They’re deporting US Army veterans.
They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.
Such a selfish group of human beings.
They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream.
One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it.
Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.
