Day 1: Justice for Migrants at the border

Our action begins. It has been decided that as u.s.ofa. citizens, we should go to the Mexican side of the border to protest the actions of not just the Texas governor and military, but of our u.s.ofa. government who is not putting a stop to Texas doing this at our country's border.

In case there's confusion, as is the least of what we are grappling with, it is the designated duty and responsibility of the u.s.ofa. government to police, patrol, secure the borders of our country, and NOT the duty of the state.

Although the u.s.ofa. has ordered Texas to remove buoys, state militia, concertina razors from the border, Texas has refused to comply. When pondering why the feds aren't upholding the law, some have theorized they fear Texas will seceed from the union. And so???

If Texas did seceed, we would just have a bigger border!

Anyway, this is our banner display across the river from the military. Although we are upstream from the first bridge across the river, I doubt anyone but the military can see us.

These last two pics are of the Mexican military at the base of the bridge at Piedras Negras, watching who is crossing into the u.s.ofa. Look closely at their weapons - supplied by the u.s.ofa. - as are their uniforms, training, etc. We LOVE to train young men how to kill their own people.

When your governor is Abbigott, and the people fail to rise

Over 40 acres of public park land confiscated by abbott (gov of Texas) who has filled it with Texas National guard, Texas state guard, military & state troopers - all more than obscenely armed to prevent the citizens of Eagle Pass from using the park and the river recreationally, as they've been doing forever. And to cruelly and illegally make sure no one can seek asylum on this border.

Oh the hidden concertina razor
