Even Fox is being pretty perfunctory about it these days, what with Dr. Seuss. Mr. Potato Head, the infamous dandelion, and now Snow White to be outraged about.
This is pretty much gravedigging a dead thread, but I’ll do some posting
First of all, the story was not true. The actual problem being addressed was that in the course of building Trump’s border wall, engineers had to dig out existing water control systems — which are now left exposed. Local officials have sounded the alarm on this complication, and so the federal government has set to restoring those levees before the seasonal floods begin again.
…
Melugin later deleted a tweet claiming that border wall construction had been restarted, following clarification from the Army Corps of Engineers that this was simply the rebuilding of water levees. No new border wall is actually being constructed.
Whew! Thank god! I mean, who cares, but whew!
At least 16 migrants have been killed in accidents near the border since March. Although there aren’t comparable historical statistics, aid groups say the number has been particularly high this year.
Most migrants opting for the most extreme and dangerous crossing routes are single adults trying to avoid detection, unlike asylum-seeking families and children traveling on their own who are often released into the U.S. after they surrender to federal agents.
There were just over 108,000 apprehensions of single adults crossing the border in April, compared with nearly 15,000 in the same month a year ago.
Adults trying to sneak past the Border Patrol aren’t new, nor are deaths among migrants trying to illegally enter the U.S. But the border officials and aid groups say they are seeing more risky behavior and extreme strategies than they have in prior years.
BUt that’s cool, Mike. YOu GO GET them fake foxie newz stories!!! 
Well, even though you support the wall, you at least agree that the Fox News reports about the wall still being built are fake foxie newz stories !!!. We can both agree Fox is bullshit!
You show me where I’ve ever said that. Just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I hold opposite opinions.
In the same way that CNN and MSNBC and regular old NBC and CBS are click generator fake news sites…sure.
The Guatemalan president said he and Harris “are not on the same side of the coin” on migration.
“We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said.
When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”
“I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” Harris said during a press conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei Monday. "Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border."
Sher. Just like this:
Unauthorized US-Mexico Border Crossings Reached 20-Year High in April
U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s enforcement data for April showed undocumented migration at a 20-year high. The agency reported 178,622 migrants apprehended for the month. Of those, 111,714 were expelled from the country under a pandemic-related emergency health order blocking most migrants from pursuing asylum claims or other forms of relief in the United States.
Border apprehensions in April were 3% higher than March’s total of 173,348 and significantly higher than the February total of 101,120.
Ouch. BUt well, yeah. Duh
In other immigration news, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled yesterday that the government can block immigrants with temporary protected status from applying for green cards if they entered the country unlawfully. The decision could also have implications for Dreamers unless Congress paves a permanent lawful status for those undocumented immigrants brought to the US as kids, one expert said. The high court also agreed to take up a case next term brought by three Muslim men who seek to challenge the FBI over its surveillance of their mosque. Additionally, the justices declined for now to take up a challenge to the male-only registration requirement for the military draft – meaning that even though the draft is not implemented, only men will still be required to register for the selective service.
At a press conference in Guatemala City on Monday, Harris told Guatemalans thinking of trying to enter the US to stay home, saying, “Do not come.”
Later on Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said of Harris’ speech, “This is disappointing to see.”
“First, seeking asylum at any US border is a 100% legal method of arrival,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“Second, the US spent decades contributing to regime change and destabilization in Latin America. We can’t help set someone’s house on fire and then blame them for fleeing,” she continued.
Haven’t we given them enough money to build a firehouse or two?
Photo op time!
I have accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.
The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history. It’s an unmitigated disaster zone.
We went from detain-and-remove to catch-and-release. We went from having border security that was the envy of the world to a lawless border that is now pitied around the world. Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes. Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign. Hospitals and schools are getting crushed and public health is being sacrificed all in service of a radical left anti-borders agenda. Our brave border agents and courageous ICE officers have been illegally stopped from doing their jobs. Our Nation is now one giant sanctuary city where even dangerous criminals are being cut loose and set free inside the U.S interior on a daily basis.
If this weren’t bad enough, Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible.
What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty.
My visit will hopefully shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.
Must be safe now…families are back…bigly.
Surely the anti-MAGA bashers on this site will see the danger in allowing 190K presumably untested and unvaccinated humans to just come on in, sign a few documents and then be released into the wilds of American society.
But probably not.
Walk across the border, welcome.
Listen, give them work permits. The restaurant and hotel industries are failing.
Wonder how many end up in Delaware.
Send in Al!
And so this just happened.
Nothing to see here. Just covid, injected into America, like bleach.
So, have we figured out the ahem, root causes, yet? No? Well, at least the vile Trump program has been minimalized. Wait, what? No? Expanded?
But by reimplementing the program in the meantime with relatively few changes, the Biden administration has disappointed some Democrats, migrant advocates and even asylum officers tasked with screening people subject to the program. They have argued that the program is itself illegal and shirks the US’s obligation under federal and international law not to return migrants to danger.
Immigration advocates are also angered by the fact that Biden isn’t just reinstating MPP; he’s broadening its scale. Now, all other citizens of countries in the Western Hemisphere can be sent back under the program, which previously only covered Spanish speakers.
The administration isn’t doing so because the court ordered it to — that wasn’t part of the court’s instructions — and it hasn’t explained why it’s expanding the program, and did not respond to a request for comment on Friday. That leaves room for doubt about its commitment to ensuring the safety of migrants who will suffer from keeping MPP in place.
“We categorically reject the Biden administration’s claims that it can administer the Remain in Mexico program in a more humane manner,” Jorge Loweree, policy director at the American Immigration Council, said in a statement. “The longer the administration delays terminating this unlawful and cruel policy, the more people will suffer.”
Imma go with SOO many unvaxed, ahem, migrants, were released and transported across the country that it’s impossible to hide the numbers anymore and it’s only a year before the public needs to digest, process, poop out and forget the news.
Looks like the border is still a mess. They’re in, we’re keeping them out, now they’re on chartered flights and no one likes Border Security.
