In a story reported by CNN, Texas governor, Greg Abbot, has directed state troopers to push would be immigrants back into the Rio Grande river and admonish them to go back to Mexico. The order supposedly also requires the troopers to withhold drinking water from immigrants despite temperatures well over 100 degrees in the shade.
Abbot is a perfect reflection of the modern day Republican party. I'm quite sure if he had been the Roman governor of Judea he would have had Jesus Christ arrested for vagrancy. Only a tiny minority of the bible thumping members of the GOP ever attend any church services and even those who do rarely practice what the new testament tells us on how to treat the poor, the sick and those fleeing from oppression.
