Thursday morning Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandy Winfield was murdered. An illegal alien executed him. His wife has lost a loving husband, and his two children, including 3-year-old Landon, will never have the joy of their Dad’s encouragement and instruction.
As a Father my concern for my own son and son-in-law, both law enforcement officers, has been piqued. As a Pastor and law enforcement chaplain, I recognize the great need for spiritual support amongst those in the law enforcement community. As a citizen I am angry that our government seems to turn a blind eye to the thousands of lawbreakers streaming across our southern border. As a consumer I am determined never to support those businesses, which employ illegal workers.
The Bible asks the question “How can two walk together except they be agreed?” As Christians we are living pictures of Christ. What the unbelievers see in us is what they see of Christ. You cannot separate the effects of our faith from our faith. Neither can you separate the actions of illegal aliens from that of the politicians and officials, which condone their illegal behavior.
Tonight two little children will go to bed missing their Dad, and a wife will try to cope with the loss of her husband. They need our prayers. I trust those whose policies encourage illegal immigration sleep well. They also need our prayers.

It is sad when things like this happen. It's difficult to boycott everything that has illegal hands in it. I was listening to NPR on the way home this morning and heard about a farmer who can't harvest green chilies because he can't find enough legal workers. It boils down to apathy from a government who won't do something until they absolutely have to. Then they will think about it. Then they will poll on it. Then they hope it goes away.
