Texas "physically barred" Border Patrol agents from trying to rescue migrants who drowned, federal officials say
Federal officials and a congressman said National Guard soldiers deployed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not allow Border Patrol agents to attempt to rescue the migrants.
A woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande on Friday while trying to enter the U.S. near a section of the southern border where Texas National Guard soldiers have prevented federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants.
You're viewing a single thread.
Let's remember this when Texas' grid needs federal help again.
Fuck red states. If people want to deny other people assistance in times of need, I say we do the same to them.
I get what you mean here, but I MUST point out that many people who live in red states don't believe in the same ideology, or can't get out.
If there were a way to selectively punish the policy makers, and those that support it, I'm game. But this sounds like the same indiscriminate punishment rhetoric that Israel is using. (Please don't take offense, I know it's not how you meant it, just pointing it out)
I mean, we know who the republicans are.
Personally, I think no one who currently holds office as a republican should be allowed to hold any government office or work at any private entity that works with the government.
They've had years to leave the party as it has slid down into the nightmare it is today. The party is a hate group. Staying a member is damning.
Selectively punish policy makers? Um voting. That seems to not be a popular idea though.
It's not terribly effective due to the gerrymandering of the voting districts, everyone that is in office is still so because they gerrymander the district to people who vote along party lines, whether or not they know what they're doing.
