They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    Right, better that they die in their own country rather than seek asylum elsewhere and “give the middle finger” to those with more money, connections and time than they have.

    Dying is bad but being disrespectful of unfair rules? Well nothing is worse than that.

      Maybe it’s unfair their own country isn’t helping them. Again, if you feel our rules are unfair there are mechanisms to change them. Ignoring them is not the proper approach.

        I know, I already agreed with you. Being proper is much more important than people’s lives. Much smarter to work on changing the laws of a country you don’t reside in, or you not dying might have the horrible tragedy of breaking a rule.

          As a diabetic, I wasn’t able to obtain affordable insulin (which threatens my life), so I hijacked a truck and stole a case. This is clearly morally correct.
