Biden reportedly lashed out at Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra over his department’s handling of migrant children -- amid broader reported tensions between the White House and HHS.
Biden "lashed out" at Becerra in a March 30 Oval Office meeting when Becerra allegedly failed to have answers for questions about the agency’s ability to take care of migrant kids, according to The New York Times.
The Biden administration has been facing a dramatic surge in migrants at the border -- particularly unaccompanied children, who the Biden administration is not removing via Title 42 public health protections that are being used to remove some families and single adults.
The numbers of unaccompanied children have decreased slightly in April from the sky-high numbers in March and Border Patrol facilities have been emptied. But the migrants have been moved to HHS facilities instead, where numbers have ballooned.
There are currently more than 20,000 migrants in HHS custody, up from just under 12,000 at the end of March. The Associated Press reported that migrants are being housed at more than 200 sites in multiple states.
Facing such a historic influx of child migrants, the majority of which are going to be "reunited" with sponsors already in the country, Becerra has reportedly been urging a cautious line, despite his past as someone who pushed left-wing policies on immigration.
Politico reported that the White House has "bristled" at Becerra’s approach as they push HHS to speed up the intake of the tens of thousands of migrant children. Separately, sources told the outlet that he is seen as indecisive and too slow to seize the situation
Becerra, meanwhile, has reportedly been frustrated by the White House moves to drop immigration restrictions and policies before he was confirmed, the outlet said.

VP Ho refuses to even go there. It’s quite astonishing she flips the bird to fidiot Joe.
Biden is taking a hit over the border.
This is the NY Slimes creating a 2 month old story to buy Biden cover and throw Bercerra under the bus.
The midterm election should be run on 5 or 6 failures by this corrupt gang of B-team leftovers from the Nobama era (which itself was C-team by 2008 standards) and 40 Rat seats flipping should be the baseline.

The Biden administration? What about America and American citizens, you dolt?
Plant story by Democrat propaganda agents.
How many of them will be sent to brothels? How many others have already been sent to brothels?
Their movement is controlled by the Cartels.
Pretty much. This incoherent press release is supposed to make the administration look good.
The NYT is tone deaf.
Leaders lead. They make decisions, they take responsibility, and they act.
Losers in the big seat blame those in the little seats.
This is loser behavior. There is nothing flattering about this nor will it be helpful to Biden. The public correctly sees that it is Biden’s policy and agenda that has created the mess on the Southern border.
Do you think the public will blame Becerra? Of course not. How does Biden win any points by blaming someone the American people do not even know?
Take the L Joe. You earned it. The more articles like this that come out the smaller you look.
Becerra allegedly failed to have answers for questions.
Why Joe so mad he’s just following his bosses style.
It's a safe bet that Biden will not fix this crisis he created.
It's a safe bet the GOP will run on it and the horrible economy as THE issues in 2022
It's a safe bet that if they take the house and Senate their only action will be excuses for why they can't do anything.
I bet he’s wishing he’d never left that cushy AG job in CA now. LOL
Never thought I’d see him actually be prosecuted for his role in the Awan Bros IT scandal (still unresolved), but watching squirm as the ‘fall guy’ for Harris/Biden policy failures is moderately satisfactory in the absence of justice.
