Illegal Aliens

30. April 2010 by PawBill.

I have been very fortunate in being able to travel to many countries around the world. In my travels I always carried my passport with all the required stamps but still, many border crossings were somewhat intimidating.  In today’s world I never leave home without identification. In my opinion, showing one’s identification is only a problem if there is something to hide.

I have fond memories of several border crossings in Central America, back in the early nineteen sixties, that I crossed in my travels.  They were all similar in that a wooden pole that was lowered across the road or highway was all that separated bordering states or countries. Usually there was some form of tent structure on opposing sides that housed military personnel and a make shift office. Rifles and pistols were always visible as military guards maintained strict security on their side of the border. 

So why is it so difficult for the United States to protect its borders.  Illegal immigration is a crime, and it is passed time for America to get serious about its borders and those here illegally.  Why must we grant more rights to illegal aliens than we do to our own citizens and those who are here legally?  If we cannot protect our own borders, what in the world are we doing in other parts of the world promoting our system of government and its laws? Think about it.

There is a solution to the border problem, but it will require a change in American morality.  The solution is simple.  Americans must give up: (1) illegal drugs and (2) dependence upon cheap labor being provided by illegal alien workers (Why are violations of minimum wage standards by established businesses allowed?) 

Is there hope that America, as a nation, will change? In truth, “NO.”  Look around and observe.   Immorality has become America’s God.  The old ways (adherence to the Ten Commandments, for example) of the past have been abandoned or forgotten.  Consider what Jeremiah, the Prophet, wrote concerning the old path.  In Jeremiah 6:16 NIV,  “This is what the Lord says; ‘Stand at the crossroads and look: ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.  But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”  This sounds like the “modern day” American attitude.

While my solution is intuitively obvious to me and many freedom loving Americans, as a country its institutions and those people dependent upon the government have gone too far down a path of destructive behaviors for there to be constructive change.  God was asked to leave America, and I believe He has graciously done so.

While many “American Christians” know about God, few actually know God.   Unfortunately for America, people who call themselves  “Christian” are more interested in their religious ceremonies and their own self-righteousness then in defending or returning to the “old ways.”  America’s people and politicians are just “spitting into the wind” while they unknowingly wait for “fundamental change” to transform America.

As you go about your day with all its trials and tribulations, think upon the following words found in the Bible’s book of Jude, verse 18 NIV,“ ‘… In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.’  These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.”

There may still be hope, but only if America returns to its old path of belief and faith in the one true God.  For the true Christian believer in Jesus Christ, spiritual and bodily peace nourishes and sustains their soul and spirit through these troubled times.  You too can have that peace.  I pray that you will find it.
