Glenn and TheBlaze have been covering the growing crisis at the southern border for a number of weeks now. With the situation further deteriorating, Glenn came before his audience on Monday morning with an interesting ask. In fact, Glenn described what he was about to say as “the hardest thing” he has ever asked for. But as he shared troubling new information about the humanitarian crisis at the border, Glenn asked his listeners to consider donating to Mercury One.
I’m not going to tell you who is giving me this information because things down at the border are extraordinarily difficult and not what you are being told it is. The Administration – and I believe this also includes the progressives Republicans – are trying to keep the lid on the media right now. And the churches are the ones who are pulling people’s feet out of the fire. Our state reps now have gone and toured the facilities that are happening in Laredo, Brownsville, Van Horn, McAllen, and all across the border. This one particular facility that I want to talk to you about holds 400 people but currently it has 1,200 kids in it. Some of them are toddlers. 1,200. 400 is what the max capacity is.
Let me ask you: How fast would the federal government or the state shut you down if you had anything that said maximum capacity 400, and you had 1,200 people if there? Three times the amount. Is anybody seeing a problem with this? The federal government is breaking their own laws and they are keeping this information from us.
I am told by people who have toured and work at this facility that when they open the doors to go in, the stench is so bad the politicians that were to go in gagged and backed out. One of the churches is planning on converting their entire church, the largest in the area, to become a holding facility because of how bad things are. Things are so desperate right now, hygiene and food are the number one problem. Clothes are further down the list. They need portable showers and Port-A-Johns. They have no way to wash their clothes. They need food and hygiene care right now. Many of them have not eaten in days. FEMA is supposed to be down there. They are not down there.
Today, I want to appeal to you. I want you to just think about this, please. The two citizenships that we hold. We will destroy our country if we only recognize the citizenship that we have in our country. If the Constitution of the United States of America is our god, then we are lost already. Our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Our God demands certain things from us. He demands us to see each other. He demands that we help each other. He demands that we help the child. We help the suffering. We are the Good Samaritan.
There are some who are going to say, ‘I’m not going to help the people. They came across the border.’ Well, okay, but they’re here now. They’re on our border. Yes, some of them may be MS-13. That’s a different argument. We can sort out who’s who after we take care of people. That’s for the government to do. I’m not talking about we’re going to send them into our cities.
Deuteronomy 26 - the land divided and given to them by God, to be used for their blessing and the blessing of the Levite, the widow, the orphan, and the alien...
I was talking about their “trip”.. kids in the same pants the same shoes on top and inside of train.
WITH HEADPHONES on! If it is so bad and they are so poor why did they all show up looking the same?
Where did the Nikes come from?
How come LL OF THOSE SILVER SURVIVAL BLANKETS JUST HAPPENED TO BE READY?
How f
did the Govt manage to start flying them into New England in April?
Are you Stupid or painfully misguided?
You said human borders did not matter to God, I provided a scriptural reference of nations coming under severe judgment for altering borders. So, God does care about human borders.
Neither, you?
You were the one promoting socialist justice so where does the bible promote that nonsense?
A couple of notes about the Joel passage:
1) Do you think there was or will be a day when God gathers the nations for judgment?
2) The language of Joel is apocalyptic and not intended to be taken literally.
3) But if it is, the land that is divided is Israel and the nations that did the dividing are being judged by God for dividing...
Wow, Catherine, why are you so angry?
Really, dave? That’s what you’ve got? A typical lib Alinsky attack?
Catherine doesn’t sound angry to me. Just realistic.
None of those notes change the fact that God does care about human borders, bexardave.
Tell us Beck, when these kittens grow up to be cats, do you get to keep your ranch in their Amerika?
Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy issue specific commands for the Hebrews.
Isaiah 58
Amos 5
Micah 6.8
Matthew 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount
Luke 3 - John the Baptist
Luke 4 - Jesus’ mission
Luke 10 - the Good Samaritan
Luke 16 - the Rich Man and Lazarus
that’s a start, these are my favorite.
By the way, social justice administered by a governing entity is a bad idea. But social justice administered by God-fearing people that care for the WHOLE person is good.
You sound like a man whose ancestors fought and died for this country and established a constitution and laws. As did mine and still do. Not running over with your hands out pawning off your children and expecting someone to take care of you on the expense of others. Show some respect for those you say you came from.
What does our Saviour say about beggars. I believe the U.S. WAS built on strong Christian values and believe is why our country is great and WAS is why it is declining. And the invasion of our borders and lawlessness just may be a plague. Now preach to those “kids” feed them bread and water and send them back to their country to spread the Gospel so they too may flourish one day. In the meantime close the borders.
Why am I angry, you ask? Well, let’s see.
Queers are taking over the country.
There’s a wicked, Godless Marxist in the White House who is trying his absolute best to collapse the country, via Cloward-Piven methods.
Said Marxist has orchestrated this onslaught of illegal invaders, knowing that the load will be too much for the nation to bear. And once he gets them dispersed throughout the states, it will be too hard to track them. They’ll get their amnesty, their free education and healthcare, they’ll take jobs from Americans, and they will vote for Democrats. You will never seen another Republican, much less conservative, in the White House again.
I’d pretty much have to be an idiot to not be angry, don’t you think?
And here comes a Freeper who sounds more like a liberal than anything else, who clearly doesn’t believe in borders, but does believe in social justice, and who is bleeding all over the place for these invaders and trying to tell the rest of us we don’t care enough about them.
A Freeper who is right in step with the leftwing media talking points-—they’re all innocent kids, it’s not true there are tattooed gang members, etc.
You expect patience and forbearance? Seriously?
Whether you agree with me isn’t the issue. There are more important things at stake here.
You haven’t given any proof that he does...I think he gives us institutions to establish order, and borders...but is he the God of the Universe, including our planet? And as such, might he be concerned about the goings on of the whole planet?
Thank you, Jane.
(Full disclosure: I am mad, though....reading the headlines makes me that way, LOL).
What have I stopped short of saying? I have compassion for the children that are fleeing their countries in search of something better. Period.
Nations are raised up and brought low by God as are their leaders, bexardave. There is ample scripture to this effect. No borders means one world authority. That authority will ultimately be anti-Christ. Prophecy tells us this. So, removal of borders ushers in the diametric opposite of God.
Glenn Beck is now fully insane. This is dumber than an idiot Congressman thinking we can capsize Guam.
She labeled me as a bleeding heart liberal that is self-righteous...neither are true.
My point in this whole discussion tonight is that sometimes being a Christian and learning and applying the teachings of Jesus creates a tension with our politics...
They are not our responsibility. They are the responsibility of their unfit parents, who are using them to gain entry into the country.
Let those adults stand up as men and women and change their own countries into something better, instead of coming here to bleed us dry.
We cannot take them. They do not belong here.
