Del Rio, Texas, WHY?

The gutter installers have showed up just like they said they would.  Rare thing from what we have experienced recently.  It is much appreciated.  They say it will only take them 2-3 hours.  Wow.  

We have the Granddaughter today.  She brightens life for us.  We had been missing her since we had been quarantined.  The oldest Granddaughter is now out and about.  She will have to miss one day of her Homeschool Coop due to their 14 day protocol.  But she is fine and no one else that was exposed to her caught the COVID.

Went to get my flu shot the other day.  They denied me as they read the insurance coverage wrong.  I went to a pharmacy to get it, so they looked at my pharmacy coverage when it should be my regular insurance coverage.  I didn't realize that until I got home.   Same thing as last year but this time I forgot to have them check.  

I have seen quite a few brief reports (on the www) about the disaster unfolding at Del Rio with the flood of humanity attempting to enter our border.  It is only about 150 miles from us.  We don't even see reports on it from the local news.  The city they report from is a very large blue city with very liberal politics.  It is also the first major city entering the country from that part of Mexico.  Our DPS has their squad cars lined up to block the wave at a point where there is a low damn across the river that the people are using.  Last report I read there were 15K people waiting under a bridge on our side of the border.  Just think of the sanitation issues alone.  Someone has provided porta potties.  The logistics of handling that many unprepared destitute people is enormous.  Only Texas is trying to handle this.  The Feds are nonexistent other than the border patrol and they are overwhelmed. We are a red state so the blue government is letting hang.  I would say much of the rest of the State has no DPS available as this has been described as 'all hands on deck' situation.  There are some State Military forces but apparently they are minimal as none appear in any photos or videos I have seen.  

What is happening there begs questions.  Why Del Rio?  It is not a large city and it is already overwhelmed.  Grocery stores are pretty much empty and they don't have many.  A lot of factors are making food scare.  Some humanitarian aid is buying available groceries and I would guess the locals are a little concerned with this mass of people they have been stockpiling making it even more scarce.  Can you blame them?  Del Rio is not a wealthy city so there is not a lot available.  Was that part of the goal?  Overwhelm the local city and make it easier to enter?  It's pretty desolate out there.  Turning them loose into the countryside would kill a lot of them and cause others to rampage in the city just for food.

The reports also say the largest percentage of those trying to enter are from Haiti.  They just had another major earthquake there so many have lost everything.  How did all these people get here from there?  Haiti is an island.  They didn't have boats that they owned to get this far.  Why did they all wind up at Del Rio instead of closer spots in the US?  It makes no sense.  It is pretty obvious this is a coordinated invasion.  Yes, it is no less than an invasion.  These poor folks are being taken advantage of.  For what true reason?  It can't be for good reasons IMO.  There are some dark forces at work here.  It's more than just one person, it has to be a collection of people or countries that want the worst for America.
