Is illegal immigration a satanic plot?

A resolution that’s bound to get attention this weekend.

Christianity Today April 27, 2007

“In order for Satan to establish his ‘New World Order’ and destroy the freedom of all people as predicted in the Scriptures, he must first destroy the U.S.,” says a proposed resolution to be debated at the Utah County Republican Party Convention this weekend. “There are ways to destroy a nation other than with bombs or bullets. The mostly quiet and unspectacular invasion of illegal immigrants does not focus the attention of the nation the way open warfare does but is all the more insidious for its stealth and innocuousness.”

Don Larsen’s resolution calls for the county party to support “closing the national borders to illegal immigration to prevent the destruction of the U.S. by stealth invasion.” (Sources: Deseret Morning News and Salt Lake Tribune)

My guess: No Utah County Republican Party Convention resolution will have in the past or will ever in the future see the mediacoverage that this resolution will see.

So here’s the question: apart from Larsen’s apocalypticism, if you believe breaking the law is sinful, then do you think that there is demonic involvement in illegal immigration? And if you believe that America’s immigration policy is sinful, do you think that there is demonic involvement in the slow progress in changing it? Follow up questions: Do you believe prayer would change illegal immigration? If so, have you ever prayed about it?
