For anyone who contends there is no crisis at the border:


Former Obama Official On The Surge At The Border: 'This Is A Refugee Crisis'

The number of migrants crossing into the United States in March was higher than in any month in at least 15 years.

That's according to preliminary data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that was reviewed by The Washington Post. The figures show U.S. agents apprehended more than 171,000 migrants in March, including more than 18,800 unaccompanied minors. In all, the number of arrests and detentions has more than doubled since January, according to the Post.

The skyrocketing numbers have posed an early test for the Biden administration, which has refused to refer to what's happening on the border as a crisis.

"The truth of the matter is nothing has changed," President Biden said during his first press conference in office late last month. "It happens every single, solitary year: There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. That happens every year."

Cecilia Muñoz, who worked on the Biden transition team and previously served as director of former President Barack Obama's Domestic Policy Council, says there is indeed a crisis that needs solving, but it's a crisis that extends far beyond the border.

"This is a refugee crisis in our hemisphere, and you're never going to be able to fix a refugee crisis with the measures that we take at the border," Muñoz says.

More "Pinocchio's" for the President?

Guy says “refugee crisis in our hemisphere,” and you have him saying “border crisis.”

Quite deplorable.

Update: It appears Americans are increasingly dissatisfied by this administration's response to the border crisis:



Poll: More disapprove than approve of Biden's handling of surge of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at border

I don't see how anyone could actually approve, other than being either oblivious to the situation or a Biden loyalist no matter what.

Where is Biden's* Nobel Prize? Amirite?

Where else is this crisis?

Where else are people suffering human rights violations of this nature at a border in this hemisphere due to Joe Biden* beside than the U.S. Mexico border?

I think this one is trying to justify the thread lie. Hard to tell though....too much babbling.

What??? You saying the thread tells us that Biden* is doing a good job at the border? Cuz that would be a lie. Say why don't you go to a children's center on the border and film the travesty and show us how it really is cuz Joe has nothing...Nothing to hide, right?

Update: Where's Kamala?


Two weeks ago, Biden named Harris as his "point person" to address the ongoing surge of men, women and children flooding our immigration system. Given the scale of the crisis – exemplified by children being thrown over walls and the clear potential of a COVID-19 super-spreading event – one would expect the vice president to immediately jump on Air Force Two and get to the border. Right?

Wrong. Instead, she’s joining her boss in refusing to go see the crisis that their reckless, backward policies have created. Maybe she doesn’t want pictures next to the children sleeping in cages. Maybe she’s too busy complaining about living in a 70,000-square-foot mansion (seriously).

Harris hasn’t even taken the time to hold a press conference since allegedly taking charge of the border situation. She is working harder on avoiding accountability for the crisis than she is on trying to fix it. 

It gets worse. She traveled to California – a border state – Easter weekend with no plans whatsoever to make an appearance at the border. Instead, she spent time in Los Angeles and Oakland, without scheduling public events. This comes after border state governors have openly pleaded with her to show up in person and help solve the problem.

Taking a California vacation on the taxpayer’s dime when there’s a humanitarian crisis raging mere miles to the south is cynical, weak and fundamentally uncaring.  

Harris’ failure to do even the bare minimum – just showing up – is an insult to the people working overtime at the border to care for the thousands of unaccompanied children that are here due to her administration’s policies. They are working under immense stress to provide some level of safety and comfort even as the system is stretched to the breaking point.

Given the level of the humanitarian crisis at the border, it seems like a fair question: Why can't the administration's point person be bothered to do the bare minimum for these people?

Border Crisis Update April 07, 2021 - Building the Wall edition:


The Biden administration might resume construction of the wall along the southern border after President Joe Biden halted building the Trump administration project earlier this year.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees last week that construction might ramp up again to fill the current “gaps” in the wall, according to a report.

Mayorkas said that though the president stopped Pentagon funds from going to the wall and ended former President Donald Trump’s border emergency designation, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”

Customs and Border Protection reportedly also submitted a plan on the wall to administration officials.
