About this sermon

Thousands of migrants continue to gather along the Southern Border, as Title 42 ends Thursday. The COVID health directive allowed border agents to easily turn away migrants seeking asylum.

The Biden Administration has singled out one group, creating a pathway to allow "qualified" Venezuelans into the country who are feeling persecution. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claims law enforcement can handle the expected surge, which even he admits could be up to 10,000 more migrants a day.

The Biden Administration is sending 1,500 troops to help with processing, but not with enforcement.
