The American Red Cross is under fire for reportedly providing migrants with maps and guides to help them make the dangerous journey through Mexico to the U.S. border.
Packets stamped with the American Red Cross logo revealed by the Daily Caller News Foundation include the locations of hotels and clinics, routes to American border cities and tips on "self care" and the use of contraceptives.
Lamb argued the message the American Red Cross should send instead is: "Do not cross."
The journey, the desert, the snakes and the people are all too dangerous, he said.
"We can't keep making it easy for them and telling them how to do it."

Red Cross is always up to no good. Years ago I remember them handing out $400 cash to anyone who claimed to lose their home in floods in FL. You could’ve been on the 16th floor of project housing. Safe and snug and get your $400.
The Red Cross screwed over my father in WWII. He had no love for that crowd. I’ve never donated a penny to those shysters. Never will.
Commie Red Cross.
This is why I almost never give to any charity.
perhaps they should NOT be allowed to “work” their
trafficking, treason, money laundering, and making “candy”
for those in Congress and their staff.
The Red Cross is actively encouraging illegal behavior.
No more donations to them. Bummer.
It seems the Red Cross lost its way some twenty or thirty years ago. The leftist took over. Everything became political and at that time politically correct. I won’t have anything to do with that. I’m not going to subject myself to personal abuse to help others . It’s really a shame. Fewer people doing real work for free at the Red Cross means people need to rely on government.
Everything leftists touch turns to 💩.
I agree with your post.
Except......
Every thing the leftists touch turns to control.
I never give to any charity for two reasons:
1. Left wing activists have taken over most charities. Regardless of what the charity is supposed to do, they use it to fund their causes. My wife used to give to an environmental/conservation charity until she found out that they were pro immigration. How that is supposed to help the environment is anyone’s guess.
2. Even right wing or conservative chararties have issues. Look at the Wounded Warrior Project a few years back. They were awash in cash and a lot of it went to padding their own lifestyle vs. the actual wounded vets. I think they cleaned up somewhat, but who knows. I do know that, for many charities, you are paying to keep folks in middle/upper class jobs with less than 10% of the gross going to those in actual need.
So, I just have time to sort through the noise for this anymore. I just don’t give. Plus, the Government funds a lot of these organizations with my tax dollars anyway.
It’s time to end tax breaks for all ‘nonprofits’... Way past time...
Yep, this is why I refuse to give to anything national now for charity.
United Way, red Cross, you name it they all channel funds to destroy society.
Charity giving is only safe now when provided locally and as close to the source as possible. Such as a local church , food bank, specific cause you have personally vetted.
Boo on the Red Cross. To be remembered.
They should be providing g them with maps back to their country of origin!
They were in our area looking for folks who lost their homes due to flooding after one of the “Super Storms” (can’t remember which name now, it was the one that hit the upper east coast). A woman stopped into a resteraunt I was in and was asking around about whether anyone knew of folks who had suffered loss during g the storm.
I thought “hey that’s pretty neat” not realizing how many were taking advantage Tage of it when their houses were far from ruined.
I think even the salvation army has now gone woke.
As Trump said, “everything woke goes to @&#%”
Red cross has it’s priority!!
When my entire community was burned out Sept. 2020, I never got one cent from Red Cross. There were no fancy hotels either! Old, US citizens no longer matter!
Seems like I remember the Red Cross renovating their offices in NYC with 9/11 donations.
Th also for that info. I a,ways was kinda suspect of the project, as I am of most ‘help programs”- sad that they did that, as folks were genuinely concerned about wounded warriors and really wanted to help them.
Wish there was a way folks could write checks out to the individuals who need the help instead of to some organization, and some way of tracking how much each individual gets so that not all money goes to just a few individuals while others go without.
