"The exiles from Jerusalem who are in
Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev."
(Obadiah 20)

Personally, I'm a third generation and my wife is a
fourth generation American. Our grandchildren are fifth
and sixth generation our great granddaughter is
seventh generation American. (Our forefathers were
on this side of the border before the Southwest was
part of the USA.) Despite this, I know the feeling of
living in fear and intimidation during my growing up
years as I visited parts of my native city where I wasn't
welcomed.
How can we secure our borders and deal with illegal
immigration in a prudent and humane way? Simple-
God has blessed America with incredible genius.
When we pool knowledgeable people with a caring
heart together, there is a spark of the miraculous that
emanates from these interactions. Sure, things get
heated at times because iron sharpens iron and
sparks fly all over the place. But we ascend to even
higher planes through these interactions.
We need to challenge our local and state leaders to
put pressure on our national leaders so that they
might begin to identify leaders in different fields of our
society to address this issue. We do not want a bunch
of politicians to control this operative. We need
professors, lawyers, physicians, plumbers,
carpenters, scientists, school teachers, housewives,
ranchers, farmers. We also need theologians and
philosophers from among our Jewish and Christian
communities. Not to forget-we urgently need
grassroots folks of different ethnicities to sit alongside
these elite thinkers of our day; and to come up with
recommendations that can serve the needs of our
citizenry as well as the aliens that have always and
shall always live among us.
Above all, we need to put God and godly people in the
middle of this. We'll need an army of people praying
all across our nation. Failure to do this in a humane
manner could spell chaos and a possible insurrection
that'll only maximize our problems all across our 2000
mile U.S.-Mexican border.

There's a lot of confusion regarding illegal
immigration today. Many have formed opinions or
taken a position based on media reports and political
debates. Let's ascend above this for a minute and
consider some other perspective.
We can't afford to alienate over 500 million neighbors
to the south of us because of arrogance or fear.
America is going to need all the friends it can get
within our hemisphere as more and more nations are
antagonistic towards us and some are developing
methods of mass destruction such as nuclear and
chemical and biological technologies-all aimed at us!
