DHS chief says border closed, won't give timeline for facilities capable of handling surge of unaccompanied children
CNN ^ | 3/21/2021 | Devan Cole

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined Sunday to provide a timeline for when the Biden administration will open new facilities capable of handling the surge of unaccompanied children at the southern border.

"We established three new facilities last week. ... We are working on the system from beginning to end. We are working around the clock 24/7," Mayorkas told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" when pressed on the administration's timeline for having new processing facilities up and running. "We have dealt with surges in the past and the men and women of Department of Homeland Security will succeed."

The comments from Mayorkas, who insisted the southern border is currently closed to migrants, come as the situation there worsens amid a surge in unaccompanied children in US custody. The Biden administration has resisted calling the situation a crisis, even as Democratic and Republican lawmakers do so as they pressure officials to rectify the growing issue.

Too bad the border wasn’t closed the day Al-eh-HANDRO and his family showed up begging to be let in.

Mayorkas is not a brown man. He is a trans planted Greek whose family came to the USA via Cuba.

This propaganda about “unaccompanied children” is horse shit.
Most of them are very short young men!
They are in their 20s and early 30s!
They have no birth certificates and are coming in here with a board of diseases, criminal records and psychiatric diseases.
They are being let loose here?
NO!
Take them to the Mexican side where they came from and let the Me I am government send them back to where they came from.
NO UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN 0-12 WOULD BE COMING HERE UNLESS SOMEONE BUSED THEM TO THE. BORDER.
We all KNOW who has done this before!

It's funny, they want you to assume he's Hispanic but his mom was a Romanian Jew who emigrated to Cuba and his Jewish Cuban father had roots in Poland & Turkey.

He did happen to be born in Cuba; they migrated in the 1960s and he grew up in Beverly Hills.

It sounds like he's no more Hispanic/Cuban American than my naturalized white friend from South Africa can call himself an African-American. But the rules of woke vary depending on the object discussed. He's with the Dems so he will be designated whatever they need him to be for their identity politics. Sad.

They need to take down the border fencing first, before using it to build cages.

The only policy that made sense for America was Trump's policy of orderly legalization, a secure border, Stay-in-Mexico and the agreements with triangle countries to hold the line on migrant caravans.

Joe's open borders policy is reckless. But he's just following the Left's plan to ensuring a steady stream of a new underclass they can exploit for political power as well as appeasing the cheap labor crowd.

Sorry, border is closed, unless you just want to walk across where there is no Wall.

Moose out front should have told you.

The largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years has been the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.

Trump attempting to stop it is why both parties cooperated to cheat him out of office.

A day late and a dollar short for that.

You’re both correct and I am aware of his background.

To call him “hispanic” is a joke of course; he’s a mixture of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish people, and his mother is likely a descendant of the Khazarian Jews of the 10th century North of Anatolia.

But Sephardim would claim they are “hispanic” as they were in Spain from about the 1st century onward until the expulsion under Ferdinand and Isabella. Maybe his father goes back to that, and felt like Havana could be home.

But I really doubt it; going to Havana was a way to get to the US without being able to get in after the 1924 immigration act, which to them was the Most Evilest Act Ever....because it kept them out mostly.

So yeah...he’s not hispanic except possibly in a distant sense. But then my genetics tell me that I have relatives in Spain, who likely were left behind 6000 years ago when my ancestors migrated North into Northern Europe as the glaciers receded. Doesn’t make me “Spanish” or “hispanic”, although I share a lot more genetics with them then this guy probably does.

He’s a charlatan, a rich European Jewish guy who landed in the Joo Ess of Ey as Castro the Caudillo was stealing the land of business people like his family, Spaniard or not. He’s a Cuban by the accident of the geography of his birth.

And to call him an “American”, and give him the keys to the security of the United States? Insane. He has only the most tenuous connection to this nation, and would be gone tomorrow morning if another offer was better. If it looks like the Chinese Communists are going to win the game, he’ll be camping in downtown Beijing and wearing bobby pins to slant his eyes.

But that’s the way he and his buddies conceive of the US. To them, there are no “Americans”. It’s just a parking lot to them: a temporary place to operate from. Move on when you have to, work out the next grift.

It’s the Alien Occupation Government. And he’s in charge of flooding the country with more aliens so they can snuff out the Americans in their own land.

Good thing we let his charming little family in back in 1960, huh? I was one state away in Arizona, growing up in the heat...but he gets to live in Beautiful Bel Air, I guess to assuage his pain of leaving Cooba. And then they hand over the security of the country to him, for what reason....no one can tell us. He takes the Oath with his fingers crossed, and dreams of a day when the people who let him in are pounded into submission at the hands of the Third World rabble.

Great argument to never let a single damn “refugee” in ever again.
