    1. ​@Eric Graham Liberals understand it. It’s the extremist socialist / state sponsored media ideology that brings us real liberals down.

    2. @FactsarenotdirtyFwords says the moron who doesn’t comprehend how heavily the Biden Administration is invested in fossil fuels. Sucker indeed…you’re just too stupid to realize your reality.

  1. Donald’s reaction reduce capacity as much as possible.
    And spike the tires on the bus as you leave… The children can walk can’t they

    1. @Chaninification Yeah, because the opposing party abusing the FISA court to illegally spy upon his campaign- and outing a CIA source in the process-, defaming and slandering him as being a Manchurian candidate, and getting their lapdogs in the media to bark the same tune, when their candidate lost didn’t set the stage for his petulant stance when he lost.

    2. @John Patrick I’m 4th generation Palm Beach County, born and raised. I don’t know what it would take for people that defend him, to recognize what he actually is. But I have known for decades before he became president that he should be under a prison.

    3. Lol in 3 months they can’t bring military cots from one of the 30 military bases within a day’s travel?

  2. Donnie got the best treatment when it came to transition. Biden got the exact opposite because Donnie is a big baby.

    1. the facilities were large enough during the trump administration. So why are they too small now? Don’t try to blame this on Trump. thanks.

    2. @Geralt Rivia It’s up 70%, so it seems they are much more crowded now. Interviewed refugees themselves say “we came here, because of Joe Biden”. He really made his own bed. The leaked photos of the camps would call it a prison/super spreader.

    3. Biden was handed a gift.. How do we keep kids with their family? Zero tolerance and boarder walls. Biden threw it out the window on day 1.

    4. @John Freedman What’s up 70% Immigration? Detention facility capacity? Since it’s neither, I don’t know what youre on about. Of course recent photos will look bad; it takes time to fix a monumental screw-up like what Biden has inherited, and the pandemic just makes it slower.

  3. The people in here saying why is Biden blaming the Trump administration for everything are the same people who thought it was ok for Trump to blame the Obama administration.

    1. Obama blamed Bush for everything for eight years! The only thing Creepy Joe can blame Trump for is making Creepy look bad!!!!!!! BOOYAH!!!!

    2. @David Eby It took nearly 8 years for Obama to clean up Bush’s mess and Trump only makes Biden look Good, by comparison. But I’m not going to argue with someone who subscribes to OAN; you’re lost.

    3. As to what? Obama was tough on the border, and deported more “immigrants” than Trump ever did. Obama also frequently said on video “don’t come here, you will be sent back”. Biden told them come on in, so they are.

    4. @John Freedman Biden told immigrants the exact opposite though…And Trump detained immigrants, rather than deporting them, so that for-profit-prisons could get paid hundreds of dollars, per day, per immigrant.

  4. Just so you know. The “dire” situation this year is not as bad as it was last year. Last year the initial spring surge was 31%. This year it is only 28%.

  5. Blaming it on the transition? What about now? Biden has had months and yet hasn’t visited the situation at the border….

    1. Nor Kamala. In fact I saw her laughing when asked the question.

      Crisis at the border – they don’t care.

  6. Not surprised. Do you guys just do nothing but give false information out? Stop listening to them. Actually research.
