The Post’s Silvia Foster-Frau wrote Monday night that the Biden administration has
reactivated a child migrant facility in Texas. The facility in Carrizo Springs, Tex., can hold up to 700 teenage children and is being reopened because of a surge in unaccompanied minors arriving at the border and coronavirus-related restrictions on how many people existing facilities can hold, among other factors.....
And here’s the biggest point: Trump’s policy on children at the border wasn’t controversial merely because it resulted in children being held at the border, which is a long-standing reality and is what will happen at this facility. It was controversial because it forced children to be separated from their parents given its hard-line policy requiring that the parents be held and not released into the country (and given that children couldn’t be held with their parents). This, in effect, made for more children (often very young) that needed to be held alone — about 3,000 in total — beyond the unaccompanied minors (who are often older) who arrive.
Key sentence to show the difference between Trump and Biden:
It was controversial because it forced children to be separated from their parents given its hard-line policy requiring that the parents be held and not released into the country (and given that children couldn’t be held with their parents).
Anyone remember this?

Going to the border and standing at a wall means nothing at all. El Paso is separated from Juarez, Mexico by a river (canal at this point). Gettin updated at the border station and getting up to date info from the border agents was good enough.
I am glad she didn't go for the photo op. This is just a hunt for something to criticize the current administration.
