The Biden administration is setting up two more emergency intake sites that combined will provide more than 5,000 beds to accommodate migrant children crossing the US-Mexico border alone. It’s the latest move by the fraudulent administration to try to alleviate overcrowding in Border Patrol facilities and transfer unaccompanied minors who have been held in those facilities, akin to jail-like conditions, for prolonged periods. The Left is excited to bring in millions of new Democratic voters.
Biden offers immigrants free health care and stimulus checks
The Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with the Defense Department to use property on Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas, and Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, with the potential capacity to accommodate up to 5,000 beds and around 350 beds, respectively. Meanwhile, homeless veterans who risked it all now sleep on the streets of America. Dark days in our great country.
On Wednesday, the Defense Department announced it had approved a request from HHS to temporarily house unaccompanied migrant children at two military sites in Texas.
“This support will be on a fully-reimbursable basis, and will not negatively affect military training, operations, readiness, or other military requirements, including National Guard and Reserve readiness. HHS will maintain custody and responsibility for the well-being and support for these children at all times on the installation,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
Over recent weeks, officials have raced to find shelter space for the growing number of illegal migrant children arriving at the US-Mexico border. After children are taken into Border Patrol custody, they’re supposed to be turned over to HHS, which is charged with the care of migrant children.
Our southern border is turning into one giant, dusty, tax-payer funded day care center for Central Americans. No bueno mi amigos! We must pray for the great state of Texas which will surely turn blue in the next decade.
"Thank you for supporting us" says a group of migrants when I asked if they had a message for President Biden. The group said they were from Honduras and were currently being apprehended by border patrol in La Joya, Texas. Stay tuned for more updates on the ground #BorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/nAc39jChxW

Democrats causing a humanitarian crisis at our southern border
HHS oversees an expansive shelter network where those children are placed until they can be relocated with sponsors, like parents or relatives, in the United States. But amid Covid-19 constraints and the accelerated pace of arrivals, the administration has struggled to move unaccompanied children out of border facilities designed for adults into HHS care within the 72-hour legal limit.
As of Tuesday, 4,962 children were in Customs and Border Protection facilities, according to government data, and 11,551 children in the custody of Health and Human Services. Biden refuses to acknowledge the absolute disaster his policies are causing on the souther border.
Under mounting pressure to provide access to facilities, a group of White House officials and members of Congress toured a facility holding unaccompanied migrant children in Texas on Wednesday in the company of a news camera.
The Carrizo Springs, Texas, facility is an example of the types of shelters the administration has been scrambling to find to house children. These facilities, overseen by HHS, are equipped to provide medical services, sleeping quarters and other support.
Reporting in RGV in Texas, we encountered a group of 13 migrants from Guatemala walking along side the road wanting to turn themselves to border patrol. They told me it was easier it come under the new president. Child young as two years old was in the group #BorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/q3Xc0cfRZV
