Congress has finally committed to a formal dialogue with faith leaders regarding humane reform. This outcome reflects the persistence of every person who raised their concern through this platform. We will continue to monitor their progress to ensure these promises translate into tangible change.

It’s time for Congress to act. The lives of women and children are in the balance. The partisan bickering and unwillingness to compromise have allowed the immigration issue to remain unresolved for too long. We can see the effects of Congress not acting to solve the immigration issue by the human suffering we are witnessing at our borders and within our country.
As a faith-based community, we have a responsibility to assist those in need, including our undocumented immigrants at our border with Mexico. Pastors and faith leaders must have a voice and place in addressing the immigration issue.
The time has come for sound and practical immigration reform to help those who are already in our country. We are to deal humanely with those who are in our country.
Recall the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: "Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
We are to also have compassion for those who are outside of our border and offer aide when possible.
We are asking Congress to join with faith leaders to address the immigration issue in a humane way. It is time for both parties to put aside the power struggle and solve the immigration issue for the sake of our safety and security and for all involved. We urge you to sign our petition today and ask Congress to embrace a united effort to pass sensible and humane immigration policies.
We, the undersigned, believe that it is crucial to pursue practical and humane immigration reform. We support the following:
- Support the federal government’s role in securing our border by building a barrier.
- Keep our borders secure
- Implement sound immigration reform
- Involve the faith-based community to help at the border
- Increase faith-based humanitarian efforts to help meet the needs of the caravan at the border
- Provide a path to citizenship for qualified immigrants in our country

A comprehensive resolution of this issue must be developed by all parties working together vs. grandstanding for their one issue. Collaborative, holistic approaches have got to become the norm on this and all issues. People in government need to develop these skills or get out.
This makes sense! I am tired of politicians equating safe borders with anti immigration. Immigration should be safer and cheaper than hiring a Coyote. Immigration should come through a welcoming FRONT DOOR!
As an American Veteran, I believe that any sovereign nation should control who comes in and out of their borders. Otherwise it's a free for all and legal residents will pay the biggest price. To do otherwise is to "give away" all that we've defended during our history.
Thank you, Pastor Owens for your and your wife's efforts to lead and encourage others to join in rational, immigration law reforms based upon and in accordance with biblical principles and Christian faith.
It is time for our elected leaders to lead with integrity and compassion. Building a barrier is compassionate as it redirects immigrants to a legal point of entry where they will be treated with respect and compassion.
secure our borders, please
God bless America!!!! God bless President Trump!!!!

Immigration reform will save lives on both sides of the border. We need to end child trafficking and drugs pouring into our country and endangering lives; we must also help those who are being victimized by cartels.
