Abbott has the blood of the innocent on his hands. What a depraved, filthy piece of garbage he is.

My husband worked with a man who almost died of thirst as a six year old fleeing Vietnam in a flimsy boat. He never blamed his parents, nor did anyone else.

HIV Abbott is a dev for sure but there is shared blame here: what parent is going to risk the life of their child especially with sickle cell and heart conditions? Does anyone have that answer.

President Biden has the best policy ever on the border problem and has done all possible to discourage people from flooding to the border including having the secretary of homeland security announce officially that The Border Is Closed and couldn’t have been more clear but as long as theirs money in it they for human smugglers they will continue, but aren’t taking any of the steps designed by the Biden Administration to enter the country legally. Abbott, and other republicans are liars, blaming the border crises on Biden and why didn’t these parents, already across the border report their children’s pre-existing conditions. Nothing, not even getting away from the Texas border is worth the life of my child, any child.

There is blame for both the governor and also any parent risking a child’s life.

The parent does this because the situation they are in is worse. There are people who do not have good chances. When refugees fled Vietnam in the 70’s in flimsy boats only to die at sea of thirst or be captured by pirates who imprisoned them, sexually abused them and often left them to die, people organized rescues and didn’t blame them for their and their family’s fate. But perhaps this is all politics. We enjoy rescuing the refugees created by our enemies and judge those abused by our friends.

I know some of those Vietnam refugees. I hate when I read about a child dying and I think why? Why wasn’t something said. If you’re given asylum and you have a sick child they should give that child medical attention and not put them on a bus. They need a place near these border stations only for families with sick children and if a child had a life threatening illness should be in a hospital. Biden’s trying to stop Abbott and DeSantis from their cruel treatment and then again when there are tens of thousands of refugees in one place nothings going to go right. It’s a hard situation
