  • I’m so torn on this. I’m all for helping people. But, we need a way to know who is coming in our country. Why not open more of these; and vet these people while they are there.

    This man and this group is loving thy neighbor as thyself. I wonder if Paxton and Abbott remember that when they warm the pews on Sunday morning. Jesus loves the migrants. God bless you, Ruben. Thank you for doing God’s will.

    For Republican politicians being kind from one person to another is bad. I surmise that their point of view is that any opportunity to inflict pain should be taken.

    Are you getting money from the government? Do you get paid per person? If you are taking money from the gov’t, then you are not doing as Christ said by spending your own money

    Republic or Democrat love has to be shown. I appreciate watching this it’s reminding me to see illegals as humans again I never heard about the fire why hasn’t anyone mentioned this Kamala of all people should have 😔

    Glad I don't live in Texas. We need to fix the border problem but not be cruel. The baby Jesus was a refugee in Egypt.
  • @sinistan1002
    WONDER WHAT JESUS WOULD DO OR HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT 😄
  • Is this the same faith base that believes that one should turn the other cheek and give them the knee and let them beat you. Are do you believe that you should rather die on your feet fighting for liberty and justice for all. A man should never put his hands on a woman that's the truth behind turning the other cheek. 🇺🇲🇲🇽🇨🇦
  • I love how the government comes in a guarantees us the worst religion has to offer and only that.
  • @o.g.Dittzxx
    The same people telling you to vote for a woman president, can’t define what a woman is.🤔 weird
  • Stop trying to help the people who are coming into this country and ruining it
