Texas is embarrassed by cruel Governor Abbott and inhumane treatment of desperate migrants

People- human beings- are being treated inhumanely!

The Washington Post reported Sunday that volunteers who greeted the migrants received word that (cruel!) Gov. Greg Abbott had sent about 110 to 130 men, women and children on three buses that arrived at the Naval Observatory on Saturday night. Videos shared on social media show many of them clutching blankets over their shoulders in the 18-degree weather after the two-day trip.

Migrants cross the Rio Grande into the US from Ciudad Juarez on December 18, 2022.

I don’t care how you feel about immigration, but how people — and I did say people — are being treated by sending busloads of people to be dropped off in below freezing temperatures is inhumane. Anyone doing this should be punished. From the driver to as high up as the governor.

“Multiple busloads of migrants were dropped off at Vice-President Harris’s residence in Washington, D.C., on Saturday — Christmas Eve — leaving migrants on the streets in below-freezing temperatures, according to multiple reports.”
