Niece of MLK: African American
Leaders Unite to Support Trump’s Wall, by Daphine Moon, 1/23/19.
While some in the nation find a border wall barbaric and
don’t understand the necessity of properly vetting people who want passage into
our nation African American leaders unite to support the President’s efforts to
secure U.S. borders.
Alveda King, the niece of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is the founder of King for America wrote an
amazing piece outlining that support. Ms. King has spoken in defense of
President Trump in the past stating that it’s “outrageous calling Trump racist“.
Ms. King writes: “As an
African American voice for justice, a defender of the sanctity of life, and
perhaps most importantly, a Christian evangelist, I stand with President Trump
as he labors to build a wall. From my perspective, compassion trumps terror.
Our prayers are needed more than ever. We must rally around the wall to avert
crisis.
Having survived, and in
many cases overcome tyranny, oppression and racism in America, we as African
Americans are close to the heartbeat of justice and compassion. We are not color blind. Our hearts are touched
by the plight of all children and their families – not just at the border, but
here at home as well.
Children in the womb, in cribs, in school, in
jail, with parents behind bars, on the streets, at our borders – many are in
danger. We must have responsible compassion for them all.
My goddaughter, Angela
Stanton King, cofounder of the American
King Foundation writes: “The process of draining the swamp, is a process
of seeking genuine true justice, jubilee, pardon, and forgiveness. We’re going
to continue to discover that there are some very thin lines between right,
wrong, justice, and injustice. Meanwhile, we live in a world where security is
necessary. The Wall plan is viable.”
Rev. Bill and Dr. Deborah
Owens, Founders of CAAP write: “Christians
have a responsibility to help those in need, including the undocumented
immigrants at our southern border. At the same time, we must also respect the
need to secure our borders and ensure the safety of all U.S. citizens.
The African-American
community has been gravely injured by unfettered illegal immigration, which has
resulted in loss of jobs, loss of housing, and other economic hardship.”
Collectively, we stand
with President Trump in the battle for the soul of America. I’m praying that
POTUS builds the wall in
the manner that Ezra and Nehemiah did in days of old.
As Commander and Chief of
America, POTUS is fighting for the soul of our nation. ”
She goes on to add how
Americans strive to welcome immigrants who enter The United States lawfully and
praised ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for their hard work in
preventing illegal immigrants and known criminals from crossing. “Today, I join
my colleagues in the faith in a cry for prayer and compassion as we face this
present danger.
Speaking from a platform
in support of diversity and compassion, Bruce LeVell, Executive Director of NDC Trump writes: “As a
follower of Christ, my convictions are to set up processes to aid those
subjected to evil. Meanwhile, we must protect our citizens. Mr. President,
build that wall!”
