Abbott's vile billboard campaign targeting immigrants (Warning - disturbing)

Texas is putting up dozens of billboards in Mexico and Central American countries warning migrants of the dangers of trying to come to the U.S., Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday.

The billboards will offer bleak messages in multiple languages. “Many girls who try to migrate to Texas are kidnapped,” one will say. “Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” will read another. A third will ask, “How much did you pay to have your daughter raped?”

that’s probably good advice. I fear new arrivals will be treated harshly.

I am hopeful those who have been here a few years — and contributed to society— will survive the immigrant hate. But . . . . . .
