Nothing like a liberal in an unguarded moment. This was, of course, my point: You can't trust them on immigration. They will lie to you, or they don't know what they are talking about. Either way, you can't trust them.
it will answer the large majority of issues you say you are concerned about...so, it is in your interest to watch all of it, and it will save all of us from having to debate easily resolved contentions.
Looking forward to your feedback and comments...after you watch the entire video.

No one can trust you guys on illegal immigration. Thanks again.
lacking those...here's some of Mayorkas' briefing info...first on the numbers issue...
For July, 2021...
>212,672 Individuals apprehended and processed at our southern border...'Unique' Individuals (i.e. 'first timers') = 154,288
>95,788 expelled immediately under "Title 42" rule from CDC
>116,884 subject to "Title 8" proceedings
>YTD 'Unique Individuals = 845,307...vs. 796,400 in the same time period of 2019...a 6% increase...large numbers, but not cause for panic...can be managed.
re: COVID...
>Kids are tested before being sent to shelters
>Families are tested and isolated if necessary...working with NGOs to reimburse them for testing services, etc.
>Single Adults...vast majority are expelled immediately...those with Title 8 claims are tested
>Localities w/o NGO support are a focus of attention for HHS...more to be done, but will be fully addressed per HHS planning...needs to be 'monitored' by the press, etc.
>Positivity rates of migrants are less than, or equal to those of U.S. localities...per medical services at the border.
So...you're original posting was misleading...maybe you can make up for it with your "private statements"...
unapprehended. With none of those turned back and Covid status totally unknown and unchecked.
The surge, both apprehended and unapprehended, came because Biden advertised for it during his campaign.
He got exactly what he asked for...without the slightest concept of how (or the desire) to deal with it.
posting...along with some insight as to what the real numbers mean...and how COVID testing is employed...and how the Biden admin is dealing with the "Root Causes"...and how additional funding is being provided to make up for shortfalls caused by Trump's cancellation of much needed programs...things that somehow, Ned didn't notice.
The news is out there, waiting for you.
You are a political hack reposting political spin as if it is news. Everyone sees through that.
how many migrants are entering the U.S. each month and whether or not they are tested for COVID (from your initial post)...I responded with CBP data that showed the actual number was not 200,000, with none of them tested...but rather 95,000 immediately expelled, and 116,000 processed for possible admittance, with a large majority of them being COVID tested (localities w/o NGOs and testing capability are acknowledged and being dealt with)...not all of them will end up in the U.S...only those who, by law, can gain approval...so on that count, you were wrong both on the numbers and testing status.
The other issue is your seeming contention that the Biden administration has turned a 'well running' border protection program into an "unsustainable" situation, when that is far from the truth...because...
>The 'surge' started in mid-2020 with Trump relying totally on Title 42 expulsions, while cutting funding for any processing of legitimate petitioners (yes, do do exist...by U.S. law)...thus increasing the number of 'recidivists'...both legitimate and illegitimate...(e.g. 27% of July's 212,000 were repeats...who were likely staying just across the border, ready for another try)
>The Trump administration could see first hand in 2020 that the surge was continuing, yet made no effort to provide more facilities and staff to 'humanely' deal with those people
>The Trump administration cut or eliminated funding for already established programs in the Northern Triangle countries to either encourage their citizens to stay put, or at least process them there instead of requiring them to make the trek north...thus adding to the number of migrants 'knocking' on our door....i.e. no attempt whatever to stem the tide by dealing with the root causes.
>Trump's HHS Secretary, Alex Azar said, after the election, that his department would not work with Biden's team until the GSA made a determination of who won...a clear indication of their failure to provide timely assistance in a COVID crisis situation...this certainly set Mayorkas' team back.
Next...as to Mayorkas' 'leaked audio'...IMO, he was acknowledging to the CBP that he heard their cries for assistance and committed to gaining control of a difficult situation...in fact, in his briefing, he outlined several actions that were already taking place...
>He and V.P. Harris had already visited Guatemala and initiated programs to deal with root causes forcing Northern Triangle country inhabitants to flee north...i.e. restoring programs/funding that Trump had cut...not just in Guatemala, but El Salvador and Honduras as well (watch the video).
>Federal assistance was being provided to NGOs for housing and COVID testing of migrants (watch the video)
>More funding to enable faster processing of those going through "due process" requests, as well as those being immediately expelled (much further from the border, btw) (watch the video)
>More security resources (equipment and staffing) for the CBP (watch the video).
In short, Mayorkas was agreeing there was a serious and growing problem that he was already addressing, and would continue to until stability was achieved...not quite the 'message' you, or FOX were delivering.
BTW, don't forget that the GOP never cared to support Trump's wall...they could have used "Warp Speed" in his first two years, when they had the House and Senate, to get him the funding...like they did with the Tax Bill...but they knew it wasn't going to make a difference...so, please don't go down that road.
As for the "Hack" charge...If providing real numbers is being a 'hack', then I'm guilty as charged...not sure what to call what you did.
"Unique" individuals is a nonsense number. It matters little if somebody attempted before. How many of the unapprehended are non-"unique"?
The border crisis has root causes that are already well-known. The "root cause" analysis in response to what is happening now is a ruse by incompetents.
The root cause of the surge is the advertisement by Biden during his campaign. The migrants themselves will tell you that.
(Done following you down your current rabbit hole....)

claim...how about you?...I'm sure you care about this issue...did you watch the video?...what was your takeaway?

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences.The globalists have brought on Covid19 to collapse the economy.The vaccines are causing the variants as intended and the fact that 93 million people refuse to be vaccinated is one of the reasons for the so called booster shots.These so called vaccines will create many illnesses further down the road.
claimed that 200K immigrants per month were being released into the USA without being tested for COVID...therefore a Biden sanctioned 'super-spreaker' catastrophe...my reply, with supporting link, proved that wasn't the case...the numbers of immigrants actually 'released' on their own recognizance is much, much smaller...and...they are indeed tested for COVID...is the testing 100%?...I doubt it, but the situation has to be better than what we're seeing in Mississippi and Florida...where the real outrage should be directed...I mean, they have all the vaccine they need...all they need is their leadership to step up and do the right thing.
That post was at best 'inflammatory' and misleading...but nowhere near the truth...IMO you should turn your head around and yell in the other direction.
Now, Is the surge of immigrants at our southern border high?...of course...is the Biden admin targeting this problem with increased funding in the upcoming bills?...absolutely...
Your turn...

point and gives exact numbers...with a comparison to the earlier time periods.
btw, I'm going to hold that video up to you if you voice any claims that his briefing refutes.

personnel...when the number who get through "unencountered" is believed to be equally significant..
Anybody know why this is such a crisis now?

Lance if there was boarder crisis, he said no. Myrorkas explained how unsustainable the situation was. Who do you believe? Is that a crisis?
He worked in a few more euphemisms, doubletalk, and more than a bit of gibberish, and that was sufficient to satisfy Lance and Ty, confirming their belief that anyone who labels the border "open" or a crisis is still a raving ideological nutbag.
some enterprising cog in the bureaucratic machine came up with them to try to justify abject failure.
