So 61% are okay with putting children in cages within the “concentration camps”, disgusting.

Yes but where is AOC's outcry about these awful "concentration camps" where people were forced to drink from toilets (which was false by the way)?

The national news doesn't even mention the crisis until about 6:50, and even then gives it 30 seconds.

The only reason at all they're even reporting is because they have no choice, footage has leaked. It would have leaked anyway. People are furious. This isn't North Korea no matter how badly the BS news tries to make it so.

Also, gee whiz what about Covid?

And are you further aware that even if those clicks all represent real people, that doesn’t mean they represent a statistically predictive sample of the voting population?
Yes, I'm aware. Okay? If you really think 61% of us approve of Biden I have a bridge to sell you.

That’s not an atypical rating for a new president. Only Trump was an aberration wrt presidential approvals in that he never got above 50.

Nope. Nice try though.
https://news.wbfo.org/post/fact-chec...not-kids-cages

From the article:

"Theresa Cardinal Brown, a former senior adviser on immigration in both the Bush and Obama administrations, said the comparisons to the Trump administration are unfair and not accurate.

It's true that the facilities were built by the Trump administration, but she said the similarities largely stop there.

This is not "kids in cages," she said, which referred to detention facilities run by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Carrizo Springs facility is operated by the Department of Health and Human Services, and it includes educational services and medical care.

Pictures of the facility show children staying in rooms with bunk beds and having access to sporting facilities.

Brown said it's not as good as being in a person's home, but the government needs to take time to ensure children are placed in safe hands.

She said the Biden team inherited a hollowed out immigration system. They can't just release the children without properly vetting potential sponsors. But they also need time to develop a new system."

Until yesterday there was a media blackout, the severity of which no administration going back to at least Clinton has done. Like I said they're only reporting it because they have no choice. Americans are going to the border and watching all of these illegals walk right in or cross the river.

Yeah, I don't believe it.

Conservatives make up 50% of the US and there is no way any of them think Biden is doing a good job.

Only about 30% of all Americans think he's doing good at the Border.

If this were Trump, then AOC would be crying at the border, and the 24/7 news cycle would be bashing the mean old Trump for the damage he is doing.

And he never answered the questions, and even US Senators are not allowed to photograph the conditions at the border.


Biden created this crisis at the border. Breath of fresh air indeed, tell that to the 3,000 children packed like sardines into a detention facility only equipped for 250 people. These children are packed in with kids with COVID, hepatitis, TB and other diseases. Do you even hear yourself speak on these issues?
