House Republicans invoke Bible defending Greg Abbott’s 'barbaric' razor wire and circular saw buoys https://www.alternet.org/house-republicans-invoke-greg-abbott/

More examples of the sociopathic, power hungry, inhumane and immoral heart of too much of the GOP.

DeSantis, Abbott and far too many of the rest of the GOP, have descended into hateful, inhumane barbarism in their attempts to leverage fear into power, fascism and autocracy. As they ruthlessly jockey to be the lead dog of their ever more fascist party, they are willing to "go there" and commit atrocities that betray and undermine our constitution, democracy and humanity.

"Human rights advocates called for federal intervention Monday after it was reported that state troopers assigned to Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border militarization initiative have been ordered to push migrant children back into the Rio Grande and to deny water to asylum-seekers amid a life-threatening heatwave.

According to the email, a pregnant woman having a miscarriage was found late last month caught in the wire, doubled over in pain. A four-year-old girl passed out from heat exhaustion after she tried to go through it and was pushed back by Texas National Guard soldiers. A teenager broke his leg trying to navigate the water around the wire and had to be carried by his father.

The email, which the trooper sent to a superior, suggests that Texas has set “traps” of razor wire-wrapped barrels in parts of the river with high water and low visibility. And it says the wire has increased the risk of drownings by forcing migrants into deeper stretches of the river.

The trooper called for a series of rigorous policy changes to improve safety for migrants, including removing the barrels and revoking the directive on withholding water.

“Due to the extreme heat, the order to not give people water needs to be immediately reversed as well,” the trooper wrote, later adding: “I believe we have stepped over a line into the inhumane.”

“This is absolutely monstrous, inhumane policy,” U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) tweeted Monday in response to the article. “Gov. Abbott’s troops have been told to push migrant children back into the Rio Grande to drown.”
