The crisis at the border continues to accelerate, as CBS News reported Tuesday that there are now more than 13,000 unaccompanied migrant children being held in prison like cells by US authorities.
The report notes that many more are being turned back every day, and that there are now so many trying to cross the border that the US is on track this year to encounter more illegal immigration than in the past TWENTY YEARS.
The kids are being held in squalid conditions, sleeping on concrete floors without any sunlight for up to five days, according to the report, well over the legal limit of 72 hours.

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) March 17, 2021 When asked again yesterday if he has plans to go to the border, Biden replied “not at the moment”.

— The Hill (@thehill) March 16, 2021 Kamala Harris, who decried “babies in cages” during the presidential campaign, also avoided the issue telling reporters as she traveled “I haven’t been briefed on anything today about it.”
Thousands of migrant children are set to be housed at the Dallas convention center, with talk of juvenile centers also said to be being prepared:
The new revelations come as DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas announced an EXPANSION of the Central American Minors program, which he said “creates a lawful pathway for children to come to the United States without having to take the dangerous journey. Under this expansion, children will be processed in their home countries and brought to the United States in a safe and orderly way."
In other words, the Biden administration is opening the floodgates even further, which will do nothing to stem the flow of migrants who believe they can now walk into the US unhindered.
In fact it will encourage more illegal immigration.
The New York Times reported that migrants are gathering in huge numbers at the border because they expect a Biden presidency to mean they will easily be able to get across.
“Biden promised us that everything was going to change,” one of the migrants, Gladys Oneida Pérez Cruz. told The New York Times. “He hasn’t done it yet, but he is going to be a good president for migrants.”
As previously reported by CBS News, just under one month ago there were only NINE children being held in Border Patrol facilities, yet now there are over 13,000.
This is an unprecedented crisis caused directly by the undoing of President Trump’s border policies and the Biden administration either refuses to address it, or blames Trump himself.
In fact, they are putting out “leaks” that reveal their intentions to continue an open border policy, with the intention to integrate 117,000 migrant youths and children this year alone.
Trump’s fault
IF that is true, we all know: “TF*”!
*Trump’s Fault
What about disease? What are these people going to do in this country? There are tons of homeless people now.
Pallor Man Bad
This would beg questions over who is going to pay for supervising/caring of 117k ‘kids’? There’s at least twenty state which will absolutely refuse to get involved in this, and you’d have to dump them upon states like California or NY....paying them out of some federal fund...into the hundreds of millions.
In a rational world Biden would be impeached and convicted for not securing America’s borders and not enforcing the immigration laws he swore to uphold.
I’d send them back home. A high percentage are probably not kids. When you see they shave and have multiple tats it should be a pretty good indication they are not kids.
“Under this expansion, children will be processed in their home countries and brought to the United States in a safe and orderly way.”
This is insanity. Taking children from their home countries, while aborting babies in our own country, is criminal insanity.
Heard in a news report yesterday that January 1st there were 9 in custody.
It's a good start, but not nearly enough.
Its funny they know the number but won’t show video of 13k children in cages.
Check their molars...
Illegal Aliens. Not “undocumented migrants”.
Yet Trump was condemned for the same thing! The media heads should all make a pilgrimage of repentance on their knees all the way to Mar-A-Lago.
Send them home and let their parents take care of them ,Oh wait Joe plans to invite all their family members to the US with Free Everything
Epstein didn’t kill himself ... for no reason..................
You must be kidding! They will praise Biden for his humanitarian actions in this instance!................
You know it’s getting bad when the MSM says something like this about Slow Joe and his border policy. I expect a few heads might roll at CBS as they try and get the lemmings back in line.
