We know that America’s problems were supposed to be solved as soon as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn into office, but things don’t seem to be going according to plan.
Take illegal immigration, for instance. When Donald Trump was president, it was so out-of-control that migrant children were being kept in cages at detention facilities. OK, so technically that stuff really got going under President Barack Obama, but nobody cared about it at the time so it didn’t really count.
Anyway, it appears that the Biden administration is struggling right now with how to handle unaccompanied migrant children:
New from me: The Biden team is struggling to deal with a rise in unaccompanied migrant children in their custody. As of Friday, HHS shelters were at 93% capacity, and more than 700 children had backed up in border patrol custody https://t.co/DAGZBKt39A

First of all:
Oh. So now they're "shelters". https://t.co/NKKCZ4xZWS

“Shelters”

So we aren't calling them concentration camps anymore?

Guess not!
Thank God they're NOT in cages! They're in Child and Adolescent Gated Enclosed Structures.

Oh it’s “custody” now not “cages" https://t.co/XMac5Vq8Fl

Well, there’s a big (D)ifference between “custody” and “cages,” Neil.
Which also explains why we’re not seeing professionally photographed scenes of Democratic lawmakers wondering why no one will think of the children.
Where is AOC? Shouldn’t she be outside screaming at the parking lot?

Maybe if AOC can just raise some awareness or something …
If only we had a president and vice president who campaigned on how terrible kids in cages was! They'd do something about this!

And we had such high hopes for the Biden administration.
Y'all may want to stop covering the president as if he is new to all this. He literally ran on knowing what he is doing. Clearly not the case. https://t.co/X88FlnaBvO
