At the time they were the Grifter's cages. Obama placed children of criminals in those "cages" because the children couldn't share a jail cell. Trump arbitrarily separated families, placed children in these cages, and never bothered to get
info from the parents for reuniting purposes.
How do you determine if the man accompanying a 5yo little Guatemalan girl is her father or a relative and not a human trafficker? Do you just 'process' them, getting fingerprints, then put them on a bus? On top of this little girl possibly being physically and sexually abused along the trip by Cartel s or smugglers, she then could possibly face the US allowing the smuggler to retain possession of her, bring her into the US, and force her into sex trafficking for the rest of her life because no one took the time to protect her, separate her from the trafficker, and positively ID both of them.
Would you try to find out who this little girl is and if the man she is with is really is, or would you just take his word for it, fingerprint him, then put him on an airplane headed for a location somewhere in the US, having a few statements on DHS letterhead intended to replace actual identification proving who they are?
The US needs a humane system where children, families, and adults are processed humanely. THAT means the flood gates are not opened, resulting in a stampede, an overwhelming surge, outpacing the ability to house them, care for them, identifying them, and processing them.
There is a process for 'refugees' seeking asylum. It does not involve traveling thousands of miles, sneaking / flooding across our border, then declaring they seek asylum - most of which are refused asylum at their trial, if they ever show up for their hearings. 'Refugees' seeking asylum, according to existing rules/law, once they escape the area they are fleeing, are supposed to apply for asylum in the US at the 1st US Embassy they come to. The US Embassy in Mexico is the location they are supposed to apply for refugee status / entry into the US. This had been ignored for decades. President Trump forged an agreement with the president of Mexico to establish / reinforce the process where illegals were not given automatic entry / access into the US but that they would remain in Mexico while they wait for their cases to be processed and heard.
The President of Mexico has declared this process was working successfully, that the agreements between the US and Couth and Central American nations on immigration the Biden administration says they are now seeking to forge already existed because President Trump had already negotiated them. Biden has broken the agreements, broken the process, and now seeks to 're-invent the wheel' , and in doing so he has created a MASSIVE COVID Super Spreader, Drug/Human/Child trafficking, Humanitarian, and National Security Disaster.
$60 MILLION dollars
a week of our taxes is going to taking care of just the 18,000+ - and more coming - kids, and that's just counting the un-accompanied children.
There are 600,000 homeless Americans in the United States being ignored by politicians. US children can't go back to school. Millions of American kids ate breakfast and lunch because of school lunches. Over 50% of minority-owned small businesses have been destroyed because of oppressive edicts that violated Constitutional and civil rights. Biden put tens f thousands of Americans out of work in his 1st 10 days in office...in the middle of a pandemic in the middle of the economy Democrats intentionally damaged to give them a better shot at gaining power. Throwing Americans a 'bone' - $1400 - while they add $1.5 TRILLION in Democrat wish list/agenda-driven spending was a charade, not a sincere act of caring for US citizens. Democrats have already re-engaged their politics of 'Economic Slavery' by increasing incentives for Americans to stay hom and rely of them to survive instead of going back to work. Biden laid off many Americans, and those who want a job now have to compete with a flood of illegals being allowed to freely enter the US.
To put it bluntly....
- Biden has blown up the existing agreements between the US and South American nations and Mexico
- Biden has caused the massive surge by declaring kids who come her will not be deported
- Biden has put children making it to the US in danger - physical and sexual abuse, murdered, child/sex trafficked...
- Biden is facilitating the largest drug/human/sex trafficking event in history; Cartels/Smugglers - $14 MIL a week
- Biden's Immigration Czar has declared we do not have sovereignty, that Cartels/Smugglers cross our border at will
- HUNDREDS of children in spaces designed for 80
- 20 - 30% of the children have COVID-19 & its spreading; American workers are getting it & have to work with it
- 80% of the children who make it have been physically sexually abused along the way
- Children are being sexually violated inside Biden's Kiddie cages, not protected
- No useable water in the detention facility in Texas
- US BP has been beggiung for help / volunteers,
- Biden administration is asking federal workers to volunteer for up to 120 days
- Illegals are being released without court dates - they need to self-report and ask for a date later inside the US

- Virus-infected illegals are being shipped all over the US without local/state officials being notified they're coming
- Biden Admin is declaring it is local/state officials' duty to test them, even though they are not told they're coming
- If local/sytate officials do test them & they are positive, they can not detain/hold them to treat them
- Biden's Admin is allowing illegals with no ID board/fly on planes with only a letter on DHS letterhead in pace of valid ID
This is not a 'crisis' - it is a DISASTER!
A humanitarian, COVID-19, & National Security DISASATER.
