Abbott ‘has the blood of a child on his hands,’ a congresswoman said. ‘No good person would do this,’ said Mexico President López Obrador.
For a state that believes in good Christian values they sure suck at being Christian…
Abbott is such a colossal piece of shit. The oak should’ve won.
What are these buoys and how are they used to deter migrants?
My understanding is that they are death traps designed to pull you under into a net and then you drown. There are warning signs on the US side but not the Mexican one.
Not sure how they work as a deterrent, maybe the goal is to kill enough people so news goes back to the migrants’ countries and scares the others off the trip? Otherwise if you already made it all the way to the border I don’t think you’d turn back because of them. Then again maybe the point is simply to kill migrants.
Isn’t laying death traps… you know, illegal?
Not if you’re a Republican with pussy Democrats as your opponent
And if this were literally the only potentially lethal hazard on these poor people’s trek, it might actually work as a deterrent. But when people are fleeing for their life, through lethal hazards literally every day of the journey, only to face lethal risks after actually settling in America? What’s one more risk, when the penalty is always the same…
There’s also apparently barbed wire laid under some stretches.
How did a child from Honduras get to the Texas border? Was he, in fact, part of an illegal border crossing group?
Why don’t we ask him?
We don’t have to. It’s pretty obvious a child a few countries away from home dying at the border between countries was trying to cross illegally. They didn’t just get lost on the way home from school.
Probably the same way karl shittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegally carried weapon.
The borders between states is nowhere near the same as the border is between sovereign nations. We do have the right to travel. It’s not just a meme from sovereign citizens. And as far as I’m aware, he was not charged with a crime for having a firearm. He was legally allowed to carry it.
Not being charged with a crime doesn’t necessarily make the action legal. Not unless a precedent is set, and in this case none was.
Sad. The parents would have known how risky this is, very irresponsible to try get through like that. They may have been fleeing unrest in Honduras, but there are multiple countries before the US they could have tried to seek refuge in. Choosing the US makes them economic migrants at that point.
And if they are economic migrants… It’s ok to murder their child?
Those bastards. Wanting better lives. How dare they have what we have?!
