Chris Murphy: [We] inherited an absolute mess, a wreck from the T---- administration

[ffr]

Sen. Chris Murphy Went To The Border And Found Out Who Caused The Crisis (Hint: It Wasn’t Biden)


-snip-

“You know what D---- T---- did was essentially tear down the entire asylum system. And so when you had this massive increase in children coming to the border, first at the end of last year, continuing with the Biden administration, it was very difficult to be able to move these kids out of detention in that 72 hour period. So the Biden administration has been working very fast to try to rebuild the asylum systems, trying to let these kids once again apply to stay in this country if their lives are truly in danger back home in Guatemala or Honduras, but they inherited an absolute mess, a wreck from the T---- administration. They’re trying to do better as quickly as they can. So they’re going to be opening up new facilities for these kids throughout the Southwest border in the coming weeks.
-snip-

The rise in migrants started at the end of last year, which means that it began under T----. Republicans are trying to blame Biden for this issue, but it was T---- who dismantled the asylum system. It was T---- who saw a rising number of children who were arriving on the border. It was T---- who did nothing. - PoliticusUSA

1. Well, well...what a surprise 🤬

Dismantled system
Rising numbers
DID NOTHING

Sounds about right!!

[DENVERPOPS]

10. Oh, Trump and his people did something

All the thousands? of children that were separated from their parents and there is NO record of where they went or what was done with them. REMEMBER, every time the Repubs do something, it is always something they are doing and project it on to the Dems.....
Child Trafficking ring any bells???????????

Are we to believe that they just disappeared?????????????

For all we know, Ivanka and Jared sold them to adoptive parents for an "Adoption Fee" of 20K a pop.......

12. I have said for a while that's what happened to them

The Christians who adopt foreign born children used to get them mostly from Russia. When the Russian government finally got sick of Americans stealing their kids and cut them off, they needed a new source of supply of children that aren’t too dark and don’t have drug-addicted mothers. All of a sudden here come these refugees...

14. "Adoption Fee" ?

Wasn't Betsy DeVos associated with some sketchy adoption agency racket before she started shaking down students?

15. OMG! Please tell me that the Qanon

conspiracy is not another case of GQP projection.

I often wondered what was in it for the orange menace and his pals to take these kids from their parents, besides the sadistic satisfaction of inflicting pain on others. Why keep these kids if they are so "undesireable"?

Any evidence at all that any of them were trafficked for adoption or worse by the sleezes who ordered them to be seized? How many were returned after the courts ordered it? How many are "lost and unaccounted for?"

18. Of course it is

Did you really think they were creative enough to invent this out of whole cloth?

Always accuse your opponent of that which you yourself are doing.

I've long thought the children who were disappeared at the border were really absorbed into some Christian Save the CHildren adoption scheme.

It's going to be far worse than we imagine, and yeah, it's all projection and confession.

2. trump left the country in a huge mess, then to top it off, led an attempted coup...

in order to stay in power and continue his wreckage of society.

As we get some distance from his pathetic admin, it's easier to see what a pitiful, bumbling, megalomanical, blustering, dimwitted clown he was who had no business being president.

What a nightmarish four years his reign was.

3. It was the formal court system Trump effed up?

Trump interfered with the asylum application process and procedures?

[wnylib]

16. Yes, he did. Refused to allow processing

to take place. Then permitted them to be briefly interviewed from a distance, over the border, by phone or Internet. Ordered cases that were previously accepted for asylum to be denied.

His way of dealing with the issue was to just make it and the people disappear instead of working through the problem.

20. Okay, thanks! Makes more sense now. nt.

21. I followed it pretty closely as it was going on.

Met a woman who had volunteered with a refugee program in El Paso and invited her to speak to a group I belong to. We were getting a group of local interested people together to promote activism in donations, volunteering, and sponsoring people who managed to get accepted. Covid put all that on hold since we could not meet or travel. I am partially vaccinated, waiting for my second shot before taking up the issue again. This time, at least, we have a president who will actually seek solutions.

4. He left an absolute mess everywhere else, too.

Going to take decades to clean things up--if they can.

[BigmanPigman]

5. Where is Stephen Miller these days?!?!

[Tommymac]

6. If only it were true.

[BigmanPigman]

7. If Mom's smart she had the locks changed and keeps the light turned off whenever he is in town.

[Tommymac]

9. Yup. I hear blood suckers hate the light.

They melt.

[wnylib]

17. Looks like a mannequin.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Murphy is correct. Beyond that, we came very close to being in an authoritarian regime. nt

[LaMouffette]

11. I wish the mainstream news outlets would include this teeny-tiny detail, that Trump is the reason

for the mess. I keep seeing news segments with these words in two-feet-high letters over the newscaster's shoulder:

CRISIS AT THE BORDER

And then the whole story is about how there is a flood of new people seeking asylum at the border since Biden got elected, as if the cluster-you-know-what is all Biden's fault.

And that was NBC News, I think. I can just imagine the field day Fox News is having with this.

13. We knew they would..!

Thankfully the Dems are there to Fix It!

[ffr]

22. And once we fix it, voters will become complacent again

the QOP will win again, turn back the clock, deficit spend our children into the poorhouse, the economy will crash, and the cycle repeats.

[Cha]

23. It has been that way..

Hopefully this time with all the Domestic Terrorism & deliberately destroying America by Putin's Puppet.. it won't.
