Mexico always sends firefighters to fight wildfires in America and Canada. They deploy to aid in hurricane and disaster relief in the gulf coast and Texas too, at times when the National Guard was still shuffling its feet and FEMA responses were days away.

Now we don’t even have that.

They’re sending their best people.

There’s a HUGE difference between Mexico actually sending resources vs organizations VOLUNTEERING to help out.
