach as well BUT as you point out, it’s the bigger picture.
