PRAY WITH US about migrants crossing Texas border, that God will:

Move on all seeking more opportunities in the US to find Christ and His good will for them. Furthermore, release revelation in Latin American countries of His plans to prosper them and not harm them. And release revival in those countries so that people will use that prosperity rightly.
Expose all efforts to exploit migrants with smuggling, human trafficking and drug trafficking. Also, bring the exploiters to justice and turn those considering exploitation to Christ instead. And demolish the cartel strongholds to replace them with businesses that God can bless.
Stop the plague of Covid-19 transmission with miracles and proven vaccines. Also, show immigrants in the US Christ’s way to salvation, health, legal standing & productive lives. And turn us all from dependence on government to dependence on God.

PRAYER ALERT: Migrants Crossing Texas Border Open Way for Covid & Drugs

Migrants crossing into Texas are testing positive for Covid-19 at up to 7 times the rates in the US. But only about 100 of the 500-800 daily border crossers are getting tested.

Pastor Bill Reagan runs a migrant shelter in Harlingen, Texas called Loaves & Fishes. Unfortunately, the migrants are multiplying far faster than his food or shelter spaces. He says that customs officials should release migrants into the US only after they quarantine for 14 days. And only then if they test negative. “But I also understand they’re overwhelmed.”

Since Biden reinstated the Obama policy of catch-and-release, migrants have flooded the border. So they know that even if caught entering illegally, officials will release them into the US. And that officials often never find released migrants for processing their legal status.

Trafficking in drugs & people

In February alone, 100,441 migrants, including up to 9,500 unaccompanied minors, crossed the border. And that does not include countless migrants who escaped detection. Moreover, the crowding of non-social-distanced migrants means that they can easily catch Covid-19 from others. And minors can too easily fall into the clutches of human traffickers.

In response, Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying the Texas National Guard and tactical units to the border. Their purpose: “to deny Mexican Cartels & smugglers the ability to move drugs & people into Texas.”
