3-30-21 The Moral and Constitutional Duty of Border Security

Daily Jot: The moral and Constitutional duty of border security – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com There are a myriad of depraved, immoral sins connected to the dismantling of border security by President Joe Biden and his henchmen, now including many in the Republican Party. From a national security standpoint, this open border policy is an unconstitutional high crime against the country. Deeply troubling also are the ramifications of increased drug cartel activity, murders, kidnapping and human trafficking, especially against children. Yet another consequence of this reckless nonsense is that these people will be assimilated into society without legality and will be the pawns of politicians seeking their illegal votes by incentivizing them with benefits paid by your hard-earned tax dollars. The preamble to the Constitution is the evidence of what the Founding Fathers intended for they wanted the Constitution to achieve. It reads: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” In short—keep the peace, provide for the national defense, promote (not provide) for the general welfare, and secure freedom. Open borders are a violation of all these founding precepts. Yet almost all Democrats, some Republicans and the president are supporting this crime. At a news conference about how Biden’s policies are impacting Texas, Governor Greg Abbott (R) said, “President Biden’s reckless open border policies have created a humanitarian crisis that is enriching the cartels, smugglers, and human traffickers who often prey on and abuse unaccompanied minors. Americans deserve to know what the Biden Administration is doing to investigate the surge of unaccompanied minors crossing the border and to protect those who are victims of human trafficking.” That’s not going to happen because Biden has placed a gag order on the news media. Breitbart reports a senior-level Department of Homeland Security official saying, “We have been advised not to speak on immigration issues at the border and to rely on DHS’s Office of Public Affairs and the Whitehouse Press Office to handle messaging.” Democrats have introduced the US Citizenship Act of 2021 which expedites citizenship in three years for all 11 million “undocumented immigrants,” who crossed the border illegally, including Dreamers, and some farm workers. All other illegal immigrants who pay taxes and pass a background check can have citizenship after eight years. Led by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rick Scott (R-FL), many Republicans are jumping on the amnesty bandwagon. They all hope to woo the votes of people who came to America illegally. Responsible and legal immigration is key to border security. In Leviticus 24:22, the Lord says, “You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country.” This is God’s wisdom and it’s a Constitutional and moral duty. But none of that seems to matter to the power hungry.
