I really thought it was going to say, “…later, that same Mexican firefighter, was rounded up by ICE and sent to an El Salvador concentration camp.”

El Salvador was so last month. Sudan is where they go now.

I wonder how many times they’ll be questioned by ICE while trying to help the people of Texas

Cops in America don't go into dangerous situations to do their jobs, be reasonable.

They're going to Uvalde the fires and grab dirty people running away from them in case they're brown.

I mean, those people are probably now homeless, and that's illegal now so it really doesn't matter if they're brown or not.

If I was one of the volunteer firefighters from Mexico I wouldn’t trust any mutual aid agreement to guarantee I can go back to Mexico and sleep in my bed.

Don’t worry ICE are still just cops at heart, you wouldn’t catch them anywhere near a dangerous situation where they might be asked to help out

The majority of the “new look” ICE are seeing something other than mom’s basement for the first time in years.

I just feel bad for the guy who has to shave off all the neckbeards when they arrive at the academy. Of course that's assuming there is an academy and they get training beyond just being handed a gun and the skin color chart from family guy

My Mexican brothers don’t stoop to GOP lows. They’re out here helping while good people are being disappeared. Viva Mexico!

“They don’t see Americans, they just see humans in need”. Some other person who is not me. I agree though, we are raised to be helpful no matter the circumstance.

They don’t see firefighters or people helping out, they just see brown people in america

It's a kind & decent thing to do (since Texas is forever fucking itself w/ some self-inflicted nonsense) but you're not going to win them over.

Fox News is basically their PBS down there.

Rumor has it, they were promptly arrested by ICE and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

Alligator concentration camp. Alcatraz was a much better place than where they are sending people.

It has in the past. There were reports after Katrina of some areas on the Gulf seeing rescue crews from Canada and Mexico before FEMA showed up.

Canadian here. I got there 6 days after Katrina and there was already a large compliment of other Canadians and Mexicans there. There was some FEMA people there, but it was a while before those guys showed up in large numbers.

I stayed for just over a month and saw everything go from the initial holy shit period to somewhat organized chaos. FEMA did an ok job after all the bureaucratic hurdles were dealt with.

Their idea of rapid response is really not too rapid, but they do bring a lot of toys with them when they finally show up.

We really dont deserve any outside help, just a complete joke of a country for allowing ourselves to get here, and yet the great people of Mexico come to our aid regardless, aiding those who despise them most
