Border officials are concerned about upcoming changes in immigration rules that may allow even more illegal migrants to enter the southern border. Now more than ever we need to pray over our border.
From Fox News. Officials in El Paso, Texas, a border city that has seen an increase in migrants crossing over into the United States from Mexico, told city leaders on Monday that the numbers of people illegally crossing into the city “are unsustainable,” days before Title 42 is set to expire.

El Paso Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino was speaking to the City Council when he laid out the latest migrant figures. He said the city was seeing an average of 2,500 apprehensions daily. Over the weekend, the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector saw a daily average of more than 2,400 migrants.
D’Agostino noted that large numbers of migrants are crossing into the U.S. despite Title 42, a Trump-era public health order slated to expire in the coming days, being in place. The order allows for the rapid removal of migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It expires on Dec. 21. …
