Thousands of Illegals Already Moving Toward the Border

Fox News was the first to report that the newly formed caravan of about 2000 people---and growing-- is moving toward our southern border.

They appear to be from Central and South America.

The newly elected Democrats are welcoming them, while Mexico is apparently providing shelter and food each night as they continue their journey to the promised land.

The Left is promising them all the benefits they became accustomed to during the Obama and Biden eras.

President Trump is promising them they will not be allowed to enter the United States.

This is a developing story.

Be informed, not misled.

Fox News posted this yesterday morning on social media:

BREAKING: A new caravan of nearly 2,000 people appearing to come from Central and South America is making its way toward the U.S. southern border following Democrats’ midterm landslide.

President Trump is now threatening to double current tariffs on Mexico if officials don’t stop the caravan from reaching the American border, saying that migrants will not be allowed to enter the country.

Breitbart News reports, "Mexico’s government began providing the migrant caravan headed to the U.S. with police escorts and is allowing them to sleep in municipal auditoriums as the growing group makes their way towards Mexico City and eventually the U.S. border."

Breitbart News Foundation has confirmed the new presence of police vehicles escorting the migrants along the daily routes, something that was not happening when the caravan started. This caravan, called God With Us (Dios Con Nosotros), is the third to make its way through Mexico and the first to start after the November election results, when most contested seats went to the Democratic Party.

Unlike in the previous caravans, where support from Mexico’s government was not openly seen or noticed, this group is now openly being escorted by Mexican police forces throughout their journey. Additionally, the group is being given places to stay in various city auditoriums and large venues in southern Mexico as they continue their journey.

As in previous caravans, the group is expected to make their way on foot to Mexico City, where prior caravans have disbanded as the migrants find various modes of transportation to reach the U.S. border.

The U.S. government has openly said through social media messages that they will not be allowed into the country, adding that the election results have not changed immigration policy or law. According to posts from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, most migrants in the caravan have no legal pathway to enter the United States and obtain legal status.

In fact, some Republicans close to the president have reminded him that President Ronald Reagan, a great president, one of his few regrets, but significant regrets, was amnesty. And I don't think Trump wants to make that mistake."

Is border control morally right?

What does the Bible say about borders?

Bryan Fischer has done a great deal of research on the matter of national sovereignty and borders.

Crossing a border without permission is like breaking in the back door of a house to help yourself to goodies instead of being invited in by the host through the front door. You might get to eat either way, in the same house and from the same cupboard, but in one case you would be doing something respectful and civil and in the other doing something that rightly should land you in jail.

The Scriptures make it clear that national sovereignty, including clearly defined borders, is God's idea. In Acts 17:26, we read, "And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place..." (Emphasis mine throughout.)

Two things, we are told, are under God's sovereign control: how long a nation lasts, and where its borders are. The verb translated "having determined" is the Greek verb "horizo," from which we get the word "horizon." It means "to mark out, to define." So God has marked out and defined the borders of each country.

Our southern border is there by God's design. To disregard it, to treat it as if were not there, to regard it as something not worth respecting and defending, is an insult to the God who put it there for our benefit.

Fischer continues with this example from the book of Joshua.

"The bulk of the second half of Joshua is a record of the promised land being divided up among the 12 tribes. What is striking is how thorough and detailed the description of each tribal boundary is. In Joshua 15 the word 'boundary' is found no less than 15 times in describing the perimeter of Judah."

"For instance, here's the description of the southern boundary: 'It goes out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of Kadesh-barnea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karak, passes along to Azmon, goes out by the Brook of Egypt and comes to its end at the sea. This shall be your southern boundary'" (Joshua 15:3-4)."

Such detailed delineations continue from chapter to chapter.

An example 

Via Bryan Fischer.

That such national boundaries are to be respected is made plain by no less a personage than Moses himself. In a largely forgotten passage, Numbers 20:14-21, we read that Moses sought permission from the king of Edom to cross his border and pass through his land. When permission was refused, Moses didn't force his way in; he respected the king's decision and went around Edom to the East.

Moses couched his original request this way: "Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, or drink water from a well...we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory."

The king's response? "You shall not pass through." Moses tries a second time to secure an entrance visa. "We will go up by the highway, and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on foot, nothing more."

The king of Edom was utterly impervious to this plea for so much as a tourist visa. "You shall not pass through." How did Moses react to this denial of permission to immigrate into and through the sovereign territory of another nation? Did he barge ahead anyway? Try to sneak in under cover of darkness? Did he launch a military strike to secure passage? Nope. "Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel turned away from him."

Takeaway

The lesson? Each nation's sovereignty is marked by its borders, and each nation has the moral right to decide who may enter its sovereign territory. Moses recognized this, and so should we. The only exception is under circumstances of a just war.

One often ignored principle in the evangelical debate over immigration policy is that the Bible clearly teaches support for the rule of law. Romans 13 makes this abundantly clear. Good laws are to be honored and respected by all. God has given to civil government authority to sanction and punish the transgression of its laws, which are designed to "ensure domestic tranquility," as the Founders put it, by preserving peace and stability. As Paul put it, God's desire is that our political leaders act in such a way that "we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way" (1 Timothy 2:2).

This makes any support for illegal immigration highly problematic for right-thinking evangelicals. An illegal alien is, by definition, a law-breaker.

So evangelicals ought to support legal immigration while firmly opposing immigration of the illegal variety. The orderly process of legal immigration allows us to screen those who wish to live here for criminal behavior and for disease, which compromise our national security and our nation's health, respectively.
