That’s an odd way to legally enter a country. Child abuse, endangerment, and involuntary manslaughter charges for the 'parents'? Anything? I can almost hear the sound of evangelicals rejoicing in their drowning. Just like jesus intended. 😒

Proposed Texas bill would ban food stamp recipients from buying junk food, soda, energy drinksA proposed Texas bill would ban residents from purchasing junk food using food stamps. House Bill 4364, filed by Texas state Rep. Briscoe Cain in March, would make food items such as candy and energy drinks ineligible to buy with food stamps. I thought people using food stamps, were only to be used to buy food that had to be prepared. In Montana, beef is very expensive, now I find out the people on food stamps are buying that beef. I can not afford to buy beef, make 10% more than those on poverty. : Transforming SNAP to a program that requires more gov’t regulation and bureaucracy– with no clear public health benefit – is not in the best interest of SNAP participants, taxpayers or businesses.

Baby dead, three migrants missing after raft overturns in Rio Grande at Texas borderA 10-month-old was found dead and 3 people are missing after a raft carrying 9 people flipped on the Rio Grande, authorities say And TheDemocrats won’t help stop the flow coming. They are bringing young children along as fast passes. It’s despicable. These selfish, negligent, unfit “guardians” must be held accountable. We must discourage this horrific behavior. It’s costing lives of innocent children along with billions of dollars in services. 😡 How do Americans live with themselves. Could you imagine having responsibilities and capacity to help people of North America but instead deciding the votes and the money say you should fund their gangs and watch them die, attempting to wash your hands won’t take the blood away.
