AFTER ANOTHER TO REVERSE MALE
PATTERN BALDNESS.
>>> TO THE MOUNTING CRITICISM
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
FACING OVER THE HANDLING OF
UNACCOMPANIED MINORS AT THE
BORDER AS NUMBERS JUST KEEP
SURGING.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTS,
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SEND
AN EMAIL.
THEY WERE ASKING IF EMPLOYEE S E
WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE A
FOUR-MONTH PAID LEAVE TO CARE
FOR CHILDREN ARRIVING AT THE
BORDER.
THAT COMES AS NEW PROJECTIONS
SHOW THE NUMBER OF UNACCOMPANIED
MIGRANT CHILDREN AT THE BORDER
SEX PICTURED TO RISE
EXPONENTIALLY.
MORE THAN 20,000 CHILDREN AND
TEENAGERS ARE IN CUSTODY.
THE SYSTEM THAT IS PREPARING FOR
MORE CHILDREN IS ALREADY AT 103%
CAPACITY. THAT IS ACCORDING TO BRIEFING
THAT IS ACCORDING TO BRIEFING
MATERIALS FROM OPERATION RTEMUS.
GOVERNMENT PROJECTIONS OBTAINED
BY "THE NEW YORK TIMES" SHOW
THERE COULD BE MORE THAN 35,000
MIGRANT CHILDREN IN GOVERNMENT
CUSTODY BY JUNE.
LET’S BRING IN SPECIAL ASSISTANT
TO THE PRESIDENT ON IMMIGRATION
FOR THE DOMESTIC POLICY COUNCIL,
TYLER MORAN.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT
ARE HAPPENING THAT ARE CAUSING
THIS FLOOD OF UNACCOMPANIED
MINORS TO THE BORDER.
A CHANGE IN MEXICO’S POLICY HAS
MADE THINGS MORE DIFFICULT.
EXPLAIN THAT.
EXPLAIN WHAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION PLANS TO DO TO MANAGE THIS CRISIS IN THE COMING
MANAGE THIS CRISIS IN THE COMING
MONTHS.
>> THE PRESIDENT CAME INTO
OFFICE WITH A DYSFUNCTIONAL
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
THERE’S A LOT OF REASONS WHY
PEOPLE ARE COMING TO OUR BORDER.
OF COURSE, THERE’S BEEN VIOLENCE
IN THE REGION FOR SOME TIME.
WE HAD TWO MAJOR HURRICANES IN
HONDURAS LAST NOVEMBER.
IN GUATEMALA, THERE’S BEEN A
DROUGHT THAT’S FORCED FORMERS TO
NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THEIR CROPS.
SO WE HAVE ECONOMIC DRIVERS THAT
ARE BRINGING PEOPLE TO OUR
BORDER.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT STEPPED INTO
OFFICE, HE TOOK ACTION
IMMEDIATELY.
I WOULD SAY THAT THERE’S TWO
WAYS THAT HE IS ADDRESSING THE
CRISIS.
NUMBER ONE, WE ARE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE WE ARE PROCESSING KID
FLZ OUR COUNTRY SOKID.
>> Dale: -- KIDS THERE OUR
COUNTRY.
WE ARE ADDRESSING THE REGION
PEOPLE ARE COMING.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
IF YOU JUST FOCUS ON OUR BORDER,
YOU ARE NOT ADDRESSING WHY
PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMING TO
OUR BORDER.
THE PRESIDENT HAS A BLUEPRINT.
HE IS WORKING WITH THE VICE
PRESIDENT ON THIS.
ONE OF THE PRIMARY COMPONENTS TO
ADDRESS THE CAUSES.
INVESTING IN THE REGION.
WE HAVE DONE THAT.
WE HAVE SENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF AID TO THE REGION TO ADDRESS
OF AID TO THE REGION TO ADDRESS
THE VIOLENCE, THE HURRICANES, TO
TUTORING KIDS TO BROKEN STREET
LIGHTS.
>> A CONGRESSMAN SAID IT WAS
IMPORTANT TO HUMANELY SEND MANY
OF THE UNACCOMPANIED MINORS BACK
TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES AND TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE IMAGES OF
THAT SO THE MESSAGE GETS SENT
BACK THAT THE BORDERS ARE NOT
OPEN AND THEY SHOULDN’T SEND
THEIR CHILDREN OUR WAY.
WHAT IS THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION’S THOUGHTS ON
THAT SUGGESTION?
>> JOE, THE BORDERS AREN’T OPEN.
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LAW.
THE LAW SAYS THAT WHEN PEOPLE
COME TO OUR BORDER AND THEY ASK
FOR PROTECTION, WE CAN PROCESS
THEM.
NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO
QUALIFY.
NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO STAY.
WE ARE NOT A COUNTRY THAT’S
GOING TO TURN KIDS BACK INTO THE
DESERT BY THEMSELVES.
WE ARE NOT A COUNTRY THAT’S
GOING TO TAKE PARENTS AWAY FROM
THEIR KIDS LIKE THE LAST
ADMINISTRATION.
WE CAN HANDLE THIS.
WE CAN PROCESS PEOPLE IN A FAIR
