LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

January 13, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

JAN 14, 2024

Last night a woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande that marks the border between the U.S. and Mexico near Eagle Pass, Texas. 

U.S. Border Patrol agents knew that a group of six migrants were in distress in the river but could not try to save them, as they normally would, because troops from the Texas National Guard and the Texas Military Department prevented the Border Patrol agents from entering the area where they were struggling: Shelby Park, a 47-acre public park that offers access to a frequently traveled part of the river and is a place where Border Patrol agents often encounter migrants crossing the border illegally. 

They could not enter because two days ago, on Thursday, Texas governor Greg Abbott sent armed Texas National Guard soldiers and soldiers from the Texas Military Department to take control of Shelby Park. Rolando Salinas, the mayor of Eagle Pass, posted a video on Facebook showing the troops and saying that a state official had told him that state troops were taking “full control” over Shelby Park “indefinitely.” Salinas made it clear that “[t]his is not something that we wanted. This is not something that we asked for as a city.”

The Texas forces have denied United States Border Patrol officials entry into the park to perform their duties, asserting that Texas officials have power over U.S. officials. 

On December 18, Abbott signed into law S.B. 4, a measure that attempts to take into state hands the power over immigration the Constitution gives to the federal government. Courts have repeatedly reinforced that immigration is the responsibility of federal, not state, government, but now, according to Uriel J. García of the Texas Tribune, “some Texas Republicans have said they hope the new law will push the issue back before a U.S. Supreme Court that is more conservative since three appointees of former President Donald Trump joined it.”

On January 3 the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the new law, saying: “Texas cannot run its own immigration system. Its efforts, through S.B. 4, intrude on the federal government’s exclusive authority to regulate the entry and removal of noncitizens, frustrate the United States’ immigration operations and proceedings, and interfere with U.S. foreign relations.” 

Abbott and MAGA Republicans are teeing up the issue of immigration as a key line of attack on President Joe Biden in 2024, but while they are insisting the issue is so important they will not agree to fund Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s 2022 invasion until it is solved, they are also unwilling to participate in discussions to fund more border officers or immigration courts. Today, once again, Biden reminded reporters that he has asked Congress to pass new border measures since he took office, but rather than pass new laws, Republicans appear to be doubling down on pushing the idea that migrants threaten American society and that an individual state—Texas, in this case—can override federal authority.

Abbott has spent more than $100 million of Texas tax dollars to send migrants to cities led by Democrats. These migrants have applied for asylum and are waiting for a hearing; they are in the U.S. legally. In September 2023, Texas stopped coordinating with nonprofits in those cities that prepared for migrant arrivals. 

Yesterday, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker wrote to Abbott, calling him out for choosing “to sow chaos in an attempt to score political points.” Pritzker noted that Abbott is “sending asylum seekers from Texas to the Upper Midwest in the middle of winter—many without coats, without shoes to protect them from the snow—to a city whose shelters are already overfilled with migrants you sent here.” Chicago’s temperatures are set to drop below zero this weekend, Pritzker wrote, and he “strongly urge[d]” Abbott to stop sending people to Illinois in these conditions. “You are dropping off asylum seekers without alerting us to their arrivals, at improper locations at all hours of the night.”

Pritzker wrote that he supports bipartisan immigration reform but “[w]hile action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state. We are asking you to help prevent additional deaths. We should be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to urge Congress to act. But right now, we are talking about human beings and their survival. I hope we can at least agree on saving lives right now.”

Speaking on the right-wing Dana Loesch Show last week, Abbott said, “The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder.” 

On January 13, 1833, President Andrew Jackson wrote to Vice President–elect Martin van Buren to explain his position on South Carolina’s recent assertion that sovereign states could overrule federal laws. “Was this to be permitted the government would lose the confidence of its citizens and it would induce disunion everywhere. No my friend, the crisis must be now met with firmness, our citizens protected, and the modern doctrine of nullification and secession put down forever…. [N]othing must be permitted to weaken our government at home or abroad,” he wrote.

Discrimination against men is legal and actively encouraged. Now Leftists are concerned that men are weaponising identity politics against them.

Male privilege was always a lie, and more and more being male meant being a second class citizen.

Will Leftists appoint a council who decides who is allowed to be female, black and/or gay? And what if their judge decides nobody deserves to be?

In a video posted on Facebook, Salinas said he received a call from DPS officials on Wednesday to let him know that Gov. Greg Abbott had signed an emergency declaration and that officers would take “full control” of 47-acre Shelby Park indefinitely.

“That is not a decision that we agreed to. This is not something that we wanted. This is not something that we asked for as a city,” Salinas said in the video.

Salinas said he was told that the reason for the operation is to prevent immigrants from illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas.

Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, said in a statement that Texas is using different tactics to deter people from crossing the border illegally and blamed the Biden administration's immigration policies.

"Texas will continue to deploy Texas National Guard soldiers, DPS troopers, and more barriers, utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to President Biden's ongoing border crisis," Eze said.

Eze also cited Abbott's emergency declaration, which he originally signed in May 2021 and renewed in December.

The Border Vigil, a group of Eagle Pass residents who have criticized Abbott’s immigration policies, blasted the state’s move: “The Texas Governor's emergency declaration and takeover of Shelby Park, where the Cross Memorial stands as a tribute to the unnecessary deaths on our border, is a cynical and cruel attempt to divert attention from his own failures and to undermine the efforts of the Mexican authorities and civil society to address the humanitarian crisis at the border.”

Me hizo volver luego a la entrada de la casa; y he aquí aguas que salían de debajo del umbral de la casa hacia el oriente; porque la fachada de la casa estaba al oriente, y las aguas descendían de debajo, hacia el lado derecho de la casa, al sur del altar. Y me sacó por el camino de la puerta del norte, y me hizo dar la vuelta por el camino exterior, fuera de la puerta, al camino de la que mira al oriente; y vi que las aguas salían del lado derecho. Y salió el varón hacia el oriente, llevando un cordel en su mano; y midió mil codos, y me hizo pasar por las aguas hasta los tobillos. Midió otros mil, y me hizo pasar por las aguas hasta las rodillas. Midió luego otros mil, y me hizo pasar por las aguas hasta los lomos. Midió otros mil, y era ya un río que yo no podía pasar, porque las aguas habían crecido de manera que el río no se podía pasar sino a nado. Y me dijo: ¿Has visto, hijo de hombre? Después me llevó, y me hizo volver por la ribera del río. Y volviendo yo, vi que en la ribera del río había muchísimos árboles a uno y otro lado. Y me dijo: Estas aguas salen a la región del oriente, y descenderán al Arabá, y entrarán en el mar; y entradas en el mar, recibirán sanidad las aguas. Y toda alma viviente que nadare por dondequiera que entraren estos dos ríos, vivirá; y habrá muchísimos peces por haber entrado allá estas aguas, y recibirán sanidad; y vivirá todo lo que entrare en este río. Y junto a él estarán los pescadores, y desde En-gadi hasta En-eglaim será su tendedero de redes; y por sus especies serán los peces tan numerosos como los peces del Mar Grande. Sus pantanos y sus lagunas no se sanearán; quedarán para salinas. Y junto al río, en la ribera, a uno y otro lado, crecerá toda clase de árboles frutales; sus hojas nunca caerán, ni faltará su fruto. A su tiempo madurará, porque sus aguas salen del santuario; y su fruto será para comer, y su hoja para medicina.

Ezequiel 47:1‭-‬12 RVR1960

Un río que renueva

Las pruebas, los problemas y los traumas tienen la capacidad de restar fuerza a nuestra fe y hacernos perder la esperanza. Es un proceso sutil, que nos lleva a dudar de Dios y a desconfiar de su capacidad para restaurar lo que consideramos roto.

¿Hay áreas en tu vida en las que dudas que Dios pueda restaurarlas? Tal vez te encuentres en esta situación, incapaz de albergar esperanzas más allá de tu angustia. Si es así, el pasaje de hoy encierra una gran esperanza.

Ezequiel comparte una visión enviada por Dios, que pretende transmitir a este pueblo angustiado y desterrado. Dios hace la promesa de una completa restauración y recompensa a las personas que han perdido la esperanza y se sienten cansadas en el cautiverio.

Dios quiere que los exiliados sepan lo que él aún quiere que sepamos en nuestro propio exilio hoy: Siempre habrá esperanza en Dios.

Ezequiel está en los atrios interiores, donde ve el agua que gotea de los altos umbrales del templo. Es un flujo que crece y gana impulso, desde un pequeño chorro hasta un vasto río tan profundo que no puede ser atravesado (versículos 3 - 5).

Pero lo importante es que prestemos atención al punto donde se acaba el agua. El versículo 8 nos dice en detalle que el agua desemboca en el mar Muerto, situado a casi treinta kilómetros de la ciudad de Jerusalén. Está a unos cuatrocientos metros bajo el nivel del mar, por lo que es el punto más bajo posible de la tierra para que el agua fluya.

Se trata de un entorno en el que ningún ser vivo puede subsistir. Su alto contenido de sal hace imposible que los organismos vivos crezcan o prosperen. Sin embargo, Dios promete devolver la vitalidad a estas aguas muertas.

Esta es una poderosa imagen de lo que Dios promete hacer en nuestra vida. Y así como Ezequiel prometió aguas que traerían sanidad y que fluirían del templo a los lugares muertos, Dios promete una tierra renovada cuando Jesús regrese y restaure todas las cosas para su pueblo.

Nuestra esperanza reside en que el Espíritu de Cristo fluya dentro de nosotros, inundando con su luz y su gracia cada espacio de la tierra, y cada situación rota, oscura y desesperada.

Ninguna circunstancia escapa a la capacidad de Dios para tocar y sanar. Tal vez Dios no actúe en el momento y de la manera que tú quisieras, pero promete traer esperanza y sanidad a los lugares más oscuros, redimiendo todo lo que él toca y transformando cada área que necesita ser renovada.

Last night a woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande that marks the border between the U.S. and Mexico near Eagle Pass, Texas.

U.S. Border Patrol agents knew that a group of six migrants were in distress in the river but could not try to save them, as they normally would, because troops from the Texas National Guard and the Texas Military Department prevented the Border Patrol agents from entering the area where they were struggling: Shelby Park, a 47-acre public park that offers access to a frequently traveled part of the river and is a place where Border Patrol agents often encounter migrants crossing the border illegally.

They could not enter because two days ago, on Thursday, Texas governor Greg Abbott sent armed Texas National Guard soldiers and soldiers from the Texas Military Department to take control of Shelby Park. Rolando Salinas, the mayor of Eagle Pass, posted a video on Facebook showing the troops and saying that a state official had told him that state troops were taking “full control” over Shelby Park “indefinitely.” Salinas made it clear that “[t]his is not something that we wanted. This is not something that we asked for as a city.”

The Texas forces have denied United States Border Patrol officials entry into the park to perform their duties, asserting that Texas officials have power over U.S. officials.

On December 18, Abbott signed into law S.B. 4, a measure that attempts to take into state hands the power over immigration the Constitution gives to the federal government. Courts have repeatedly reinforced that immigration is the responsibility of federal, not state, government, but now, according to Uriel J. García of the Texas Tribune, “some Texas Republicans have said they hope the new law will push the issue back before a U.S. Supreme Court that is more conservative since three appointees of former President Donald Trump joined it.”

On January 3 the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the new law, saying: “Texas cannot run its own immigration system. Its efforts, through S.B. 4, intrude on the federal government’s exclusive authority to regulate the entry and removal of noncitizens, frustrate the United States’ immigration operations and proceedings, and interfere with U.S. foreign relations.”

Abbott and MAGA Republicans are teeing up the issue of immigration as a key line of attack on President Joe Biden in 2024, but while they are insisting the issue is so important they will not agree to fund Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s 2022 invasion until it is solved, they are also unwilling to participate in discussions to fund more border officers or immigration courts. Today, once again, Biden reminded reporters that he has asked Congress to pass new border measures since he took office, but rather than pass new laws, Republicans appear to be doubling down on pushing the idea that migrants threaten American society and that an individual state—Texas, in this case—can override federal authority.

Abbott has spent more than $100 million of Texas tax dollars to send migrants to cities led by Democrats. These migrants have applied for asylum and are waiting for a hearing; they are in the U.S. legally. In September 2023, Texas stopped coordinating with nonprofits in those cities that prepared for migrant arrivals.

Yesterday, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker wrote to Abbott, calling him out for choosing “to sow chaos in an attempt to score political points.” Pritzker noted that Abbott is “sending asylum seekers from Texas to the Upper Midwest in the middle of winter—many without coats, without shoes to protect them from the snow—to a city whose shelters are already overfilled with migrants you sent here.” Chicago’s temperatures are set to drop below zero this weekend, Pritzker wrote, and he “strongly urge[d]” Abbott to stop sending people to Illinois in these conditions. “You are dropping off asylum seekers without alerting us to their arrivals, at improper locations at all hours of the night.”

Pritzker wrote that he supports bipartisan immigration reform but “[w]hile action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state. We are asking you to help prevent additional deaths. We should be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to urge Congress to act. But right now, we are talking about human beings and their survival. I hope we can at least agree on saving lives right now.”

Speaking on the right-wing Dana Loesch Show last week, Abbott said, “The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”

On January 13, 1833, President Andrew Jackson wrote to Vice President–elect Martin van Buren to explain his position on South Carolina’s recent assertion that sovereign states could overrule federal laws. “Was this to be permitted the government would lose the confidence of its citizens and it would induce disunion everywhere. No my friend, the crisis must be now met with firmness, our citizens protected, and the modern doctrine of nullification and secession put down forever…. [N]othing must be permitted to weaken our government at home or abroad,” he wrote.

"Statistics show that women win child custody rights a staggering 90% of the time, even though fathers play an important role in their children's lives pre & post-divorce."

So, yeah. Men, if your wife is abusing your kids, then before divorcing, maybe change your gender to female.
