** 21-Mar-2021 World View: Sunday morning news - Southern border
Some highlights from the Sunday morning news shows today:
How things have changed in a week! Last Sunday, the mainstream media
were pretending that there was nothing going on at the southern
border, and only Fox News discussed the crisis. Everyone else was
silent.
Now, the crisis has gotten so bad that the mainstream media are
even calling it a crisis, although the administration is calling
it a "challenge," apparently thinking that the rest of us
are so stupid we believe them.
Here's how CNN described the situation:
The administration used to criticize Trump for cruelty with "kids in
cages," but Biden's is a far more cruel situation, with kids crammed
into shipping crates with no social distancing, no sunlight, and
limited facilities. Furthermore, the kids are being controlled by
child traffickers who abuse the kids and exploit them sexually.
Furthermore, the cartels are using the fact that border agents are
overwhelmed to massive amounts of Fentynal and other drugs into the
US.
Meanwhile, adults are now simply crossing the border and told to go
wherever the want, without even being tested for Covid. They aren't
even being assigned a court date, which is what Obama used to do.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the rounds of the
news shows, clearly telling one idiotic lie after another -- the
border is closed, the situation is under control, it's all Trump's
fault, blah blah blah.
Here's Mayorkas' position:
This is complete nonsense by an administration that's floundering, led
by someone who is cognitively deficient, and which has no plan and no
idea what to do.
One of the flaws in this logic is that if the administration knew
there would be a surge, then why did they rush to dismantle Trump's
policies before beginning implementation of their own policies? They
should have held off dismantling Trump's policies until they were
prepared. But they didn't care about the damage they were doing.
They just wanted to reverse the policies of the hated Trump.

Here's Mayorkas' position:
- He stated without evidence that the Trump administration dismantled
the border policies that Obama had set up.
- He said that Trump's policies were cruel, and that's why Biden
rushed to dismantle all of Trump's policies on day one.
- He stated without evidence that they have a new plan. If they
have a plan, nobody knows what it is, so it's pretty clear that they
don't have a plan.
- It will take time to implement the new plan, and then everything
will be dandy.
This is complete nonsense by an administration that's floundering, led
by someone who is cognitively deficient, and which has no plan and no
