To add to the mix, BYU Idaho released this video about a mom choosing to work and share her talents. Interesting…I watched it and now the video is set to private.

Full post.

It’s crazy to me how much controversy erupted on social media over this post by the church. I see no issue.

This will be great for those of us with ADHD. 😂😂

As people attend their asylum hearings and are denied asylum, do you believe they then need to leave the country? Most have not committed crimes and even under Biden, only 40% of claims were approved. Currently it’s at 26% which with the huge influx of claims makes sense. People had learned to say the words but don’t have the evidence to support their claims and come from safe countries. So, if we surge judges, it means more people must leave even sooner. Actual asylum hearings have never been a rubber stamp. The 5th circuit ruling yesterday (will still head to Supreme Court) also changes things dramatically. No bond and in detention until legal process plays out instead of being released with court date. Many would prefer to just go back in those circumstances.

So there is a dip and the border is now closed. Isn’t this wise since the system was overwhelmed? Even when Biden increased judges from 400 to 700 the backlog increased enormously due to the change in border policies that increased asylum claims.

Well, at least now it is decreasing.

The backlog is due to Biden breaking the asylum process. See backlog chart. Can we agree that these 25000 listed should have been handed over and the 33,000 in California prisons should be handed over upon release? https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/02/05/murderers-sex-offenders-and-drug-traffickers-released-jails-directly-california https://www.dhs.gov/wow I don’t under why you want convicted criminals to stay. Plus over a million have final removal orders.

No, I just think the foreigner with no legal status should be deported for being in the country illegally. It's a separate crime from the initial crime. Are we required to not ever deport anyone once they cross the border?

Legally, the remedy is the same.

Detainers are served when someone has finished their sentence. Yes, I know this because my daughter-in-laws father was deported after serving his 1 year rape sentence in the county jail in Michigan after raping his cognitively impaired niece for 5 years after grooming her when driving her to seminary in the morning. My daughter-in-law was so incredibly happy he was deported so she did not live in fear of him showing up on her doorstep. She was very upset by the light sentence. Her cousin served 'more time' than her dad plus a life filled with emotional repercussions from the abuse. He was white and Canadian so I guess ICE cooperation was okay in Michigan 3 years ago. ICE used to have offices in jails in Minnesota too, so this was a smooth and safe process. Sanctuary cities demand no cooperation so the bad guys are released back into vulnerable communities to do more harm to vulnerable populations. Somehow, this is seen as a good thing by many. I don't see it. In Denver, cops have to chase these released criminals through the streets.

These discussions devolve into some form of ‘if you support borders and actually enforcing current immigration laws you’re just a far right bigot and not Christ like.’ There is a good reason the rape gangs in England were allowed to flourish. Being called a name is much worse than letting little girls be groomed and trafficked. Completely ignored are the legitimate concerns of people who see harms in their communities. The media completely vilified those discussing apartment takeovers by Venezuelan gangs in my community. It didn’t matter the residents were being threatened and harmed. They were sacrificed because the politics demanded they be ignored. They were all evicted. If no one wants ICE in neighborhoods, petition your government to honor ICE detainers so at least there is cooperation when removing illegals who are breaking other laws. (Besides immigration laws and identity theft and legal work requirements and tax laws…) It is irresponsible to brainwash people to think saving some rapist from deportation using whistles and cars to interfer with ice is a good thing. Many who are not criminals have final removal orders from a judge…they still scream about no due process. It seems a large percentage here believe it just to ignore the laws they don’t like and anyone who disagrees is a meany. Biden completely and purposely broke the border. The budget impacts have been enormous in Denver and Colorado. The human cost catastrophic. It was a cartel enrichment scheme but those rapes/deaths/lost minors/crimes were ignored. Obama’s record on deportations is more problematic but was ignored by those who are upset now.

I think this is a wonderful thing. But, couldn’t other charities say our corporate donors pay overheard so your donation goes 100% to the cause? It’s not really 100%. It’s 100% of a category of donations.

I agree that is what is nice about church donations. The church funds the admin of charity funds through other funds. I don’t think it is necessarily bad or mismanagement that other charities do not have an umbrella entity to pay for their charity wing. Volunteers and free labor can only go so far in a large charity organization. This is why so often the church outsources its charity donation to other established charities that are prepared to fulfill a specific need. United way functions mostly as a referral agency to other community resources. So many charity criticisms are due to misunderstandings about which charities perform which functions.

I don’t think this is true. If it’s a rule it is frequently broken. I don’t think it should be a rule either. I know many in the US illegally who have been baptized.
