Better than having them separated.
That's what I thought. Plenty of Hondurans (and others) acting based on their perception of Biden as a decent human being. I fail to see how their perception Biden's fault.
Changing the narrative already?
Hey, I get it! Really! The only way to defend biden is to avoid talking about what he's doing.
The narrative you misrepresented? Yes, yes I did. Or do you honestly think it was the cages that were the issue, not the family separation?
You can think of no other solution? It is either cages or left in the desert to die?
The press secretary can't address an issue that she/he doesn't have the answers to, would you rather she just spout something off the top of her head?Now kids are being put in those same cages, and his press secretary won't even address the issue.
...Thousands of newly hopeful migrants in Central America have recently joined WhatsApp and Facebook groups dedicated to organizing northbound caravans, slated to begin leaving the region in the coming weeks...

Forgive me if I’ve got this incorrect, but are you suggesting that the United States give aid to Mexico to be our “private prison abroad”?Mexico could receive aid to create camps on their side of the border for these people.
This would have been a good idea when separating families because of concern that the children were being shepherded into the country by wily human-traffickers. That would’ve been definitive proof of “who belonged with whom”, which would have come in handy after the previous administration was told to reunite these families, but that’d’ve cost money.Those that are attended, should be tested with Dna.

Yeah, I don’t see Mexico going fascist soon.
We’re talking about paying a foreign government to detain people that they (by International Treaty) have no right to hold (save for laws broken while in Mexico). But that’s “not a prison” because prisons are called prisons and camps are called camps?She said "camps". Where did you get "private prison abroad"? What she said was simple enough to understand. Why do you insist upon reading something other than what is clearly written?
He felt he had to stop them because we hadn't the facilities to discharge our responsibility to these refugees in accord with international law. We still don't, and neither does Mexico and it's still a cruel mess. Mexico devoted resources to the problem under threat, but we didn't.
separated from whom exactly?Better than having them separated.

You’re down to semantics already?

5) Just BTW, the number that skipped their trial dates under Obama were low. But the Obama process of waiting 4 years for a hearing will not work, and requiring a 4 ever old to appear without an advocate is ridiculous.
We have laws. They will be upheld. HOWEVER, reversing trump's debacle cannot happen in a few weeks. There are still some parents to be found for the Trump children.
=================
1) Unaccompanied children cannot be held at the border for more than 72 hours. If army bases are not acceptable, and tent cities are accpeptable, then hotels will be used or built, and they needn't be at the border.
2) What we need is a system for initial processing within 72 hours. This will take hundreds of immigration judges and advocates.
3) And, yes, if there are to be further hearings, there must be a way to track the children.
4) With regard to families, they too should be processed within 72 hours.
