    Now, Baez and Avila-Guel, a Mexican couple who are legal U.S. permanent residents, could lose everything after being accused of concealing and harboring immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally. It’s a rare case in which business owners face criminal charges rather than just a fine.

    Gee, I wonder what’s different about this case, hmmm???

    The reaction in the town of 8,500 residents may show the limits of support for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in a majority Hispanic region dotted with fields of cotton, sugarcane and red grapefruit where Republicans made gains in last year’s elections. Cameron County voted for a GOP president for the first time since 2004. For neighboring Starr County, it was the first time since 1896.

    This is what you voted for.

      I’m not American, but it pisses me off when others try to excuse Americans for this.
      It’s EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN’S FAULT!!

      Stop trying to excuse them.

      How did anyone get past “RAPIST”?

        Some Americans worked extremely hard and effectively to stop it. Calling it their fault is dumb.

        But there are lots of people whose fault it is, it’s true. Many sins combined.

        How is every American’s fault? Especially those of use who have and still organize and volunteer with organizations fighting against MAGA fascism?

          Because it’s to little to late. The left has been oh it we’ll never happen. They had chances to make row vs wade law but thought the status quo was good enough. The left has been lazy well the right has continued to fight for what they want.

    It takes a slight reduction in the available food options to make a Texan think things through?
