Reason for Being

Remember how Republican governors have been bussing and flying migrants to blue states?

In this last year alone, Texas’s asshole Governor Greg Abattoir has bussed more than 30,000 migrants to Chicago, Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles. On Thursday a three year old child became ill during one of Abbott’s whip-up-the-hate stunts and died. Does the theoretical public servant and self-proclaimed pro life christian, this fetid puddle of loose, diseased stools care? Fuck no.

Then there’s the governor’s giant buoy and razor wire “border wall.”

By the time Omar Tortua and his family waded into the warm river water at Piedras Negras, they had already survived a treacherous journey through the jungle of the DariƩn Gap, across six countries and past cartel kidnappers.

But it was only at the end that Tortua saw the danger claw into his own child when a coil of concertina wire – placed at the American shoreline by Texas officials – ensnared the leg of his 5-year-old son.

 He scooped up the bleeding child, with officers watching from the bank above. (source)

As of last week, two dead bodies have been found at Abbott’s horror show wall of death.
the Texas side of the river is a wall of steel cargo containers and miles of coiled razor wire. There is also razor wire under the water surface, a hazard for anyone who might stumble upon it. We soon come across people stranded in the water, migrants looking for an opening in the razor wire so they can enter Texas. They say they're from Venezuela. It's several families with small children struggling to wade through the murky water. They tell me they've been traveling for over a month and are exhausted. The 104-degree heat of the day saps their energy. (source)
Governor Abattoir claims to be pro life. Between his concertina lined waters, migrant bussing and the despicable “heartbeat bill,” he’s proved to be very much pro death UNLESS you’re white and male.

Frankly, I’m just surprised he’s not running for the Republican presidential nomination like his fellow white supremacist dictator wannabe, Ron DeathSantis.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Yeah, only if you're white, male and stupid enough to back the Republi/Facist party of frauds and liars.

Even a child could see the division between what the Galileans [i.e., Christians] say they believe and what, in fact, they do believe, as demonstrated by their actions. A religion of brotherhood and mildness which daily murders those who disagree with its doctrines can only be thought hypocrite, or worse.
