Republican Cruelty Towards Migrants Comes in All Seasons

For months now, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending migrants who come into the United States to jurisdictions controlled by Democrats including Washington, D.C. in front of Vice-President Kamala Harris's official residence.

This happened again on Christmas Eve. Aside from dumping people like they were trash on the eve of Christ's birth, they also dumped them in sub-zero temperatures many wearing only t-shirts. So much for peace and goodwill to all men. 

Sadly, I'm not surprised Abbott would see fit to do this to people. After all, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had no trouble concocting fake documents from Massachusetts to lure migrants in Boston only to dump them in Martha's Vineyard back in September. Republican politicians and the constituents derive pleasure in the suffering of others.

Thankfully there are residents and community organizations prepared to step into the breach and help those in need. 

Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that Republicans look upon migrants as subhuman and unworthy of any dignity. Republican cruelty to migrants (among many others) comes in all seasons.
