Franklin Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, sounded off with his support of the president’s speech in a Facebook post on Tuesday night.

Graham, who is also president of the evangelical humanitarian aid agency Samaritan’s Purse, wrote that he agrees that the country needs “better security at our borders.”

“What we have now is not working, and that is a serious matter for our nation,” Graham contended. “Pray that God would give the President and Congressional leaders humility and that they would put aside their pride and work together on a compromise that would achieve the security we need.”
