The very policy Vice President Harris is trying to RE-establish is the foreign policy that worked with the Northern Triad before Trump defunded it. He defunded the policies that addressed the problems the countries had and illegal immigration to the USA Southern Border went through the roof.
2019 saw the highest illegal immigration in history. Trump's approach was to treat the immigrants as criminals and housing them like animals. The Biden Administration is looking at the root causes of the illegal immigrants at the border. That is why Vice President Harris' approach in returning to sound policy will work to reduce immigration.
The one issue affecting the larger numbers at the border since the Biden Administration is the pandemic and the fact the USA had the highest number of vaccines to reduce the highest global incidence of infection and deaths. The largest population group at the USA southern border allowed into the country are unaccompanied AND abandoned children. The drug cartels and terrified parents are the reason. However, Vice President Harris has begun to address the child migrant crisis and the number of children held at the border has reduced.
May 5, 2021
The number of unaccompanied migrant children (click here) being kept in cramped government-detention facilities on the US southern border with Mexico has fallen sharply, after a 20-year high influx of border crossings led to overcrowding.
The massive influx of children left US immigration officials scrambling earlier this year for facilities to house the children.
The number of children being held in by US Customs and Border Protection (CPB) has dropped 88% between late March and late April, according to government officials.
The decrease comes as a task force set up by President Joe Biden begins to reunite families that were separated under his predecessor Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy.
Mr Biden has urged migrants not to attempt to travel to the US border - "Don't leave your town or city or community," he has said - but with Mr Trump out of office, some believe immigration to the US is now more possible....
There isn't much hate to find at the USA southern border anymore. What has resulted instead of hate is a pragmatic approach to end the crisis. When a country south of the USA is experiencing mass emigration there needs to be a solution to end the exodus. That is what Vice President Harris is doing in the Northern Triad and Mexico. Obviously, she is right in that the administration has sent their people to the southern border and the circumstances now have to be addressed within the countries in crisis.
The children being accepted into the USA are here temporarily unless an American adopts them. The USA Supreme Court made it completely clear that people in crisis finding refuge in the USA are not here permanently. Some of the people that come to the USA due to a crisis in their homeland do stay after achieving a working status and use other means of immigration to qualify. They are not granted permanent citizen status simply because their homeland is in crisis and "Gee that is terrible."
The immigration issue must be addressed in legislation in Congress. That is the story and not the fact the Vice President is in the Northern Triad rather than at the USA southern border. The crisis of the children at the USA southern border is solved and there are minimal number housed there. The humanitarian crisis is addressed and now the Vice President is addressing the underlying causes. Questions?
I guess Vice President Harris is NOT a "Photo Op" politician.
So, here is the process.
l. Solve the crisis at the southern border.
2. Advocate for immigration reform in the legislature.
3. Address the crisis within the countries where immigrants are coming from so the migration will end and lives are not in danger to "attempt to make it to the USA." The travel through those countries is dangerous and should not be attempted.
Got it?
Not very sensational even for a photo op.
Where FOX News goes, so many other news agencies follow thinking that FOX is all that. Well, FOX News is only good for one thing and one thing only; fear-mongering facilitated by hate. I dare anyone to say otherwise.
The rest of the media that are like sheep over a cliff need to practice journalism and not sensationalism.
