Michael Snyder points out how our nation has become a Powder Keg

Important Takeaways:

  • What Happens When You Add Millions Of Desperate Immigrants To A Nation That Has Already Become A Powder Keg?
  • At this moment, the United States is conducting a massive social experiment. We have thrown our borders wide open and we are allowing vast hordes of extremely desperate illegal immigrants into this country every single day.  We are doing this even though our nation is already a powder keg that could erupt at literally any moment.
  • The truth is that we are literally committing national suicide.
  • Transnational gangs from South America have been systematically robbing homes as far north as Michigan, and the sheriff of Oakland County says that this has been happening all over the nation…
  • And thousands of additional illegal immigrants come pouring over the border with each passing day.
  • On Monday, U.S. officials encountered more illegal immigrants at the border than they ever have before…
  • Needless to say, many Republicans in Congress are fed up with this administration.
    • US Congressman Tony Gonzales tweeted a video showing a sea of migrants waiting under a bridge in Eagle Pass, the community he represents, waiting to be processed by US Border Patrol.
    • ‘14,000+ crossed ILLEGALLY yesterday & 26,000+ already in custody – the HIGHEST in US history,’ the Republican posted online.
    • Christmas Day will be WORSE. President Biden has abandoned border communities like mine.’
  • This nation is already a powder keg, and we keep adding more illegal immigrants to the equation with each passing day.
  • This story is going to end very badly, but most of you already knew that.

Some migrants going home instead of staying in Chicago: ‘The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore. There’s nothing here for us’

Migrants-in-Chicago

Important Takeaways:

  • Chicago is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing BACK to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused jobs, with 20,700 border crossers so-far bussed to Dem-run ‘sanctuary city’
  • Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State’s Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as ‘sanctuary cities.’ They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants.
  • Now, Illinois’ harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.
  • Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune: ‘The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore. There’s nothing here for us.’
  • ‘We didn’t know things would be this hard. I thought the process was faster,’ he said about the job permit situation in Chicago.
  • The city is also notorious for violent crime, with migrants forced to sleep in public more vulnerable to attack than most.
  • At least 40 people in the last month have left Chicago’s 1st District station to either move back home or elsewhere in the States, with the help of Catholic Charities of Chicago.
  • While most hail from Venezuela, they come from all over the world, including Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
  • The city has allocated $4 million to help migrants find temporary housing, and the state has contributed another $38 million.

NY Mayor handing out fliers urging migrants to go elsewhere

NY urges migrants to leave

Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Mayor Eric Adams announced the plan on Wednesday, arguing the city could not handle any more migrants as it has taken in 90,000 since April last year.
  • “We have no more room,” said the leader of America’s biggest city.
  • A copy of the flier tells migrants: “Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the US.”
  • It warns – in English and in Spanish – that the cost of food, transportation and other necessities in New York are expensive and says the city cannot guarantee housing and other social services for new arrivals.
  • Critics of Mr Adams’ new plan argue it violates the city’s right-to-shelter rules, which guarantee temporary housing for those in need. Mr Adams has attempted to weaken those rules amid the influx of migrants.
  • In May, he announced he would send willing migrants to nearby counties outside of the city, sparking a backlash from some local New York officials.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams

Deuteronomy 28:43-53 43 “Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours. 44 They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers. 45 “All these disasters will come on you, and they will be with you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep all the laws that he gave you. 46 They will be the evidence of God’s judgment on you and your descendants forever. 47 The Lord blessed you in every way, but you would not serve him with glad and joyful hearts. 48 So then, you will serve the enemies that the Lord is going to send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, and naked – in need of everything. The Lord will oppress you harshly until you are destroyed. 49 The Lord will bring against you a nation from the ends of the earth, a nation whose language you do not know. They will swoop down on you like an eagle. 50 They will be ruthless and show no mercy to anyone, young or old. 51 They will eat your livestock and your crops, and you will starve to death. They will not leave you any grain, wine, olive oil, cattle, or sheep; and you will die. 52 They will attack every town in the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and the high, fortified walls in which you trust will fall. 53 “When your enemies are besieging your towns, you will become so desperate for food that you will even eat the children that the Lord your God has given you.
