Will be interesting to see the liberal outrage on this board about the children caged like stray dogs on the border. Well, it would be an outrage if Trump was doing it. Biden will get the ole double standard pass.

[paraclete]

Hyperbole, Biden has said he won't refuse them, he didn't say how he would accommodate them

[talaniman]

Typical fringer yackety yak. Put up with a lying, cheating dufus making a huge mess for 4 years, and criticize the new guy for not getting it cleaned up fast enough.

I'm hearing that Quid an company are turning the San Diego Convention Center into a "temporary' permanent illegals processing center for minors . I guess they will get a front row seat for Comicon. 1,400 initially . I'm sure they will have luxurious accommodations, and properly socially distanced .

I got a radical idea that would end the problem tomorrow . Immediate deportation . Once the word starts spreading that Quid's open border agenda is at an end ;you would be surprised at how fast the crisis that they refuse to call a crisis would end.

BTW ;Quid did what President's do when there is something that is a no win for them to do .....he handed it off to his VP .

Same for the Dallas Convention and a few military bases. Don't know why you righties hate KIDS, or need a heavily armed gunboat to tour the Rio Grande.

Biden, thank God, does not think in those Trumpian terms - as a novel presence in the WH, he is trying to deal with a difficult problem, among others at the moment. As a nation, we should practice what we preach.

Drug cartels and criminal gangs and mobs have been around since the beginning of time and it's not like we don't have those same conditions in American neighborhoods. Things haven't changed much since your old articles from the last decade have they?

U.S. border agents carried out nearly 100,000 apprehensions or rapid expulsions of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in February, according to two people familiar with preliminary figures, the highest monthly total since mid-2019.

Ol'Joe looks like he may well be like Obama with deportations.

[tomder55]

not nearly enough . He first put out the welcome mat . Then he said come on over ....just not right away ..the optics are bad .

[Athos]

..the optics are bad .

Optics are in the eye of the beholder.

Optics in this case are supported by data.

What can we do to help them in their home countries so we're not beseiged by an influx of refugees who are looking for safety and a better life?

Day 66. A works in progress and in the grand scheme of things to early to call...unless you're the opposition and want to score points.

Not like he had a peaceful and cooperative transition, or left with the best situations possible unlike the dufus.

Optics in this case are supported by data.

The data says every prez has surges of refugees before the summer heat. Show data.

[jlisenbe]

From NBC news.

"There was a 28 percent surge in apprehensions at the southern border from January to February of this year, the most recent and complete data point from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) available right now. The Trump administration saw a 31 percent surge in migrant apprehensions from January to February 2019.
But Biden specifically mentions children, and that’s where his facts are incorrect. There is a far bigger surge of unaccompanied minor children right now than there was two years ago. From January to February 2019, there was a 31 percent surge in children stopped by CBP. From January to February 2021, there has been a 61 percent surge in those stops.
What’s more, the February numbers do not address what’s happening right now in March. As of March 23, there were 4,962 children in CBP custody, well above the 30-day average of 3,243, according to an update from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Homeland Security Wednesday.
In mid-March, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was brought in to help handle the surge of migrants children. On March 18, FEMA awarded $110 million in supplemental funding to feed and shelter migrants."

[talaniman]

Joe can handle it.

[paraclete]

So he's doing a once a quarter press conference, maybe he will get two in before the fourth of July, this fellow does less real work than any of them

[talaniman]

He makes it look easy but cleaning up the biggest mess in history and following the worst president of the century ain't that easy.

[tomder55]

he looks like he is sleeping in and giving the messy work to his VP

[paraclete]

Isn't that what VP are for and this one needs training
