After a record-breaking year of migrant crossings, Eagle Pass is applying for a grant to help pay for therapy and other mental health services.
The crisis unfolding at the U.S.-Mexico border since last year has spilled over into the fire engines and ambulances of a small Texas town.
First responders in Eagle Pass say they are overwhelmed and increasingly traumatized by what they see: parents drowned or dying, their children barely holding onto life after attempting to cross the Rio Grande.
The emotional strain on firefighters and EMTs has grown so great that city officials have applied for a state grant that would bring in additional mental health resources for front-line workers.
We have these things called border crossings, where anyone can cross safely and legally, maybe they should try crossing there instead of entering the country illegally.
Yup, totally good and useful to kill people with deadly infrastructure over this. I think we should set it up so that people going in the exit doors of a businesses should fall into a river with barbed wire and die too. The world would be a better place. /s
Maybe we should consider conservatism illegal and star throwing rightwingers on barbed wire
