Some , you just don't play politics with. Unless you are ing Ted Cruz.
More than 20 Texas representatives and senators voted against Sandy aid. How will they vote on Harvey?
Of the 24 GOP members of the Texas House delegation in 2013, all but one voted against the Sandy relief package in 2013.
The one “yea” vote was Rep. John Culberson, whose district includes Houston.
But seven other Houston-area congressmen voted the package down.

Mexico says nope to Trump's wall demand but offers Harvey disaster relief 'as good neighbors do'
The Washington Post this past weekend:And it was more than 10,000 immigrants that helped to rebuild New Orleans, despite the fact that many of them were never paid for their work and others faced the threat of deportation.
The aid Mexico sent was no small thing — it was an extraordinary gesture, and it may have saved many lives.
Marking the first time that Mexican troops had set foot on U.S. soil since the Mexican-American War in 1846, President Vicente Fox sent an army convoy and a naval vessel laden with food, water and medicine.
By the end of their three-week operation in Louisiana and Mississippi, the Mexicans had served 170,000 meals, helped distribute more than 184,000 tons of supplies and conducted more than 500 medical consultations.
“Mexico and the United States are nations which are neighbors and friends which should always have solidarity in moments of difficulty,” Fox told NBC News at the time.

Trump Just Arrived In Texas For Harvey Visit And Immediately Embarrassed Himself
Trump appears largely concerned with the publicity that his widely touted trip will earn him.

Trump, in Texas, praises his FEMA director as "a man who's become very famous" as a result of Tropical Storm Harvey
12:09 PM - Aug 29, 2017
“We won’t say congratulations. We don’t want to do that. …
We’ll congratulate each other when it’s all finished”
said Trump to conclude his photo-op with Governor Abbott, already
dreaming about the applause the right-wing media will shower him with for making a cursory attempt to show sympathy for the plebs.
It should not escape notice that the President is actively promoting his own businesses
while he’s in Texas, still wearing the “USA” hat that he sells in his Official Trump Campaign Store – for forty dollars.

Above all, move the Made In not-the-USA merchandise.
Why even go to Ironside's Hitler bunker? Austin is fine. Houston is in trouble.
I'm sure his decision has something to do with bonespurs.

Melania was also wearing a tasteless "FLOTUS" cap that I suspect will probably be going on sale at some point.
He doesn't want to hamper the rescue process. It's certainly the right decision.
