Unreal, isn’t it?
Gov Abbott getting blasted, for speaking the truth.
I see similar comments on Nextdoor, Instagram, etc. from folks within a relatively short driving distance of our community.
What used to be solid RED areas, in TX, are being infiltrated with blue state, brain dead lib transplants, illegals, etc., and, shame any mention of FACTUAL info, on forums.
They don’t get that the crimes of third world countries are HERE, due to open borders and lib thinking. Not a good combination, at all.
Here is what we get. This is right here in my community.
“During the course of the investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration recovered large quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cash. Mendoza-Ruelas stated that the drug trafficking organization would give him 50,000 to 60,000 fentanyl laced pills and large quantities of methamphetamine. Mendoza-Ruelas was negotiating a 30-pound methamphetamine delivery when he was arrested.”
Three women believed to be victims of sex trafficking were rescued from a Richland business.
State Sen. Charles Schwertner, who represents San Jacinto County, also argued the shooting is “a tragedy that points to the vital need for enhanced border security and strong enforcement of our immigration laws.”
Civil rights groups argued rhetoric linking immigrants with crime is dangerous.
“We see the impacts of this rhetoric with militias, in the militarization of hate groups, and acts of violence like the targeting of Latino people in Walmart when there was a mass shooting [in El Paso] a few years ago,” David Donatti with the American Civil Liberties Union said. “The governor is very deep in his own echo chamber, if you can look at a slain group of family members, who are the victims of tragic gun violence, and his reaction is to label their immigration status. I think that it reflects the way that he perceives human life in this way.”
The San Jacinto County Sheriff said only that the victims’ immigration status is irrelevant to his task of bringing them justice.
“My heart is with this eight-year-old little boy,” Sheriff Greg Capers said. “I don’t care if he was here legally. I don’t care if he was here illegally. He was in my county. Five people died in my county. And that is where my heart is — in my county, protecting my people to the best of our ability.”

“What would Jesus say to the mass shooting victims?” LULAC National President Domingo Garcia asked. “Governor Abbott’s words are unchristian. It is indefensible to any right-hearted Texan to use divisive language to smear innocent victims, including an 8-year-old boy.”
Among those criticizing Abbott was outspoken actor and activist George Takei.
“This is despicable. I would have thought bringing up the immigration status of the innocent victims of this senseless violence would be beneath even you. But I was wrong,” Takei tweeted.
(Where’s the outrage over the shooting of Christians by a tranny?)
Texas Gov. Abbott issues retraction after calling mass shooting victims ‘illegal immigrants’
In a statement on Monday, Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said that “we’ve since learned that at least one of the victims may have been in the United States legally.”
“We regret if the information was incorrect and detracted from the important goal of finding and arresting the criminal,” Eze said, adding: “Any loss of life is a tragedy, and our hearts go out to the families who have lost a loved one.”
However, Abbott’s tweet referring to the victims as “illegal immigrants” was not deleted.
Ha, says at least one may have been legal.
I read that the victims were being flown back to Honduras to be buried, I suppose at our expense.
The regime says the people are escaping violence so they come here. 🤔
