Good thing we have a press that is going to press the Biden administration for answers, eh?
White House says it’s ‘surging’ resources to Texas to address migrant influx but offers no details
The Biden administration says it is “surging” resources to El Paso, where migrants with nowhere else to go are sleeping in the streets while they scrape together bus money or await immigration proceedings.
Pressed to say what the administration is doing to help migrants, with homeless shelters mostly overwhelmed in Texas’ sixth-largest city, the White House did not elaborate and deferred to the Department of Homeland Security, which did not respond to request for comment.
“They’ve been surging resources to the region and working to quickly decompress the area,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
Migrants not immediately expelled are screened and processed to have their asylum claims heard by immigration judges in removal proceedings, Jean-Pierre said.
Jean-Pierre should have been pressed to answer exactly what the Biden admin is doing. If your friend made a dubious claim, you’d press them, would you not? Or your kids? A coworker or subordinate? But, the media just lets it go, probably sent an email over to Homeland, then moved on. Nor did they ask how many are being allowed to hang in the U.S. vs immediate deportation. Nor should any be allowed to simply roam free and clear till their asylum claim hearing, which most will not qualify for.
Border Patrol Chief in El Paso addresses migrant concerns from law enforcement, lawmakers
…
El Paso Sector Border Patrol Chief, Gloria Chavez, said agents didn’t release any migrants into the streets.
Chavez said the Border Patrol is making changes to the way it’s handing this latest surge while they deal with a harsh reality.
“As the chief of the Border Patrol in this region, I don’t want to release people into the community. That is something that is not ok with us,” Chavez said. “The reality is that my central processing center is at capacity. I am holding right now, 2,700 people in a facility that is authorize to hold 1,040.
She explained the overflow lot is holding 500 people who are waiting to be processed at the moment.
Still no Kamala at the border to view an area overrun with migrants
During the intake, agents review fingerprints, photograph migrants for biometrics.
“We want to know who they are. If we have any criminals within these groups coming in, they are not going to be released into that community,” Chavez said.
Released? Why not immediately deported?
Congressman Tony Gonzales, who represents a portion of El Paso, shared his concerns about the surge.
“Right now, the Border Patrol is getting about 1,300 migrants a day and the city of El Paso is getting further behind,” Gonzales said.
Yet, Martha’s Vineyard declared an emergency over 50
Gonzales said a handful of Border Patrol agents are able to patrol the border due to the time spent processing migrants.
“On any shift, in El Paso, you have about eight Border Patrol agents in the field. Everyone else is processing. Essentially, there is nobody out in the field to cover this. Meanwhile there is no end in sight,” Gonzales said.
Does that look like a surge?
Hey, Sponge Brain Shit Pants:
FINISH THE FUKIN WALL!!!!
You’ve unlawfully permitted over 5 million filthy illegals in so far this year. That’s an impeachable offense. (Like that could happen).
Weird how Democrats control congress and the White House yet have never passed, nor even debated, “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.
Maybe because it’s not about anything but changing America brown and getting rid of us “cruel” White people.
FJB and MAGA
Lucas,
When the nuGOP takes the House, their first order of business will be to impeach Brandon. Duh.
What would Comprehensive Immigration Reform look like to you?
The Senate Gang of Eight (Dems and RINOs) passed a Senate bill in 2013, but of course it didn’t get out of Speaker Boehner’s GOP House. And today’s nuGOPs are even more resistant. Any hope of immigration reform dies with the coming nuGOP hurricane in Congress. And President Brandon will not sign any nuGOP cruelties, e.g., if you cross with a brown child we will kill the child in front of you… tell all your illegal friends! If you cross alone, we will kill you in front of the others!
Dear Elwood:
I have a reform plan.
Enter illegally and we catch you and send you back,
James,
Actually my plan is much more simple. Make it against the law for them to receive social services, can not get food, can not get housing, etc. When conditions become intolerable they will walk back.
Mr Lewis typed: Enter illegally and we catch you and send you back
That’s the current plan! We have thousands of migrants, exiles, refugees showing up legally whose cases must be adjudicated according to the law. If Congress could get their shit together we could get reasonable and useful laws. That’s the rub.
Bullshit Elwood. If that were the case we would have had 5 million illegals yearly under Trump. It’s all a lie…as usual.
Dear Elwood:
Under my plan there would be no “catch and release” of illegals.
CA,
It’s makes ignorance easier if you just ignore facts.
Do you kiss your kids with that filthy mouth?
Jeff,
We have laws. FJB and the wet backs don’t follow them.
Brandon,
Is that why you hate Hispanics? You’re afraid they’ll vote?
BTW, most Hispanics are what you would call white.
Dowd you lying projectionist. No on ever ever stated, inferred, noted or even sounds like they “hate Hispanics”. Only the wonderful people of Martha’s Vineyard do as of my recollection. They had them run out of town by the troops. Too bad a rail, tar and feathers weren’t available for the hate fest the left just threw.
And I really don’t think all the Hispanics are gonna vote the way you think they will. BTW, do you really think we’re unaware that the vast number of Hispanics are White? Then you’re the fool (again).
Again, dowd stop projecting your racial hatred, political prejudice and religious bigotry onto others.
You really can’t be this stupid! Or maybe you can who the hell knows?
MAGA putz.
