I have nowhere else to vent about this, and at least maybe people here can pray for him.

Now, I am not a politics master. I know right and wrong, what should be done and not done, and such. There are things the current president of U$A does I agree with, and other things I do not because, he is an idiot. But, better than that lady who I swear is possessed by an evil force ready to force alphabet-soup people agendas into more schools.

So, anyway, Trump wants to get rid of illegals. Okay, I see not problem with that for a number of reasons. I am sure many have valid reasons, but U$A is in shambles itself with job losses, homelessness, corruption, drugs, movies being rebooted, etc. However, under some law or something, he is forcing all other non-citizens to leave. This is what I learned from a guy as we were with some friends, people who go to church and seminary school, said. He is originally from Venezuela. Came here long ago, not sure why. But he has a socials security number, he pays taxes (like all taxes, probably go to the wrong things this country needs). But he is not a citizen. He says he has only a short time before people come to send him back to his homeland because of his nationality. He says unless this president reverse some executive order, he will be on a place to Venezuela within a year. This guy has two jobs, goes to seminary, and he is being deported because of a situation with illegals? Also is a killer D&D player.

Sure, I got other beefs with this president, but this one is hitting a Godly friend who literally has been doing things the right away. Probably a slew of other people who entered America actually been trying too as well, contribute to this country and not just come in and use up what little resources we have left.

So, I not understand. What people do in politics confused my logic.

Just wanted to vent a bit about this.

Pray for Lorenzo's situation please.

Thanks.

Trump did not make the law Congress did, it was law before Trump ran the first time. Biden refused to let Border Patrol or ICE enforce the Law. The EO that Trump signed does not change the law it just allows border patrol and or ICE to enforce the law Congress passed years ago. Your friend needs to see a lawyer there are conditions in the law that might allow him to stay

Whilst I can and will pray for your friend I agree that those in ANY country illegally should be deported no matter who they have as friends My own country has in the last 15 years changed so much that 1/4 of all the people here are ILLEGALLY HERE and the numbers are growing my the MILLIONS each year  ...and that is without those who are illegal having children here 

All of us have ancestors and even some close relatives that fought and often died to bring about reforms in our countries so why should those who are not willing to do the same for their own country be allowed to coast by on the backs of others ?

I would be asking why if he has been here " a long time " he didnt apply for citizenship during all that time ???

@The Survivor

I am sorry to hear about your friend's situation.  I am guessing you are refering to a "Temporary Protected Status" case?

I am not sure if many TPS holders are eligible to apply for permanant residency or citizenship?  It might depend in part on how they entered the country perhaps?  Not sure.  Am not american.  Just based on little bits that I read.  Thanks.

It is my understanding that only people who have been approved for work can get social security numbers.  Makes me wonder how he got a number, if he's afraid of being deported.  Maybe he has more hope than we see here.   If he has an illegal SSN, being deported might be the lesser of the evils he might face.   If he is truly illegal he should go back home and seek legal entry to work and go to school.

Yes you are correct and I also believe they should be returned to their country. Australia has a good policy they require a person to prove they can support their self before being granted to live in Australia.

As far as I understand what he told me, he is legally allowed to work and school here as he has for years. He was excited when he started paying taxes years ago. I just found all this out from him Friday, and I never knew he was not a citizen of U$A. Why would I even ask, right? I really did not get into asking his life details. Nothing like this was ever brought up in the year I known him, from church and D&D.

I will see if I can find out.

both of these reasons have limitations. Years in this case sounds like a very long time, maybe he has overstayed. he should have some sort of paperwork, ask to see it

Since he is from Venezuela.. I am guessing he has 'Temporary Protected Status (TPS)'..  ?

TPS holders are legally allowed to work in the Usa.  

https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/completing-form-i-9/temporary-protected-status-and-deferred-enforced-departure#:~:text=USCIS may grant TPS to,TPS are authorized to work.

 

However the new american government is removing TPS protections to roughly half the Venezuelan TPS holders..  (and the other half might potentially lose TPS protections later this year possibly)..

https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-security-venezuela-trump-tps-noem-b7e2213c50ee11fca54613702cdaa964

If I am not mistaken.. when someone loses their TPS status /protections..  unless they have other visas or something etc.. they will have to leave the Usa.. (or face possible deportation)..?

Just my understanding.  Please let me know if it is incorrect.

Thanks very much.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
