The Caravans aren't going to stop

Huh. What happened to the last one?

There will always be someone laying on the side of the road (or hungry, or fleeing violence).....

They are often not-our-own. Christ addressed the not-our-own question--

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 10:25-37 - New International Version

We need to see/hear that last sentence:

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise."

Thats how economic push/pull factors work. There will always be incentives to move toward or away from countries so long as such economic inequality exists or such corrupt counties exist next to fairer ones.

Huh. What happened to the last one?

Mid terms got over, I believe this one is for 2020?
tulc(guesses it's never too soon to start ringing the "CARAVANS ARE COMING!!" bell to try and scare the base into line)

The Bible speaks decisively to this issue. Romans 13:1-2 says: "Obey the government, for God is the One who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow."

And...as we can read it from many independent sources that are unalike:

We are not to do revolutions, as Paul and Peter instructed the restless in that time, and it's still true now.

But if your government tells you to break God's law, then you need other stories in the Bible for that situation. Daniel wouldn't stop praying. He didn't do an armed rebellion. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego wouldn't obey the new law to bow to the king, but they didn't lead an an armed rebellion.

There's that scripture again that magically disappeared during the 8 years of Obama's presidency. It's amazing how relevant this scripture has suddenly become again since Donald Trump was elected.

So if the government decreed that I must wear a yellow star so that I can be identified, would you believe I should follow that law?

And God in His wisdom gave us a Democratic Republic. A government by the people and for the people. We are the government.

I'm not entirely convinced that the evangelical Trump supporters who like to throw out that verse now that Trump is the president actually believe its teaching because there was constant repeating of "Let his days be few and let another take his office" during the eight years of Obama's presidency.

...Mexico is stating over 300,000 Central Americans cross through their country last year. You're right, it wont stop until the security situation improves in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. And you would do the same if you were in their shoes.

Huh. What happened to the last one?

The mid term was over, no need for a distraction anymore. Until now, something about Trump directing his attorney to lie about his involvement with Russia during the campaign.

I'm going to assume this doesn't apply to people in the government who say the wall is a terrible idea.

...El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala have the highest female homicide rates in the world. Of the four most dangerous countries for women, three are in the Northern Triangle. (The other is South Africa, which narrowly edges out Guatemala for third place.) Rape is used as a weapon of war and punishment. Children are ripped from their parents’ arms and trafficked to profit the gangs. Innocent people routinely face extortion and threats of death if they don’t acquiesce to the demands of some of the most brutal groups found anywhere on earth.

The migrant caravan in the US's fault – Trump has to let them in

daughter-in-law,
and three grandchildren.

Getting out of Mexico, she says, is a matter of life or death.
