I couldn't quite figure out what he was getting at, but it was a "gotcha" (probably recognizable to the Faux Faithful) built upon some sort of false equivalency between crowding kids together in classrooms vs holding areas for "illegals".

Never mind two huge differences between the situations:
1) the alternative situations for the two groups are very different. Remote instruction from mostly safe, comfortable homes vs classroom instruction is a very different choice than "humane holding areas" vs. "holding pen with a cement floor to sleep on with a mylar blanket"
2) The level of federal control over its own immigration facilities vs CDC advice to state and local boards of education.

Psaki was right to say they were two very different issues and to reject the false equivalency.
