    How was she arrogant or nasty?

    I don't know what the rest of your post has to do with this topic.

    Yes she diverted to Trump and didn't answer the question and they are still denying it's a crisis down there.

    How is it a diversion when the reporter said his name?

    "Nasty" was one of Trump's favorite words for reporters who asked questions he didn't like, especially women reporters. Now, with the tables turned, the female press secretary is "nasty" when she gives answers Trumpers don't like.

    I think the reporter was asking what Biden was going to do about it. Trump had surges but he also had policies and plans in place to try to deal with them and he was also building a wall.

    She did NOT give any answer. That is the problem.

    She demanded to know who mentioned the surges and then ranted about Trump and left it at that.

    Her answer to the question would probably have been fine IF she actually had one.

    This is not hard. The Biden campaign / regime spent months blaming Trump for the family separation that belongs to the Flores consent decree, an artifact of progressive judges issued during the Clinton regime, and the Obama-Biden policy of caging illegal immigrant children. Her reaction to the suggestion that she talk to the Trump people who solved the problem was clearly out of embarrassment that the Biden regime has created a disaster out of the Trump solution to the problem he inherited from her peeps. I would be embarrassed too if I were in her shoes.

    So, English isn't your first language?
    Psaki: We don't take our advice, our counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy which was not only inhumane but ineffective over the last four years. We are going to chart our own path forward and that includes treating children with humanity and respect and ensuring they're safe when they cross our borders.
    My response was right on target. Her nasty reply implies that the inhumane conditions that Schumer compared to concentration camps resulted from Trump policies when they are owned by Clinton and OBiden and were solved by Trump. Specifically, Obiden's open borders already killed illegals. We know about the deaths Obiden caused on our soil, not those that Obiden caused by encouraging people to make a dangerous journey --- starting before the 2020 election --- expecting a Biden win.

    International norms would have refugees from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador apply for asylum in Mexico. Trump did the next best thing: had applicant families wait in Mexico for their cases to be adjudicated, so Clinton's Flores consent decree would not separate families in the US.

    If, like OBiden, you don't know what's going on around you, why are you here?

    Not according to the OP.

    The wall is a well known failure as a direction for limiting arrival.

    Please read the fully bipartisan immigration reform bill of 2013.

    This supports exactly what I said.

    Remember that I cited the January Border Patrol report.

    And, anyone can look up how the crossings have been increasing substantially month on month for the last many months.

    I see absolutely NO justification for accepting that reporter's premise concerning immigration.

    I'd also point out that:

    - The Obama administration presided over the first ever growth of our undocumented population in modern history.

    - Data shows that the majority of those here without documentation and with intent to stay did NOT come across by methods addressed by ANY wall proposal, no matter how aggressive.

    - the majority of contraband including drugs that is shipped across our border with Mexico goes through the regulated entrypoints, not by methods addressed by more wall.

    We need a comprehensive immigration reform that addresses real issues - not one created for show, not one done as a piecemeal collection of disjoint assaults on minorities.

    Just on CBS news. Children immigration now up 28%... the reason? The belief the Biden administration is weak on securing the border.

    How is this deniable?

    Why are you moving the goal posts in the name of facts?

    Who is talking about the wall and contraband?

    The point is, when administrations are weak on immigration policy, you get more of it. Truth in facts.

    The data isn't deniable, at least it it is coming from a reliable source.

    What the reporter was presenting as the foundation for his comment was absolutely NOT in evidence.

    That's why Psaki ask what the reporter was basing his/her question on.

    As I've pointed out over and over again, the JANUARY border patrol report states that the number of illegal arrivals has been increasing for many months and that one of the reasons is misperceptions concerning US immigration enforcement policy changes.

    Yet YOU want to blame that on Biden - who hadn't been in office for more than 10 days of the report period!!!

    You're just trolling for feces to hurl.

    First of all, you are totally ignoring the full trend of what's going on.

    And, that's grossly irresponsible - making it impossible to believe YOU as a source of ANYTHING.

    Second of all, the post I referred to opened the issue of the wall. And, I responded to that. Do you have some sort of problem with that???

    I mentioned the wall which now will never be completed so I guess we will never find out how effective it would have been.

    Trump had absolutely NO way possible for "completing" that wall. That's a total joke.

    More importantly, there is no evidence even if it were to be "completed" it wouldn't address how more than half come here and stay without documents.

    So, suggesting it would "work" is just ridiculous, especially when one considers the other avenues into America.

    Again, read the bipartisan immigration reform bill of 2013 that passed the Senate (with Rubio's help) and would have passed the House had Republican Speaker Boehner not blocked it.

    Attacking immigration issues piecemeal is just plain stupid. We have to have a solution that has the various parts working together.
