KERRVILLE, Texas (Gray News/AP) – Volunteer firefighters from Acuña, Mexico, are helping rescue and recover teams in Texas after flash floods killed more than 80 people over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and left others still missing.
According to a protective services government agency in Mexico, the Civil Protection Water Rescue Team and Cure Firefighters teamed up with the nonprofit organization Foundation 911 to assist in search efforts in Kerrville, Texas.
If I were a Mexican firefighter I would refuse to cross the border into the US
I think a lot of them might actually have family in the US. By coming to the US and helping you’re probably gonna save a lot of Mexican/immigrant lives too or lives of people who don’t hate you in general, as much as I wanna agree with you
Isn’t there a concern though that by coming they draw attention to those family members? I for one wouldn’t be shocked to find out that ice is monitoring them and who they make contact with.
Don’t fucking help us! Your lives are in danger here! Especially in the shit hole that is Texas.
Has ICE found out?
That is what I was thinking. The workers would be sent to Alligator Alcatraz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp pronto quick and govt will says oops my bad nothing we can do about it now.
When people you have maligned and persecuted show you compassion and give you aid, that should be humiliating and humbling.
Unfortunately it probably won’t have that effect on the people who need it.
In the current political climate, I can’t understand how they got visas to enter the country and then, with appropriate visas, how/why ICE allowed them to cross the border. Of course I understand how it’s possible, it just seems weirdly wrong.
