Mexico helping the flood victims in Texas



The irony here is just beyond words. Mango Mussolini paints Mexicans as the enemy and they're the ones helping after TSF decimated the National Weather Service, NOAA, and FEMA. Kudos to Mexico!!!

BTW, why hasn't TSF deployed the Marines to Texas like he did to Los Angeles???

Two young Mexican women have hailed as heroes after risking their lives to protect and rescue young campers as flash floods on the 4th of July led to campsites along the Guadalupe River being deluged and fears for the worse.

Silvana Garza Valdez and Maria Paula Zárate, both 19, were working at a neighboring camp site when survivors from Camp Mystic were ushered to their location.

Chump did not call it an invasion and send air strikes.

Texas is a red state; California, wherein lies the city of Los Angeles, is blue.
