There's a difference between unaccomanpied children and children crossing the border with their parents. Is Biden separating the latter?
Biden rescinded the Trump era policy of separating families nearly immediately after getting into office. No, Biden is not separating families entering the country https://www.politifact.com/factchec...den-not-separating-families-entering-country/ Conservative pundit Glenn Beck wrongly claimed on Twitter that President Joe Biden’s administration was doing the same thing that the Trump administration was rebuked for: separating families at the southwest border. Here’s what Beck tweeted Feb. 23: "Just for the record, the Biden Administration IS separating children and parents, and building trailer park cages to hold those children. Where is the outrage from the left. We will interpret your silence as confirmation you never actually cared about kids ‘in cages.’" Beck’s tweet tagged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who spoke out against the family separations during the Trump administration. It also included a link to a Washington Post story — which did not report what Beck claimed. An increasing number of unaccompanied children are arriving at the southern border and being put in temporary custody. From October to January, U.S. Border Patrol reported encounters with about 20,000 unaccompanied children at the southern border. For context, there were about 33,000 such encounters from Oct. 1, 2019, through Sept. 30, 2020. Typically, children are placed in state-licensed shelters. But due to space constraints at shelters during the coronavirus pandemic, the Biden administration has begun placing some of these children at a temporary facility in Texas. That decision has been criticized by immigrant advocates and people in Biden’s party who say that such temporary facilities are not suitable. Beck’s tweet was wrong on a major point: These children were not separated from their parents at the border. They arrived alone. Biden’s administration rescinded the Trump-era policy that led to systematic family separations. He established a task force to reunite families that were separated under the Trump administration. PolitiFact reached out to Beck through his website and Twitter but did not hear back. More about the children in the temporary facility Children who arrive at the border without a parent or legal guardian are referred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of U.S. Health and Human Services. That office is responsible for their temporary care until they are placed with a sponsor, who is usually a parent or close relative in the U.S. HHS reopened a temporary facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, to respond to the influx of unaccompanied children and comply with COVID-19 mitigation strategies, such as social distancing. (That site was also used for about a month in mid 2019.) The Washington Post story that Beck cited was about this facility, which is housing children ages 13 to 17. "Youth who have traveled to the U.S. alone are being placed in this shelter while case managers can locate family or sponsors in the U.S.," says a sign outside the facility. Both Amnesty International USA and Kids in Need of Defense, an advocacy group for unaccompanied migrant and refugee children in the U.S., urged the Biden administration to move children out of the temporary facility and into the homes of vetted sponsors or licensed shelters. "Temporary facilities are an imperfect stopgap solution," said Denise Bell, a researcher for refugee and migrant rights at Amnesty International USA. Beck’s tweet said that children were being held in "trailer park cages," and he cited a Washington Post tweet that had a picture of portable buildings, or trailers. HHS told PolitiFact that the structures depicted are "portable offices equipped with air conditioning, paneling, tile flooring, table and chairs, telephones, computers and video conferencing capability." The portable offices are used by attorneys and mental health clinicians providing services to minors, HHS said. According to HHS, the Carrizo Springs facility has "soft-sided structures'' — rigid frame structures with a canvas-like covering — used in areas for taking in children when they arrive, dining and indoor recreation, and serious health care needs. Dorms, classrooms, health care clinics, the barbershop and hair salon are inside buildings, HHS said. Our ruling Beck said, "Just for the record, the Biden Administration IS separating children and parents." Beck linked to a Washington Post article that does not corroborate his claims about family separations. Immigrant rights groups and the federal agency that takes temporary custody of immigrant children said that they were not separated from their parents, they arrived unaccompanied. We rate Beck’s claim False.
The Biden administration reversed the Trump "family separation" policy on January 26th. Here is the announcement.
The crisis with Unaccompanied Minors at the border is reaching crisis level since Biden got into office... his administration appears to be ignoring it. Former Trump Official Says He Warned The Biden Administration About The Border Crisis. Now It’s Here https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/09/biden-admin-border-migration-crisis-warning/ The Biden administration scrambled to find shelter beds for unaccompanied children arriving at the southern border despite Trump administration official’s warning of increasing migration to the U.S. Last week, facilities holding migrant children were allowed to open at 100% operational capacity despite COVID-19 regulations, a Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation Friday. Nearly 6,000 unaccompanied children were encountered in January, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). “We were sounding the alarm right after the election when the numbers started going up,” acting CBP commissioner Mark Morgan told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “No one was listening, before I left HHS, [the Office of Refugee Resettlement] was already complaining that the UAC’s [unaccompanied alien children] they were testing at an 11% positive rate for COVID.” “I think they’re [the Biden administration] absolutely caught off guard by the numbers that have come to the border as fast as they are,” Morgan said. Around 350 unaccompanied minors are crossing the border daily and CBP apprehended over 4,000 migrants on multiple days during the first week of March, The Washington Post reported. The number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border has quadrupled since fall 2020 and overwhelmed HHS shelters are leaving the children in CBP custody longer than the legal limit. “I think you’re going to see the unaccompanied minor numbers well in excess of 9,000 in February,” Morgan told the DCNF. He added that he expects unaccompanied children are spending, on average, around 80 hours in CBP custody. The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act requires that unaccompanied minors be transferred to ORR care except for in “exceptional circumstances,” according to the United States Government Accountability Office. Unaccompanied minors from Mexico and Canada may also be allowed decide to return to their country of residence. Title 42 prohibited people from Mexico or Canada from entering the U.S. due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, according to CBP. However, the Biden administration repealed Title 42 mandated expulsions for unaccompanied minors, Morgan said. “We’re right back where we were at the height of the crisis in 2019,” Morgan told the DCNF. “In February I think the numbers are going to be close to if not over 100,000 in a month, they’re getting 5,000 a day, over 400 UAC’s a day, under anyone’s standards those are crisis-level numbers.” The Biden administration should return to some of the policies that were effective under the Trump administration such as the Migrant Protection Protocols, often referred to as the remain in Mexico program, John Hostettler, the vice president of federal affairs for States Trust, told the DCNF. “I see it doing nothing but getting worse as the weather gets better,” Hostettler told the DCNF. “With the green light that the Biden administration is putting out I think that it’s just going to get worse.” President Joe Biden issued a mandatory review of the Migrant Protection Protocols through an executive order in February, Reuters reported. Asylum seekers will no longer be registered with the program that kept around 65,000 migrants in Mexico as they awaited their court dates.

The crisis at the border is of Trump's bootlickers own making. Criminal Paxton broght suit to Trump appointed judge to continue Trump's immigration policies and stop Biden's. Biden's attempts of going back to catch and release (immigration policy for decades) would've eased cramming conditions. Of course, you're taking your news from Ben Shapiro's outlet, so you would not know that.
Right, but what was rescinded was that we would not prosecute you if you entered the country illegally. It just so happened that if you were prosecuted for breaking the law, and you had a child with you, that child couldn't go to jail with you. Kinda like every other country on the planet does, and how we do it when you are found stealing, or committing murder or whatever and you go to jail. You are separated from your child.
