Pirate's Cove

Why are so many coming? Because with Joe in the White House and Democrats controlling both the Senate and House (thanks, Never Trumpers), all these migrants think they will all be given free citizenship in the U.S. Meanwhile, homeless Americans, including military veterans, have to fend for themselves

Biden administration prepares to activate 2 military sites in Texas for migrant children

The Biden administration is setting up two more emergency intake sites that combined will provide more than 5,000 beds to accommodate migrant children crossing the US-Mexico border alone.

It’s the latest move by the administration to try to alleviate overcrowding in Border Patrol facilities and transfer unaccompanied minors who have been held in those facilities, akin to jail-like conditions, for prolonged periods.

The Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with the Defense Department to use property on Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas, and Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, with the potential capacity to accommodate up to 5,000 beds and around 350 beds, respectively.

On Wednesday, the Defense Department announced it had approved a request from HHS to temporarily house unaccompanied migrant children at two military sites in Texas.

“This support will be on a fully-reimbursable basis, and will not negatively affect military training, operations, readiness, or other military requirements, including National Guard and Reserve readiness. HHS will maintain custody and responsibility for the well-being and support for these children at all times on the installation,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

HHS oversees an expansive shelter network where those children are placed until they can be relocated with sponsors, like parents or relatives, in the United States. But amid Covid-19 constraints and the accelerated pace of arrivals, the administration has struggled to move unaccompanied children out of border facilities designed for adults into HHS care within the 72-hour legal limit.

If they’re unaccompanied, how are they going to be placed with their parents, who wouldn’t be in the country? Does this mean that China Joe will allow the parents into the U.S. in order to take care of the kids? The same parents that sent their minor children on a long, dangerous trek to the U.S.? Or, will they be sent back to their parents? I think we all know the answer, and China Joe isn’t going to send anyone away, prioritizing foreigners over U.S. citizens.

Meanwhile, Joe put Kamala in charge of the border, because, apparently, Joe isn’t capable of doing his job

(Breitbart) President Joe Biden announced Wednesday his plan to put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the migrant crisis on the southern border.

”I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this,” Biden said after making the announcement at the White House.

Biden shifted the responsibility for the crisis to his vice president as it threatens to overshadow his achievements in fighting the coronavirus and his massive $1.9 trillion spending package. He delegated full power to her team.

“When she speaks, she speaks for me,” Biden said. “Doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she’s doing and I hope we can move this along.” (snip)

Harris said she would also work with members of Congress to address the problem.

There’s no need to work with Congress. Congress has already passed laws that state that aliens should, in almost ever case, be removed from the nation if even let in temporarily. If they actually crossed the border illegally, then deported. Period.
