President Trump and the United States have been working to protect our country in a couple different areas. President Trump has tightened the already tough sanctions on Iran after being attacked. As a result of the ban, Iranian leaders have lost access to tens of billions of dollars in financial institutions like banks located in the United States. News reporters have assumed that increasing these sanctions have been an attempt to negotiate with Iran, but according to Vice President Pence, no such contacts from Iran have happened yet. After a while of threatening mass deportations, President Trump has backed down from his immediate action to give Congress two weeks to change immigration laws. The President’s motivations are to fix the border crisis and have ICE go after families that have skipped mandatory court dates and illegal immigrants who have not left the country after being ordered to do so. After listening to this podcast, I support decisions of the Trump administration to act. With Iran threatening us with military attacks, I believe that we should be tougher on Iran to show them that we are serious in protecting our country. I think that the United States should wait and see what happens in the situation. If Iran and the United States make peace, then the new sanctions should be removed or at least loosened. At this point, we should also be ready to go to war at a moment’s notice. I also agree with the President Trump pressuring Congress to pass laws that tighten and more closely regulate the flow of migrants at the border. While the United States accepts many immigrants into our borders, we need to restrict the numbers of people that just walk right into our country because it isn’t fair to those who work hard to get into our country legally or those who face death because of the criminals that cross being unchecked. God calls us to work and receive the labor of what we earned except for the tithe. Illegal immigrants steal time from legal immigrants by slowing down the process and jobs from citizens and legal immigrants; and murderers and traffickers takes the lives of the legal citizens here. According to God, theft is a crime. With these crises, it is important that we protect ourselves but also trust in God. We must pray for our leaders to make the right decisions regarding these issues. When we trust in God, everything falls into place as we make the right decisions. As we pray to God for wisdom, He will lead us in how to protect our country but still take care of those who need help. Since God has called us to care for the immigrants, we should help those who come into our country legally but not reward those who run into our country and avoid the due process of the law. Let’s protect the United States of America so that we can truly help others now and in the future and prove that we are truly “one nation under God.”

ABOUT JEREMIAHHello, I'm Jeremiah Yonemura. I grew up in a Christian home, but I never really came to know the Lord until I was twelve years old. As I've matured, the Lord has cut out my sinful habits. At this point, I am still learning (as we all should be), and I my experiences are testimonies that I can share with those who care to listen.
