OH gosh seems like these are asylum seekers... The number of migrants crossing the border often goes up during the transition between presidential administrations, but a Health and Human Services official who spoke on condition of anonymity also attributed the increase to the Biden administration's allowing migrants to enter the U.S. who had otherwise been kept out by the Trump administration.
The number of unaccompanied asylum-seekers who wind up in shelters run by HHS is expected to keep climbing. Advocates and some members of Congress say the administration should find alternatives to care for them rather than build more temporary facilities.

Are you saying that Biden's policies are still separating families? You never answered my question. How many meals are you going to offer these children? Where are you going to bus them to? Are they doing it as administration policy? No idea. Is CBP still doing it? Probably. I know we still have kids in jails and thousands of migrants of all ages still in jails. And we're still doing deportations. So forgive me if I'm not impressed that Biden is slightly to the left of Stephen Miller on this issue. Ya, cuz Biden has been in office for almost 5 weeks. Why has he not solved the immigration problem?

He could order deportations halted whenever he wants. He could unilaterally close all kinds of detention facilities. He could pardon every person in ICE custody tonight.

this one is for cindra when talking about foster care..... While the number of children arriving at the border without parents or legal guardians is rising, so is the time it takes HHS to find relatives or other sponsors to house them in the U.S. while they wait for asylum hearings.
The lag between the number of children going into the facilities and the number of those able to be sent to live with sponsors is due to a rigorous vetting process by HHS. In 2014, during an influx in unaccompanied migrant children, HHS sent eight Guatemalan children to work in poor conditions on an Ohio egg farm, according to court documents. The incident triggered calls for sponsors to be more fully vetted before they take in migrant children.

Just asking why you think these children coming across the border should be sold into slave labor. You are the one who suggested "foster homes" We all know where that could lead so we can only assume you want to sell these children into slave labor. What the hell are you talking about? might want to check this out form NBC News....

How exactly would that solve the issue of unaccompanied children crossing the border seeking asylum? It . . . wouldn't? I've already offered (three times now) an idea to stop unaccompanied minors crossing the borders. Also, I don't know why you keep lumping migrants in with asylum seekers.

You keep acting like Biden has no agency in all this.

Don't look now, but when faced with facts, you are beginning to sputter. So you solution to unaccompanied children crossing the border is to not arrest the parents? That hardly makes sense.

Nothing you mentioned would solve the child issue we are discussing.

You asked why Biden hadn't solved immigration in five weeks. I said he could do those things to help solve it. You decided to act like my suggestions were about a specific immigration issue.

Only because THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING. It's OK to admit you were wrong. In your case it could be quite healthy for you.
