the border and all the issues that it
raises we're going to be talking about
that today on real life talk
hi i'm pastor jack kibbs and i am part
of the evangelical for trump movement
that is of course open and available to
anyone of you to join you can go to the
website you can get uh up to date
information on what's going on regarding
the evangelicals involvement and the
dynamic of promoting a biblical
worldview and i'm also blessed to be
part of the faith initiative team
regarding
president trump
uh what i want to bring to you today and
i pray that would be something that
would bring comfort to you
is something that i'm
that's near and dear to my heart for
several reasons number one i was born in
san diego uh
we would it was not uncommon for us to
go
uh and visit tijuana on a regular basis
uh for fun for shopping for bull
fighting when i lived in san diego my
dad was a big fan of all that and we had
a great time so mexico san diego
born and raised southern california
the border i get that
the other thing is this that the god of
the bible says that he is the one both
in the book of daniel and in the book of
acts that has established the borders of
nations and has placed those citizens
within the boundaries of those nations
in other words god is a god of borders
and today the topic of border and border
enforcement and border control is a big
deal
a big political talking point and i want
you to know
that uh first of all you should know
that i'm not being paid to say what i'm
about to say
i get nothing out of what i'm about to
say just the satisfaction of telling you
the truth so that you might be able to
pass it on
so having said that
uh
coming up now to 2020
i made a a call to washington dc
as a southern california pastor and i
happen to pastor a large church and i
know that there are people in our church
i've met them i know them who are not
here legally
they're here illegally
and they're scared
and so i reached out and i asked this
question
can i take a tour of the border the
border facilities and can i bring other
pastors with me
so that we can see what is really going
on down there and we can tell other
people about it
and that request was granted and so a
couple of weeks ago we spent well over
six hours
in
vehicles going along the border we went
into the processing facilities we went
uh to the border crossing
area at san ysidro
and we talked to
all day long we had with us two
representatives from each of the three
authorities we had department of
homeland security we had california
border control and we had ice
that is immigration
customs enforcement and so they were our
hosts
for that day and we got to see
everything
and the first thing that i and the other
pastors were surprised about was the
incredible level i was blown away with
the level of professionalism
on our side professionalism
highly educated
uh border agents
and
what was also very beautiful was the
cleanliness of the entire process
friends i promise you
the process at san ysidro the standing
in line and getting your papers looked
at and speaking to a border agent was no
different
no different in carpet no different in
wall color no different in paint
than going through customs at lax at los
angeles international airport same i
could have taken a picture wasn't
allowed but i could have taken a picture
you would have thought i was coming back
into the country
into los angeles having said that
we got to we had a chance to ask
questions we had we had a chance to go
through uh and examine the fence and the
wall and all of this stuff that you hear
about can i tell you something we didn't
see one cage
we didn't see families separated for the
reasons you think
did you know that the images that you
see on youtube and on the web of kids in
cages
did you know that came from the george
bush and barack obama era
did you know that trump had those cages
done taken away with
did you know that the facilities at san
ysidro which is the largest border
crossing in the world i didn't know that
more people crossed the border in and
out of california u.s mexico
to vacation do business uh trucks
uh workers
day pass
uh all of that more crossing in 24 hours
than any other spot on earth
the enhancement to technology
uh
what the agents needed regarding uh
process equipment arms their their
weaponry that they need
did you know that because the wall i'll
just call it the wall in california it's
not actually a wall it's a fence
it's a formidable fence it's a 30 foot
high fence it's a double fence
one part of the fence is about
50 yards away from the second part of
the fence so there's a no man's land in
between
but um
anyway we'll just call it the wall for
now did you know i was shocked to find
out
that in mexico city for example the
kidnapped capital of the world
did you know that there are more
children kidnapped in mexico city than
any other place in the world
30 40 miles out in mexico from this
border of the u.s and mexico did you
know that kidnappings have dramatically
dropped of little kids
do you want to know what we learned
we learned for example because you can't
sneak through anymore because it's been
shut down it's forcing everybody to go
through the legal border crossings that
drug cartel sex trafficking cartel
human trafficking cartel have been
forced now to rethink their plan and
they can't go through the rickety old
fence that was there before
now they're being forced to go through
regular channels like you and i would
have to go through
and did you know that they were taking
some families for example hostage on the
highway and using their vehicle and
their families to get across to get
drugs to get people
across the border and when you go and
look
at the decrease
of
illegal activity at the borders did you
know it's all true according to these
agents
we saw with our eyes
did you know
that what has stopped previously where
kidnappings would take place
and these cartels would kill these
little children and remove their insides
and stuff them with coke and meth
and marijuana and everything else stitch
the kid back up put clothes on him put a
little la dodger ball cap on the kid
stop a car on the highway that they
assume is heading to america put that
kid in the back seat of the car and said
you'll go through customs with this kid
this is your kid name him whatever you
want and when you get through into the
us
uh will re-contact you
you know listen that's sick that's
insane
and yet we were told that that kind of
stuff has now stopped
that had been going on for decades
borders strong borders
there are so many people arguing against
the border issue i'm here to tell you
nobody's being mistreated yeah but i've
heard about families being separated oh
no no no let me correct you this is what
you heard
okay you heard moms and dads being
separated from children that's what you
heard
you didn't hear the reason why
i know the reason why now we saw it
when a mom and a when a mom and a dad
have a kid and they're crossing the
border
and they ask for their documentation if
they have no documentation they take the
man over here they take the woman over
there and they take the little kid over
here and then they begin to ask
what's your name my name's juan what's
your wife's name
susie
at the same time they're asking susie
what her husband's name is
and while they're doing that they're
trying to find out if the kid's young
enough or if old enough
what's your mommy and daddy's name is
that your mommy and daddy because
there's no documentation they're trying
to find out is this smuggling is this
human trafficking
what's happening and when the names
don't match the child is put into
federal child protection care
and the two adults are put in
confinement or i should say they're
sequestered to find out what's really
going on
when was the last time you heard that
all you heard was that families were
being separated at the border
and this is pretty cool
under president trump's leadership
they've issued dna kits
and the parent
is being swabbed
and the mom and the kid
and they're testing like they do on the
battlefield these are battlefield
capability dna test and they find out
this kid is not related to them at all
whatsoever
what's going on here
good things are happening at the border
you need to know that good news is
happening if you know any border control
agents you ought to stop them and ask
them ask them if their job is more
respected
in these last three four years ask them
if they have now the gear that they need
the technology that they need ask them
if mischief and nefarious activity has
dropped
in the last three years ask them
i did
i drove down to san diego and spent a
day doing exactly that
so i want you to spread the news
and i want you to listen i want you to
pastor i want you to speak to your
people about this because this is truth
until you do your flock are gonna keep
hearing the lie
the truth's gonna come from you
you're the authority in their life as
the shepherd of their soul to protect
them
preach a sermon on truth find out more
and let them hear it and by the way
every day of the year it's completely
legal in all 50 states you can have
voter registration tables at your church
and you can encourage your people
to vote for pro-life pro-borders
pro-religious freedoms
pro-military by voting for president
trump if you can't go that far you can
simply do this
look at the two platforms one's
republican one's democrat which one's
pro-life
which one's pro-america
which one is pro-military
and you'll know how to vote
i hope this makes some sense to you
it's time for all of us to take a deep
breath and fill our lungs with air
and for us as pastors hallelujah this is
our moment to speak truth
we can all become prophets in our
community
for righteousness god bless you and
let's pray
regarding this upcoming election
