Immigration system broken

Wed., Aug. 17, 2016

The Obama administration is granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Syrians who are currently living in the U.S. illegally. Under this program, the over 8,000 Syrians who illegally crossed the U.S. border or overstayed their visas can stay in the U.S. another 18 months and gain access to work permits and other legal documents.

Our immigration system is broken and the Obama administration will not fix it. The Holy Bible states in Ephesians 4:15, “But speaking the truth in love…” It is too bad a number of people do not like to hear the truth.
