Question: How do you know things are really, really, bad at the border, and that the Biden administration is trying to cover it up? Answer: When even Yamiche Alcindor admits it.
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, it was PBS/MSNBC’s Yamiche Alcindor, a normally-dependable Democrat supporter and Trump critic, describing children who are “crying and terrified” and “not let out for sunlight for days at a time.” Alcindor stated that the Biden administration is preventing reporters from viewing the detention facilities or doing “ride-alongs” with border patrols, as was allowed under Trump.
Interviewed by Willie Geist, Alcindor began by echoing the White House line that they are “scrambling” to improve conditions. But she went on to acknowledge that even if the problem was “handed” to the Biden administration, it’s now “happening on their watch.”
Geist handled matters fairly, pointing out:
“If it had been the Trump administration, we’d be rightly outraged that they were blacking out information on a very important story. So does this suggest that they have something to hide at the border?”
NBC reporter Julia Ainsley has written about the restrictions the Biden administration has placed on what border agents can share with the media.
Also a guest in the segment, Ainsley confirmed Alcindor’s take about the bad conditions and the way the Biden administration is attempting to stifle reporting on it. Beyond the denial of access to facilities or for ride-alongs, Ainsley mentioned that the children  “oftentimes don’t even have a bed, [and] the lights are kept on 24 hours a day.” Â
Ainsley also reported something perhaps even more ominous:
“We also understand that people who crunch those numbers that I just gave you, they have been given recent orders not to leak because they don’t want more of this information out there.” Â
So here’s the picture of President Biden’s handling of the border:
Crying, terrified children unable to see the sun for days.
This idiot, riding fraud into the White House, took the southern border and our relationships with the countries that normally pushed illegal immigrants on us that was in the BEST condition it has been in decades, with illegal immigration coming across fully under control and TOTALLY DESTROYED IT. This MORON is as STUPID as someone supposedly in charge can possible be.
Trump had it agreed that “asylum seekers” (most just illegal immigrants) had to wait on the southern side of the border while their case is determined. This disincentivized countries like Mexico to just let all that want to come up in as long as they just exited northward. This idiot dissolved those agreements.
He was also building the wall, which secured the vast majority of the border with minimal attention; this stupid moron stopped the wall.
And what had the idiot Biden done to discourage illegal immigration? Well, he has promised there would be NO deportations for 100 days. He has promised free health care. He has promised jobs. He has promised citizenship. But, he asked them nicely not to come… just yet. Signs of a genius? Signs of a leader? Um…. no.
In addition, the Democrats like to pretend we have to worry about COVID reaching up, grabbing us by the throats and KILLING us. We have to wear masks all the time (hell, wear two… or three). We have to social distance. We have to keep the economy closed. We can’t open schools. We can’t visit each other. But on the border? PACK the SHIT out of those “welcoming centers”, spread the virus being brought in, mix it all in REEEEEEEAL good, then put them on buses and ship them all over the country. Stupidity fails to adequately describe this idiot’s policies.
THIS is why so much fraud was required to get this dumbbell into the White House; EVERYONE knew he would be a disaster. Well, on that count, this stupid pile of steaming shit doesn’t disappoint.
