Border Crisis Update

Crisis seems to be the right word:

Border crisis: 823 unaccompanied migrant children held in border patrol custody for over 10 days: report

It appears they are in this case.

In fact, it was highlighted:

TV commentator Tom Borelli noted the network's apparent shift in tone on Twitter, writing Sunday, "So @JoeBiden border crisis is so bad even CNN is criticizing his effort to hide the crisis from the media."

So, perhaps that should be modified to: "The MSM is seldom critical of Biden."

Which would mean, on those rare occasions when they are, we should take note.

Thank you for the reply.

It appears others are taking note of how this is being handled:


“There is absolutely no immigration crisis on the southern border.” That’s the repeated message from the Biden administration. It simply isn’t true.

Our leaders are telling Americans to ignore the overcrowded immigrant centers and caravans on the way. Don’t look at unaccompanied minors, arriving in record numbers. Those are mere “challenges.” Want to see for yourself? Sorry, no can do. The administration has blocked journalists from inspecting immigration facilities or accompanying the Border Patrol on their rounds. This is not the way to discuss democratic choices. It’s the way to grow mushrooms.

The media blackout and litany of false statements are reminiscent of the most dazzling press spokesman of modern times, “Baghdad Bob.” The mouthpiece for Saddam Hussein during the Iraq War famously told the world press, “There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!" What made his statement so memorable was that, just behind him on camera, American bombs were exploding. American troops were swarming into the country. He bravely -- inanely -- denied it all. U.S. soldiers, he said, “hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion.” He was soon captured by those illusory troops.

Attempting to block the press from coving a story that is politically embarrassing sounds like kind of a big deal, no?

Or are we fine with that?

Take note of who is silent on this, or who tires to rationalize this, or who tries to change the subject.

I imagine CNN being able to cover this story would be good for ratings, and being denied that right has to be frustrating for them.

The larger issues are, of course, the denial of first amendment rights to the press corps, and the caging up of migrants during a pandemic.

The administration isn't looking its best at the moment.

Denying the media at the border cages is the straw that broke the donkey's back
Thursday night is going to be interesting to watch

And consider this:

ABC’s Martha Raddatz to illegal alien who crossed the border: “Would you have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president?” Illegal alien: “Definitely not.” Raddatz: “Did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?” Illegal: “Basically”

Funny how that works huh? They have to now to justify Kamala going 25th on your demented party leader.

Biden says:

Biden says he will visit border 'at some point'
Biden says he will visit border 'at some point' (msn.com)

The crisis is now and Biden is failing to act on one of your key issues...Getting new voters and slave wage earners who won't complain.

Yes, why isn't she there now with cages full crying crocodile tears, maybe she's at the Hotels taxpayers are paying $millions for rooms

That's a fair question - The crisis now seems very real indeed.

You would think that if the issue were important enough to be crying outside of a migrant camp for a photo opportunity during the Trump administration, it would be equally important to be crying outside of a migrant camp for a photo opportunity during the Biden registration

If it were a core issue for her - yes.

If it was a cheap photo op - no.

Behold! The new transparency.....

Newest Border Crisis Update:

As of 11:59 AM. 3/22/2021 there still is NO crisis.

Let it be known to all among the great unwashed masses that the Biden administration has stated such and as President his words are above reproach.

Move along now.

Unfortunately, this does seem to be a non-issue for many on the left.

Odd, it was critically important to them just a few short months ago...

Biden administration awards ICE $86M contract to secure hotel rooms for illegal families

The contract, through Texas-based nonprofit Endeavors, provides 1,239 beds and "other necessary services." The families will receive a comprehensive health assessment, including COVID-19 testing.

No?

They should be held in jail as they currently are and held there until their parents come get them.

Then arrest the parents for child endangerment/abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor and put their useless asses on a chain-gang somewhere clearing ditches as they are apparently of the opinion physical activity outdoors is no problem for their kids so they should do just fine.

The illegal invasion problem would then soon correct itself.
