SAN DIEGO CHRISTIANS FOR SECURE BORDERS

SAN DIEGO, CA. San Diego Christians for Secure Borders calls on Federal and local officials to immediately secure our southern border with Mexico.

- Hundreds of tons of dangerous illegal drugs are pouring across our open border each year and being used to poison our children.
- Known criminals and dangerous gang members are illegally crossing our border each day. 12 Americans are murdered each day by illegal alien criminals. (source: Rep. Steve King)
- Hundreds of known citizens from terrorist countries cross our southern border each year.
- Millions of poor, uneducated economic refugees from Mexico and Latin America “migrate” illegally to America each year. America cannot absorb and care for all the world’s poor. The American worker and middle class are being destroyed!
- America has the most generous immigration system in the world – allowing over 1 million foreign citizens to immigrate to the U.S. annually.
- ICE is enforcing U.S. immigration law humanely by removing illegal aliens when contacted and allowing their familiy members to return home with them. Christians believe this is a fair and necessary means of dealing with the estimated 20 million illegal aliens living illegally in the United States.
- Churches and other groups who provide sanctuary for people who are breaking the law are committing illegal acts themselves and we find this unacceptable. Aiding and abetting criminals is denounced by the majority of Christians in San Diego and America.
