    Obviously Greg Abbott needs to be brought up on charges as an accessory to wrongful death under the color of law. And since he chose to propagate this act across state lines, the feds need to be brought in on the case.

      Or maybe the United States can enforce its immigration laws. The thing is, they were being sent to a sanctuary city which I’m sure you’d agree is a good thing. It’s unfortunate that this child lost her life during that process.

    Reading this made me wonder if anyone working the holocaust trains had any moments of reflection as they carted people to slaughter. Maybe some of them could feign ignorance, unlike the “Texas Division of Emergency Management” Officials

    Utterly disgusting that people are going along with this farce.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    US health officials are investigating the death of a three-year-old Venezuelan girl travelling with her parents on a bus carrying asylum seekers from Texas to Chicago.

    Before it left the state, passengers had their temperature assessed and were asked if they had any medical conditions, Texas officials said.

    Officials said when it was noticed that the girl’s health appeared to be deteriorating, the bus “pulled over and security personnel on board called 911”.

    Republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas has sent more than 30,000 migrants to cities controlled by the Democrats since last year under his “Operation Lone Star” policies.

    Last month, the US department of Justice sued Mr Abbott for his refusal to remove a floating barrier placed on the Rio Grande river aimed at stopping migrants from entering the US from Mexico.

    The latest tragedy comes weeks after an eight-year-old girl died at a US border patrol site in Texas.
