THE BORDER: 'NO IMAGINABLE SCENARIO' TO AVOID ANOTHER DISASTER. The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz, recently said his officers have encountered 1 million illegal border crossers in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 — that is, since Oct. 1, 2021. That is a big increase over fiscal year 2021, when there were 1.734 million encounters in the entire year. And that was a big increase over fiscal year 2020, during the pandemic, when there were 458,000 encounters, and fiscal year 2019, when there were 977,000 encounters, which was a record high at the time.

Yes He did: the qualifier is My Brethren... defined as His Disciples... defined as those who continue in His word.

...which would include the many Christians who migrate from Mexico, Central America and beyond. "His Disciples" are certainly not limited by a man made boundary.

You'd have to prove that illegal activities means "Disciple of Jesus"... I don't think you can do that, given the illegal activities we're talking about here. Coveting and stealing... that's not discipleship.

Matthew 25:22-29 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, Thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.[23] His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. ...[29] For unto every one that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.(= Disciples, Matthew 13:10-12)
talanton = neuter of a presumed derivative of the original form of tlao (to bear; equivalent to 5342); a balance (as supporting weights), i.e. (by implication) a certain weight (and thence a coin or rather sum of money) or "talent":--talent.

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can ye except ye abide in Me.

zugos = from the root of zeugnumi (to join, especially by a "yoke"); a coupling, i.e. (figuratively) servitude (a law or obligation); also (literally) the beam of the balance (as connecting the scales):--pair of balances, yoke.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.[29] Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.[30] For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
So, was that a “yes” or a “no”?

That's what I've been thinking. Seems like the plan all along, doesn't it? On another thread, we see the WHO gearing up to take down whatever remains. Only the really stupid aliens are coming here.
Biden empower WHO to rule nations
Immigrants are stupid because they want to come to America?
Huh.

Huh.
Only as stupid as we would be, if we walked to Central America, so someone or some organization is thinking for them... why?

Why would we walk all that way to try and sneak into a crime-ridden failed state?

What part of our conversation did you get that from???
The only altenative would be to suppose that you regarded the US as a crime-ridden failed state. You were the one who likened immigration from Central America to immigration to Central America.

That was in regard to how little we would know, without the process being set-up for us.

The asylum process in the US is widely understood abroad. I don't know what Guatemalan or Salvadorian law has to say on the subject, but if I intended to travel there to claim asylum I could easily find out without having it "set up" for me.

Maybe you should read the posts.
I have raised the question repeatedly and studied such few direct answers which have been posted and I still don't see the threat. I put it to you that there is no threat, only an expensive and troublesome problem to solve.
