Where is the international uproar over US human rights violations? International media and political groups will take any unverified bullshit about China as fact, then turn around and ignore clear violations of human rights by the US. We need international sanctions against the US until they follow international rules and standards when it comes to human rights.

cw: death

spoiler

Mexican authorities said last week that two bodies had been recovered from the river in recent days, including one that was caught in the floating barrier. One body was found stuck in the lines of orange buoys, Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said in a statement on August 2

The fact that this is not one of the top stories in the country now with politicians at all levels demanding justice shows that the US is truly an evil country.

if a tree falls in the forest and it doesn't hit Greg Abbott, does it make any sound?

Reminder, border controls and immigration is covered by the executive branch of the federal government. Greg Abbott may have given the order, but ultimately this is the policy of the Biden administration.

So add immigration to the things Biden is definitely worse on than Trump. I knew he would suck but god damn it’s been impressive almost

Hurr we put down a dangerous barrier but it's Bidens fault if anyone gets hurt!

We write to inform you … that the United States intends to file legal action in relation to the State of Texas’s unlawful construction of a floating barrier in the Rio Grande River,” the Justice Department said in a letter sent to Abbott’s office on Thursday.

Sorry sweaty 'free trade' means capital can move freely across borders. Not labour. Well unless they are importing slaves I suppose

What really sucks is that we are only a camera away from the very edgy jokes of the "Immigration Grand-Prix" being real.
