Illegal Immigrants Are Flooding the Texas Border by the Thousands
The United States is experiencing the largest invasion in her history, and it’s happening at the Texas border.
According to The Blaze, Fox News Digital has reported that more than 2,200 illegal immigrants rushed the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas on Monday morning.
“As of June 2023, FAIR estimates that approximately 16.8 million illegal aliens reside in the United States. This is significantly higher than our January 2022 illegal alien population estimate of 15.5 million. This estimate is also a 2.3 million increase from our end-of-2020 estimate, meaning the illegal alien population increased 16 percent nationwide during just the first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.”
America is being invaded through our border crisis.
But why does the border matter? Does one have a right to enter a country they have not been permitted to enter? Far too many Americans have accepted the notion that borders, particularly America’s national border, are “racist,” and meant to hold people back from creating a better life. That simply is not true.
If one looks around the world, there is not a single country that does not have a system of customs to enter the country. A nation physically cannot be a nation without borders. When someone purchases a home on land or even a small parcel of property, is there not a boundary around the home to establish where the property begins and ends? Every home has that.
America is no different. For America to be a country, she must have boundaries to distinguish her lands from other lands of other countries. There is no other way to have a nation. If a person owns a home, and an uninvited guest enters the home, the homeowner will naturally consider that person a threat, because they were not invited. Why should America, as a nation, be treated any differently? We have uninvited guests, many of which mean to do us harm, such as the Mexican Cartel.
It is also argued that the Constitution, under Article 1, Section 8, does not expressly state that Congress has the power to secure the nation’s border; that Congress only has the authority to establish uniform rules of naturalization: “To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States…” This is a flawed interpretation of the Constitution. Justice Joseph Story wrote:
“There must necessarily be admitted powers by implication, unless the constitution descended to the most minute details. It is a general principle, that all corporate bodies possess all powers incident to a corporate capacity, without being absolutely expressed.”
The exclusion of a power to “secure the national border” does not mean that power does not exist. It exists through necessary implication—by the principles of a wise and free government. If a nation does not have borders, it cannot be a nation.
“You shall not move your neighbor’s boundary mark, which the ancestors have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess.”
Territory and boundaries are found throughout scripture and play a pivotal role in blessings, protection, inheritance, and obedience. We ought to heed His Word and wisely use the tools our founding fathers gave us to protect our homeland from all foreign invasions.
