Joe Biden is finding out that reality bites when it comes to illegal immigration. While Biden frequently criticized Trump’s immigration policy as “inhumane” and “un-American,” the numbers of people trying to get in to the United States, one way or another, have skyrocketed since Biden took office.
“We’re seeing the highest February numbers that we’ve ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program,” a Health and Human Services official told Axios.
And it’s only going to get worse. Customs and Border Patrol has briefed the White House on the grim prospect that as many as 13,000 unaccompanied alien children will arrive by May. With facilities already at the breaking point, that will mean that the government will need someplace to put these kids. It’s probable that Trump’s “kids in cages” is going to be a reality for Joe Biden, as well.
HHS is working with the Pentagon on securing space on military bases, where overflows of migrants were housed in tent-like structures during 2014 and 2019, the report said.
One aim expressed by Jonathan White, a top HHS career official, was preventing migrant kids from waiting out their immigration claims in unfit CBP holding cells
CBP warned top administration officials of the peak May numbers during a telephone meeting on Thursday involving senior-level officials with HHS, Homeland Security and the State Department, Axios said.
Federal law requires that official hold the kids for no longer than 48 hours in detention before handing them over to HHS where they are housed in facilities or handed off to charitable groups where they live until they get a hearing. The fact that officials are looking into sending overflows to military bases means that HHS is already full up or getting very close.

You are drunk again, and so early in the day.......
Dude, I’m at work. If I so much as drink black coffee I’m canned.
What are the chances that we soon see tens of thousands of adults claiming the children and the cameras are right there to show the heart grabbing moment that they are reunited only to stay in the USA....illegally? Children dont travel hundreds of miles by foot, on top of rail cars, etc.. without adult help! Ever!
With much effort due to all the roadblocks thrown in his way, President Trump got all this calmed down. I don’t know if the U.S. can survive 4 years of Biden/Harris until a real conservative wins in 2024.
I don't think I would have danced that close to the edge on day one, but he's within the scope of the agreement.
the only way he's gonna be able to avoid blowing it is if someone steals the B key off his keyboard.
Bring out the A-10s.
And with them, the spreading of diseases galore, infecting millions of innocent US citizens of the Middle and Lower classes( While the TRITOR Upper class leftists that planned all this, will be unaffected by any of it ).
