FEMA to the Rescue: Hurricane? Tornado? Earthquake? No -- To Provide Assistance With Unaccompanied Minors at the Border
Red State.com ^ | March 14, 2021 | Shipwrecked Crew

The Biden Administration has directed FEMA to help shelter and transfer migrant children who are crossing unaccompanied into the United States at the border with Mexico.

FEMA is the Federal EMERGENCY Management Agency. They provide governmental assistance in times of EMERGENCIES — at times when the normal assistance available for various government agencies is insufficient to deal with the EMERGENCY.

Usually, that is a situation caused by an act of “Mother Nature.” But in the case of the Biden Administration, the EMERGENCY is caused entirely by the government — and it was entirely predictable.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas said FEMA would help children found at the border avoid being treated as detainees of Customs and Border Protection and move them more quickly into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.

From CBS News:

Nearly 9,500 unaccompanied minors, most of them from Central America, entered U.S. border custody in February — a 21-month high. More than 7,000 of them were transferred to the U.S. refugee agency, which has been struggling to find enough bed space in its network of shelters….

The dwindling bed space at U.S. refugee agency shelters has created a massive backlog of minors in Border Patrol holding facilities, most of which were built to briefly detain adult migrants, not children. The number of children held in Border Patrol custody this week has averaged more than 3,000.

On Friday, CBS News reported that children detained at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) holding facility in south Texas told lawyers they were being held in overcrowded conditions. The children also reported having to sleep on the floor, not being able to call family members, having limited access to showers and not seeing sunlight in nearly a week.

This is not a smart way to handle the problems of children expected to be future Democrat voters.

The overt and entirely political motivations behind the push by Democrat politicians to create a “path to citizenship” for some/all of the “Dreamers” — adults who were brought to the United States illegally as children by their parents — is the expectation that more such newly minted voters will vote for Democrats than Republicans.

Why would a new Democrat Administration have any different motivation in terms of encouraging a continuing flow of migrant children into the country who are allowed in with the same expectation that they too will eventually be provided a similar “path to citizenship” along with “Thank You Joe” buttons at various stops along the way?

But by placing unaccompanied children in the care of HHS, while returning adults accompanied by children back to Mexico — as the Biden Administration is doing — it is causing the predictable outcome that more parents will send their children unaccompanied across the border. According to NBC News:

So many unaccompanied minors were showing up at the border in late winter that some observers believe a new humanitarian crisis could be brewing.

More than 3,200 unaccompanied migrant children are being housed in Customs and Border Protection holding facilities, NBC News reported Monday. More than half were being held in so-called “ice boxes” not intended for children because detainees can only be held in the cells for a maximum of three days.

The problem for the Biden Administration POLICY of not discouraging this illegal migration is that the flow is continuous and shows no signs of letting up.

Obviously, unaccompanied children do not arrive on the US side of the border with a “plan” for how to evade the Border Patrol and immigration authorities once they arrive. Rather, the “plan” is to find such officials and surrender themselves and ask for “asylum.”

The public announcement that FEMA will be assisting in the effort to secure housing and care for the overflow of unaccompanied children likely only encourages parents of such children to take the risk and send them across the border alone.

FEMA’s expertise goes beyond merely providing housing — FEMA’s mission involves providing food, shelter, and the necessities of life for victims of natural disasters. Involving FEMA and HHS in the process — rather than taking aggressive steps to close the border or compel Mexico and Central American countries to stem the flow of illegal migrants — creates a situation where these children are going to become temporary “wards” of the federal government unless family members in the United States step forward to take them in. Since the federal government is not equipped for long-term arrangements in this regard, the burden is going to fall to the states where these children are housed to care for them on a long-term basis.

The next time Jen Psaki denies there’s a crisis on the border, someone should remind her that the “E” in FEMA stands for “Emergency.”

Push them right back across the border. That’s where their parents are. They can meet in Mexico.

This is a disaster that was orchestrated by the Democrat Party. They did everything possible to encourage and to fund individuals to come north to cross the border. And they sent their own children, as cannon fodder for the Democrats political purposes. These children will be placed in homes, never to see their parents again. As in the Obama administration that “lost” thousands of children and were later blames on Trump, Biden will do the same, lose them and the parents who sacrificed their own children will never know what happened to them. One could say this is human trafficking. Makes one wonder where they really went

Traitorjoe directs FEMA to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Another charge to add to his trial for treason.

Of course if there now is a real emergency, say the San Andreas or New Madrid faults busting, or one of the Pacific northwest volcanoes exploding, FEMA will be unavailable.

Of course, since these are Democrats we’re talking about, they are likely just planning to shovel money into the pockets of their cronies again, and screw the little kids.

Making it very easy for illegals to squat here, all the while I, who has paid taxes for 50 years, battle getting disability for an adult daughter. Something’s wrong with this picture.

The people of the US should have expected a national disaster when they “elected” a demented half wit to run the country.

This is another move by the Regime to assure the spread of disease and destruction into the interior. Fauci is threatening an Italian like shutdown if we relax mask and other restrictions too soon while he is part of the criminal gang importing the diseased to assure more infections.

A Biden-caused disaster for sure, but there is nothing natural about what is happening at our southern border.

BIDEN DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS
Insider Reports from the border indicate a crisis is looming....high numbers of border crossings expected to continue for months.
ICE has asked officers to deploy as soon as this weekend. A record number of unaccompanied minors have also arrived.

Internal memos show 3,500 children at the border, in addition 8,500 already housed here, in HHS shelters, awaiting placement.
Not only did the Biden administration allow children to sleep on the floor in “cages” the Obama
administration built, Biden is also blocking lawyers from examining these inhumane conditions.

SOURCE Human Trafficking,and violent drug cartels' "Parallel Government' at the Border"
pjmedia.com ^ | 3/12/2021 | STACEY LENNOX / FR Posted by bitt
Migrants say that the Biden administration said to come, and they have come. Throughout his campaign,
Biden said that if people crossover, they’re going to be let in......Biden put out a welcome mat to folks all over the world.

People have been traveling to South America from China and Africa for 9-10 months to come here. There's more
“Special Interest Aliens” (SIAs) than ever.....the term is a designation for migrant countries with a terrorism nexus.

There are already large numbers of SIAs hitting the Darien Gap, a break in the Pan-American Highway in southern Panama.

As the misbegotten Biden policy causes skyrocketing number of migrants, it is easier for SIA's and drug cartels to go undetected.....able to easily stroll into the US.

===============================

AND THIS Thanks to Biden's vaunted "humaneness".....drug cartels, traffickers, dealers, violent depraved lowlifes,
made a quantum leap from organized crime into what is now a cartel-controlled parallel government at the US border.

Biden is a potent mix; stupid beyond mere ignorance, demented and incompetent; Biden's "humaneness" for foreigners
puts all Americans and their families in eminent danger. This piece of Democrat crud is a disaster waiting to happen.
All the simpleton has to do is totter up to a teleprompter, mouth-off worn-out Democrat platitudes and all hell breaks loose.

It is not enough to open the border. The US has to start a concierge service to help criminals.
