   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.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
