      XPost: alt.law-enforcement, sac.politics, misc.immigration.usa       XPost: alt.politics.trump, talk.politics.guns, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2021/02/24/white-house-defends-kids-in-containers-as-       aoc-cites-hypocrisy/              White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday was forced to again       fend off questions about how the Biden administration’s detention camps       for child immigrants differ from those that Democrats including President       Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris decried during the Trump       administration.              Psaki was asked how she felt about the widely adopted term “kids in       containers” — as opposed to the Trump-era Democratic accusation of “kids       in cages” — for the Biden administration centers while saying she couldn’t       comment on progressive Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rebuking the       reopening of the detention facilities.              “I think the difficulty is, I haven’t seen the full context of the quote       or interview — of the tweet that was, that she shared,” Psaki said of the       New York Democrat’s criticism.              Ocasio-Cortez, an influential figure among the Democratic Party’s left       wing, said that the Biden administration was wrong to reopen a detention       center in Carrizo Springs, Texas, along with a similar center in       Homestead, Fla., that Vice President Kamala Harris protested in 2019 when       it was managed by the Trump administration.              Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday: “This is not okay, never has been okay,       never will be okay – no matter the administration or party.”              AOC added: “It’s only 2 mos into this admin & our fraught, unjust       immigration system will not transform in that time. That’s why bold       reimagination is so impt. DHS shouldn’t exist, agencies should be       reorganized, ICE gotta go, ban for-profit detention, create climate       refugee status & more.”              But Psaki said Wednesday that it was essential to open the facilities       because “we only have a couple of choices.”              She side-stepped a reporter’s question about whether she would accept the       term “kids in containers” in a nod to pods set up in Carrizo Springs.              “We have a number of unaccompanied minors children who are coming into the       country without their families,” Psaki said. “We have a couple of options:       We can send them back home and due a dangerous journey back we’re not       doing that either — that is also putting them at risk. We can quickly       transfer them from CBP to these HHS run facilities — that’s one option. Or       we can put them with families and sponsors without any vetting,” she said.              “We’ve chosen the middle option…. We had to expand and open additional       facilities, because there was not enough space in the existing       facilities.”              Psaki said that only unaccompanied children will be placed in the       detention centers and that children won’t be separated from parents if       they arrive at the US border as a family unit. That was done under former       Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting all       adults who illegally cross the border.              Democrats blasted former President Donald Trump’s administration for       placing “kids in cages,” but the White House denies doing essentially the       same thing. Psaki said Tuesday that the camps are opening to ensure proper       spacing during the COVID-19 pandemic.                            --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
