    9 questions about the humanitarian crisis on the border, answered
    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...an-border-crisis-biden-unaccompanied-children

    Your first reaction is going to be, "Vox, what a joke." Rather than reflexively dismissing the source, refute.......factually......what they report. Maybe you'll learn something along the way. Like sources reporting info you don't like are easy to dismiss but much harder to refute.

    I was going to try and address them, but that would require supporting vox with click traffic... so now I can't. You could quote the questions...?

    ...tho perhaps Im not your target demographic, being pro-Trump and anti-GOP...

    Whew! I'm glad there is no problem at the border. That stream of future voters is moving through at an amazing clip thanks to the efficiency of the border patrol.

    C'mon man, everybody knows this recent crises on the border is because we have a new kindler, gentler president now. They're testing him to see if he's a true bed wetting liberal or not.

    The first sentence of this article:
    No the southern border is being NEGLECTED by an administration that begins from the position that US citizens have no more right to their country or their tax-dollars than does the rest of the world. There's the framing, plain and simple, and you tout this as irrefutable journalism.

    A more truthful news media would begin by acknowledging that:

    The border in a nutshell according to Biden.

    There is no crisis at the border, but if there is a crisis, it is Trump's fault.

    Do you kick puppies and have a short memory or are the memory issues only on political issues? I'm sure a forum search could turn up some real gems on your comments about holding facilities under Trump.

    The Q and A's are too long to copy and paste. If you want to intelligently comment on the thread read the article.

    Trump sought to keep migrants out and prevent them from being released into the US at any cost — including separating more than 5,000 families who arrived on the border starting in the spring of 2018.

    In trying to accomplish that goal he held children in chain-linked structures referred to as cages. His admin's incompetence in carrying out his family separation policy lead to over 600 kids still not having been reunited with their parents.

    No and it seems I read further into that fallacious summary of events than did you.

    Dude you're trying to make Vox out to be accurate objective journalism. It's yellow tabloid entertainment and you think it hits the nail, maybe because you haven't spent a minute in the south so you actually believe these outlets who knows

    And you think Biden does not have them behind chain link or seperate families? At least Trump sent the message not to come here. So....do you kick puppies? Kittens too?

    From your own source, where is the fauxrage now???????

    In recent weeks, there have been reports of children in the facilities sleeping on gym mats with nothing but mylar blankets to keep them warm and not being permitted to go outside or take a shower for days at a time. The Biden administration has so far prevented the media from touring the facilities, which would offer better insight into the conditions.

    Your boy has turned an Obama-created problem at the border, which Trump had under control and was rapidly solving- into a total disaster, and has done that intentionally, ignorantly, and with total disregard for the people of this nation he is sworn to serve.

    Today they sent out requests for other government departments to loan people to help control the crisis which doesn't exist and is getting worse fast. I've never heard of such a thing in my life.
    When you put truly stupid people in charge of something way beyond their limitations- that's what you get. The only people with less going for them is those who refuse to recognize it.

    Everything you bitched about and accused Trump of on the border issues is now actually being done intentionally by Biden's administration. The MSM is denying it, the administration is denying it.
    The reports of "crisis" have been dealt with by- excluding the reporters. Reporters have been going to Mexico, trying to document what is happening from the other side- but they can't see what's going on the the detention centers, which are at 5-9 times capacity. Illegals are being released into our country WITHOUT covid tests, and without court dates when they must appear.
    The Border- is effectively non-existent now.

    Members of congress have toured facilities over the objections of the administration and THEY have been asked not to take videos and to delete any photos they have taken.
    This F-ing administration is hiding their incredible disaster even from congress. The incompetence here is mind-boggling, they have no idea what to do, and absolutely no courage to admit it.
    Just imagine what you would be saying if Trump was still president and this was happening.

    I'm sure you are proud of them, they are indeed setting records, establishing precedent and doing damage that will plague us for decades.
    It's aclown circus- and the border is just one ring of many where the clowns are pretending to be leaders, and botching the job for our amusement.... But it's NOT funny.

    Did nobody explain to you the purpose of the "path to citizenship?"

    Maybe the border states may finally have to band together and declare "states of emergency", tell the Feds to stick it where the Sun don't shine and deal with what is clearly a foreign invasion of THEIR sovereignty by any means they deem necessary.....talk about what could explode as a "constitutional crisis"....

    I actually lived through it with my mother who was naturalized. What does the process have to do with anything. The problem is that citizenship isn't available to illegal aliens so a law needs to be passed. That is the "path to citizenship."

    I think the goal of the op is to drive clicks to vox. The op is like an advertisement.

    If the op wanted people to answer the 9 questions, he would post them here... but that doesn't create traffic to their site, does it...

    I quickly dismiss factual inaccuracies no matter what the source is.
