  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes, prayers that we will all keep this in mind


:praying:
I agree to be gracious to the needy, but if I may, I will help define what the needy are in terms of immigration. First, are all illegals poor and needy? Some may just need a better country. That is fine, but currently, many Americans are waiting in a 1-2 year line for their loved ones, even spouses to get in the USA. Are they in many cases even more needy? Should the undocumented be treated better than them? Undocumented do not have required physicals, sponsorship with income requirements, and fees that are around 2,000 dollars.

Also, currently the USA treats the most needy non-resident aliens the worst when it comes to immigration. Some foreign citizens can't even get a transit visa for the USA. A tourist visa from Nigeria for instance is at least a two year wait. Meanwhile the richer EU citizen does not need any visa.
So the entire immigration system is not only broken, but it discriminates against the poor and against those that wait in line. I feel some compassion for the undocumented, but in perspective there are others that are far more needy than at least some of them. Also if we are going to only go by need alone, then the USA should open their doors far more for certain countries, but immigration rarely works like that.
I will say that I have trust in Gov. Noem to lead the USA in helping bring better order out of the entire US immigration system. God bless America.

I hear what you're saying

May we keep in mind the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control :praying:

Through Jesus Christ our Lord ✝
