The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

EL PASO, TEXAS – In an aerial view, immigrants line up to be processed to make asylum claims at a makeshift migrant camp on May 11, 2023, in El Paso, Texas. The number of illegal aliens reaching the border has surged with the end of the U.S. government’s Covid-era Title 42 policy, which for the past three years has allowed for the quick expulsion of illegal aliens entering the country.

Last week witnessed the end of Title 42, the Coved-era rule put in place by the Trump Administration allowing for expedited deportation of illegal aliens. Predictably, a tidal wave of illegal aliens gathered on America’s southern border in the weeks leading up to the end of Title 42 on May 11, and this group has now swarmed the border. See here, here, here, for videos of illegal aliens rushing the border in the days leading up to May 11.
Some people have described this influx of illegal aliens over the past 2 plus years under the Biden Regime as the “failure” of Biden’s border policy. For example, a recent piece in the New York Post described El Paso, TX as “the latest ground zero for President Joe Biden’s failed border policies.” But Biden’s border policies can be considered a failure only if one supposes they were designed to protect the property, lives, and communities of the American people.
But there’s no reason to believe this is the case. In my opinion, the entire purpose of Biden’s border policies has been to create the very situation that has unfolded over the past 2-plus years. The illegal alien invasion is the policy. And that policy is the original with the Biden Regime. As this blog has contended for many years, the illegal alien assault on America is a creature of the Vatican. The Roman Catholic, Jesuit-influenced Joe Biden and his administration are merely carrying out in practice the welfare immigration of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State.
Why does Rome push its unchristian, nation-breaking, and destructive immigration policies? Certainly, one reason is that it’s part of Rome’s overarching plan to create a one-world government and one-world religion. Rome of the granddaddy of all globalist enterprises. Those who think the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, Bill Gates, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, or George Soros are the leading globalists are very much mistaken. Rome predates them all. What is more, the popes of Rome and their henchmen have regularly and openly called for world government.
The looming expiry of Title 42 is expected to bring an influx of migrants to the southern US border.
Your land, strangers devour it in your presence.
Isaiah 1:7
When I was a kid, I remember going on a snipe hunt. A snipe, we were told, was this somewhat mysterious beast that came out at night, and it was our job to catch one. The problem was nobody seemed to really know what a snipe looked like. That’s a bit of a problem. Because if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you can’t recognize it, even if it’s standing right in front of you. Unsurprisingly, our search for the mythical snipe, while it was a lot of fun, ultimately proved fruitless.
The contemporary Protestant church is much like we kids were on our snipe hunt. Books are written about Antichrist and some people seem to know who he is or was. The preterists will tell you Antichrist has long since come and gone in the person of the emperor Nero. We have nothing to fear from him in the 21st century. The futurist school, which dominates in our own time, sees Antichrist as having not yet come. While preterism and futurism come to very different conclusions about the identity of Antichrist, they have this one thing in common, there is no current Antichrist.
Actually, preterism and futurism have something else in common: They were both developed by the Jesuits during the counterreformation to take the heat off the pope, whom the reformers almost to a man had identified as the Antichrist, man of sin, and son of perdition of the Scriptures. This stance, identifying the office of the papacy as the Antichrist, is one facet of the Protestant school of prophetic interpretation known as historicism.

I haven’t written about immigration for a little while, but not because the Biden Regime’s treasonous, Vatican-directed destruction hasn’t been proceeding apace. Perhaps I’ve been a bit distracted. At any rate, if the immigration stories over the past few days are true, and I have every reason to believe they are, Biden’s border treason is about to go next level.
Per the New York Post, “Biden all but admits we’ll see even worse border chaos in May.” Why will it be worse? The Vaticanite Biden Regime will be removing one of the remaining legal barriers to a complete overrun of our southern border by illegal alien welfare invaders, the Title 42 restrictions. Title 42 is a code that has been in place for decades, but which the Trump administration used to remove bogus asylum seekers on the argument that they posed a public health risk during the Covid emergency.
Of course, we’re glad the Covid emergency is ending. It should never have been declared in the first place. But Title 42 has been effective in keeping the Biden Regime’s border invasion less disastrous than it otherwise would have been. According to this piece from PBS, “Since 2020, there have been more than 2 million expulsions of migrants by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the southern border using Title 42.”
You can say this for the migrants demanding more free stuff from City Hall: They’re fast learners about the new American ethos of endless entitlement.
Schooled and led by far-left activists, they arrive here within days of illegally crossing the southern border and claiming asylum, then start agitating for better accommodations in pricey neighborhoods.
The only thing I would add to Goodwin’s statement is that this is simply the umpty-umpth example of Roman Catholic immigration/economic/political theory in action. Get ‘em in, keep ‘em in, put ‘em on the dole. That’s Rome’s game plan for “Romanizing America through Illegal Immigration.”
Note what Goodwin says about “demanding more free stuff from City Hall.” Whenever Rome starts in with one of its sentimental sob stories about standing in solidarity with asylum seekers and migrants of one sort or another and talking about a nation’s “obligation to accommodate migrant flows,” what they mean is that you have an obligation to fork over your hard-earned money to support people who trash your city and protest they’re not getting enough free stuff from you.
This in no way, shape, or form is Christian charity. Christian charity is about giving one’s own goods. Rome, on the other hand, traffics in stolen virtue. The Pope, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, etc. all love to talk about humane they are while spending your money to support demanding people who have contempt both for you and your home country., people who are taught by these same bishops, cardinals, and popes that they are entitled to your goods.

For the first time in his nearly 2 years in office, Joe Biden will visit America’s southwestern border today to lie to the American people once again about what he and his Regime are doing to destroy the nation that he supposedly represents through the policy of mass, welfare migration.
As America’s second Roman Catholic president, Joe Biden has wasted no time implementing the welfare immigration program of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, a program designed to weaken and subvert the United States and to strengthen the hand of the Vatican in the internal affairs of the nation. The goal of this program is to render the United States ungovernable and fold it into a regional, and finally a world government with the Pope – the man who claims to be the father of kings, governor of the world, and vicar of Christ – as the head.
While the lying legacy media portray America’s border crisis as if it, like Melchizedek, were without father or mother or genealogy, the parentage of America’s illegal alien migration disaster is very clearly known. It is a creation of the Democrats generally, of the Biden Regime more particularly, and of the Vatican ultimately.
But while the Vatican origins of the current immigration crisis are not hard to see, most Americans, even Reformed Christians who of all people should have the discernment to see the scam for what it is, fail to grasp what is being done to them and by whom it is being done.
The Antichrist Roman Church-State has been active on our southern border for years, decades really, promoting the destruction of America through mass Roman Catholic, welfare migration. But in the past few years, Rome has stepped up its game. Jesuit Pope Francis paid a visit to Juarez in January 2016, celebrating a mass that was simulcast in the Sun Bowl in El Paso. Unsurprisingly, Francis used this occasion to promote his favorite nation-breaking ploy, mass welfare migration.
The Wall Street Journal reporting on the Pope’s visit to Juarez noted, “While many are expected to cross the border to see the papal Mass at the nearby Juárez fairgrounds, some 600 ‘VIPs’ invited by the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso – migrants, labor advocates, nuns and immigration activists – will gather to watch the pope from a levee on the U.S. side.”
In another article on the same subject from February 9, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported, “Pope Francis arrives in Mexico on Friday for a six-day visit that will end with a highly symbolic and potentially controversial act: the pontiff taking a stand on the fortified U.S. border to show solidarity with the migrants trying to cross it.” The Journal even went so far as to refer to migration as, “the expected theme of the pope’s Juárez visit.”
With this in mind, is it any big surprise that seven years later El Paso is the epicenter of Antichrist’s illegal alien assault on America?

“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”
It would be hard to find a single statement from this evil man that would better summarize his entire administration than this. You may even say it’s his Marie Antoinette moment, the queen of France who is said to have responded “let them eat cake” when told the peasants had no bread.
As her statement was a callous dismissal of the suffering of the poor people of France, the very people for whom she had a responsibility as a member of France’s royal family, so too does Biden’s brusque comment to the reporter show his callous disregard for the suffering his irresponsible immigration policies have caused the American people and will cause them in the future.
But what if Biden’s border disaster is not a failure at all, but rather a roaring success? Even before he took office, Biden and the Democrats generally signaled their intention to reverse the Trump administration’s border enforcement policies that had done a great deal to cut down on illegal immigration. According to this article, on day one of his administration Biden signed seven, seven!, executive orders essentially gutting all the progress Trump had made on immigration during his four years in office. Did Biden not know what he was doing? Some people think he’s so senile that he was clueless. I’m not so sure. But whether it was Biden himself doing this or whether he was just carrying out the order of his handlers, whoever was responsible for these executive orders had to know full well that they would create chaos at our southern border and were willing to accept that chaos as the price of doing business. Put differently, these policy changes, and the resulting massive influx of illegal aliens, were not bumbling mistakes on the part of the Biden regime, but the clear intention of the policymakers who drafted these executive orders and, in my opinion, of the president himself.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things?
Matthew 20:15
A few weeks back, I received a text message from Tim Shaughnessy, a friend and Reformed brother who lives in El Paso Texas, about an emergency with a church he pastors. El Paso sits in the far west of Texas, right across the US-Mexico border from the large Mexican city of Juarez. The Rio Grande forms the border between both cities and both countries. Knowing El Paso’s location, and if you follow the news at all, you won’t be surprised when you hear what the emergency was.
Tim’s church had been meeting at the Rescue Mission of El Paso, and the chaplain of the mission called up Tim on a Saturday and told him that his church would not be able to use the mission’s building for services on Sunday. The city had been dropping off migrants at the mission and the entire facility was packed with people and full of cots. Given the vast scale of the current flood of illegal aliens pouring across America’s southern border, doubtless the loss suffered by Tim’s church could be multiplied many times over.
The current immigration disaster started with the inauguration of America’s second Roman Catholic president, Joe Biden, in January 2021 and shows no signs of letting up. Indeed, by some reports, the flood of illegal aliens, far from subsiding, is getting worse.
Since I mentioned El Paso earlier, let’s look at a few immigration-related headlines from just this one Texas city.
These stories all paint a picture of one American city being overwhelmed by illegal aliens with little hope of relief. Indeed, migrant numbers historically are higher as we move into fall and cooler weather comes to the region making passage safer for those seeking to enter the United States illegally. As Tim said in his message to me, “Our city is overwhelmed right now.”
That, one could say, is an understatement.
But while America is being overwhelmed with a flood of illegal aliens, it’s important to keep in mind that this flood is not some force of nature, but the result of deliberate policies put in place by the current president and his government. On his first day in office, Joe Biden signed an executive order pausing the construction of the border wall. And this was not the only action taken by the president and by other Democratic government officials across the nation to make it easier for migrants illegally to cross America’s southern border, to make it harder to deport them, and indeed, even to reward them once in the United States.
To give you some idea of how Biden has encouraged illegal immigration to America, a quote from the article “The Border Crisis Comes to a Once-Quite part of West Texas” will suffice. In this piece, journalist Todd Bensman interviewed a “human smuggling guide” whose name was given as Jose Antonio. Antonio referred to Biden’s immigration policies as la invitación, the invitation.
Indeed, one would have a hard time coming up with a better name than la invitación to describe the immigration policies of Joe Biden in particular and the Democrats in general. To show just how committed the Democrats are as a party to forcing American taxpayers to support illegal aliens, consider the response of the field of democratic presidential candidates in 2019 to a show of hands question about whether their health plan would cover “undocumented immigrants” – the proper term for “undocumented immigrants” is “illegal aliens.” The response of all ten of the Democrats present was to raise their hands “yes.” You can see the video here.
There is no provision in the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s ruling notwithstanding, for the federal government to fund anyone’s “health plan,” not even health plans for the American people. And if it is unconstitutional, and more to the point, immoral for the federal government to use tax dollars to pay Americans’ doctor bills, how much more is it unconstitutional and immoral for the federal government to use tax dollars taken from the American people to pay medical bills for foreigners who have violated America’s immigration laws?
So, ask yourself this question: If you tell people to go ahead and break America’s immigration laws and we’ll reward you with fabulous cash and prizes, do you think you will get more immigration law-breaking or less immigration law-breaking? If you said, “more immigration law-breaking,” go to the head of the class.
