If these crimes happened to white women you can bet your ass they'd be doing a lot more than billboards.
No doubt about it, but the chief purpose of the billboards is to discourage immigration, not to prevent sexual predation.

Agreed, once again showing that Republicans excel in selling fear.

After thinking about this, I’ve changed my mind - Abbott’s chief purpose is to make Texans think the billboards will discourage immigration. It’s a tough guy act at taxpayers’ expense.

And this is the guy that Donald Trump thought was best suited to serve as the nation's top law enforcement official?
Quote:Matt Gaetz ethics report finds 'substantial evidence' he participated in statutory rape, prostitution
“The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women" at a 2017 Florida party, "including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid," according to a draft of the committee's report.
"Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex," the report said. "At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school."
That witness told the committee she had not informed Gaetz she was younger than 18, "nor did he ask her age," the committee reportedly found.
In a post on X, Gaetz last week said he had sent money to girlfriends and women he dated, “even some I never dated but who asked,” and acknowledged he "probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have" when he was younger.
But, he insisted, “I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court − which is why no such claim was ever made in court."
On Monday, he asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to stop the Ethics Committee from releasing the report.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I am pretty confident that the list of people Trump has chosen contains few, if any, people who aren't sketchy at best. He is restocking the swamp in a big way.

When he says he's going to drain the swamp he means he's going to extract all the cash from it. You have to put yourself into the mind of a senile real estate developer. Then it makes perfect sense.
