“I don’t understand why it was handled so poorly. It’s so basic to have each child wear a wristband...”
Are you being sarcastic?
If you have limited resources and a border intentionally designed to encourage massive numbers to illegally cross, including children, at a certain point the system is going to break.
You are talking like you can just tell all of them to get in line and proceed in an orderly fashion. If these illegal border crossers were cooperative and capable of following directions, they would have presented themselves at a border crossing checkpoint. Instead, they are trying to sneak across and evade detection.
Any system you put in place, they are going to try to game. If you use wristbands, they will forge them, or cut them off an put them on another person, or some other stupid act. These are people who are uncooperative and looking to somehow cheat their way in. If they do not figure out how for themselves, there are lots of Democrats and anti-American organizations with attorneys who will patiently walk them through the process of cheating, lying, and conning their way through the system. And these enemies of America are looking for any and every opportunity to create bad optics for the current administration.
If you implement wristbands, the news will do hours-long reports on how wristbands are dangerous choking hazards or how some immigrant supposedly used a wristband to commit suicide. They will show children with wristbands applied so tightly that it cut off their circulation or bruised a poor child’s wrist due to the child-abusing border agents. If you use indelible ink, they will run stories on how the ink causes cancer, and lawyers will file suit and liberal judges will award illegal immigrants millions. Then the liberals will spread word in south and central America that the land of opportunity and million-dollar lawsuits awaits.
There is absolutely NOTHING that our border agents or this administration can do that will not result in demonic shrieking from the left. NOTHING.
The left lies. They are proven liars. Don’t fall for it.
Turn off CNN. Do you think ANY of the news presented by the MSM can be trusted for accuracy or honesty?
You're completely right. The object of the 'game' is to create chaos. And via chaos to demand to be let in as a 'victim of chaos'. (Let the Children Go!) The reward is a life of comparative luxury so it's worth playing the game. A traumatized child is considered a small price to pay for chain-migration and the 'traumatized child' means a bigger check each month for the 'disability', forget the trauma of dragging a child away from friends, extended family and daddy or how abused or neglected they were to begin with. We are dealing with a population with the average IQ of about 80 - very heavy on the "id", not so much on the "superego".
