MESOPOTAMIA NEWS: SLEEPY JOE’S FIRST CRISIS  !

This Is Not Normal – by Noah Rothman Commentary Magazine – MARCH 18, 2021 POLITICS & IDEAS

The Biden administration is facing the first real crisis. The number of migrants arriving at and trying to cross into the United States from Mexico threatens to become the worst illegal immigration surge in 20 years. Worse, the wave of migrants crashing against the border includes many children arriving without parents or legal guardians.

Republicans have alleged that the Biden administration’s relaxed approach to the enforcement of immigration law is responsible for the crisis. Democrats insist that the forces “pushing” migrants to the United States, including relative rates of poverty, violence, and corruption in Central America, are more relevant than those “pulling” them toward the border. Whatever the causes, the outcome is the same: kids institutionalized in makeshift facilities.
