The situation at the Texas border continues to be deeply alarming. Governor Greg Abbott's inhumane measures, targeting innocent migrants, demand immediate attention. We cannot stand idly by while razor wire traps, water withholding, and dangerous pushbacks endanger vulnerable lives, including children and infants.

This must end.

Join me in demanding that President Biden step in and put an end to these cruel tactics. Let's make our voices heard: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/806/513/820/?TAP=2430&source_id=TexasMigrants

Sign Petition: Demand The Biden Administration End Inhumane Practices Against Migrants In Texas

Dear Friends, Advocates and Activists, A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper documents the remarkably (22736 signatures on petition)

@georgetakei Abbot told Biden "See you in court". Were I Biden I would say "Court? I'll just send the Army Corps of Engineers to remove your trash and take the cost out of $$ we send to your state."
@georgetakei inhumane and ILLEGAL as the constitution grants this authority solely to the federal government. Can’t imagine why Biden has not put a stop to this already.

@georgetakei
I'm trying to figure out why no one has demanded Abbott provide evidence of significantly higher crime committed by people who are here illegally to justify the tactics & expense he is costing the state to keep them out.

I'd be willing to bet there's No significant increase in crime committed by people who crossed the border on foot vs "drug cartels" who pass through LEGAL ports of call. (Certainly not enough to justify the expense/cruelty.)

@georgetakei I wish I thought the petition site mattered. Do people who have the power to change things still look at it?
@geographile @georgetakei Unlikely, but I keep signing & sharing anyway to try'n raise some awareness of the mess we're in.
@georgetakei they don’t see these people as humans.
@TransitBiker @georgetakei This is unfortunately how the worst horror ever are justified, by dehumanization.
@georgetakei I signed just now. #Abbott and his ilk should be sued by the #DOJ and #Texas corporations and venues should be boycotted.
@georgetakei
A few bullets would pop that party..

@georgetakei what if the Native Americans had done the same thing back in 1620?

How would #USA look like today...

@aho @georgetakei or if the people of Hawai’i had not been so welcoming to the invading ‘Christian’ missionaries and exploiting traders.
@georgetakei beyond our Texas outrageous, grandstanding inhumane govenor 1) how much wa$ted Texas taxpayer $$$,$$$ 2) who r the companies received contract to purchase & install buoys & razor wire? 3) he has pulled dps from rural counties that now have shortages of law enforcement. 😠
@georgetakei If this is what it means to secure the border, we'd be better off without it
@georgetakei He has filed suit. At least that’s what’s being reported now.

@georgetakei there are quite a few TexAssAns who view this situation as an intentional affront to human rights by gov AbBIGOTt.

He is taunting Pres Biden to challenge “states rights” and to have a military standoff.

@georgetakei they just need to figure out a way to send in the military to remove them and destroy them.
@georgetakei if only States could sanction other states
@georgetakei Biden's already on it. DOJ has formally requested that Texas remove the barriers, which lays the groundwork for them to seek an injunction.
@georgetakei Good grief! I thought the Conservatives in the UK were bad enough with their appalling attitude towards refugees and their welfare; but this looks like a crime that fits somewhere between manslaughter and murder.

@georgetakei Why would we care about kids dying?

-Pro Life Republicans.

@georgetakei media is both-siding this serious INHUMAN tactic to make it acceptable...why? Who's paying them to ignore it as a crime against humanity & a crime against OUR environment that includes ANIMALS as well as people???

@georgetakei

Can he, now that he lost Congress?
