OldAndCrankyGreg Abbot obviously does not believe that the immigrants, whose lives he screws with for fun, are human. No one who can detach themselves from the fact of the humanity of those migrants deserves to be in any position of power, at the very least. Using vulnerable humans as political stunts is the act of a psychopath.
robert_said_what@OldAndCranky @BenCisco they should file charges of human trafficking against Abbott and the rest that want to use people as props
dogcanyon 🦂@OldAndCranky The US has a caste system similar to that of the Hindus, with undocumented Latin American immigrants at the very bottom of the social order. They are essential to the US economy but are treated as Dalit, or untouchables.
🌊Ann Morris🐕🍀🌎🌊🌊@OldAndCranky Not only is he a subhuman POS, the people of Texas re-elected him! What does that say about them?
@AnnMorris nothing good...
The Pelagic StreetlightsI don't like this attitude. There are people in Texas (like me) who tried to vote out Abbott. Our state is gerrymandered to hell and has been carefully propagandized. My fellow Lefties like to abandon Texas as a lost cause and I'm no different with my dreams of escaping.
But turning Texas blue isnt impossible and the entire population isn't wrapped up in fascism.
I don't like seeing people so eager to throw out innocent people just because TX did shit u dont like.
@AnnMorris @OldAndCranky We are abandoned by our state power infrastructure, our governance, and our fellows beyond Texas. We aren't all in alignment with Abbot, our state has been hijacked.
This attitude condemns us as acceptable losses, complicit in the hijacking of our own state infrastructure.
@ThePelagicStreetlights @AnnMorris That's true. We shouldn't do that. I didn't like feeling like I was responsible for Chris Christie back when he was gov of Jersey either.
@ThePelagicStreetlights @AnnMorris you are completely right and I apologize.
@OldAndCranky @ThePelagicStreetlights I don’t blame you or the people who didn’t vote for him. Only the mindless shills who vote party over their own best interests. It happens all over the South, unfortunately.
@ThePelagicStreetlights @OldAndCranky I wasn’t referring to the people who didn’t vote for him. Only the selfish people who did. (Several are related to me). The exact same thing can be said about my state, Arkansas. The inability of these people to not see themselves being scammed is astounding.
Cheryl@OldAndCranky anyone who can trek hundreds of miles through all kinds of terrain, hostage situations, deserves a chance in this country. Let’s give them that chance. President Biden we need more immigration lawyers to get these people on a path to citizenship
ask330 🪨🦣@reardon15 @OldAndCranky We also need a proper immigration infrastructure to be able to do this.
Morgana@reardon15 @OldAndCranky Absolutely….!
IdahoLark@reardon15 @OldAndCranky Some of the best and most compassionate eldercare workers I have met are immigrants. There is a huge shortage of workers in that profession and is it so idiotic we don’t allow immigrants to come and train for that and other work.
@IdahoLark @reardon15 TRUE! I have experienced this myself!
