The surge is not a surprise, but it is hard to be nuanced about it.  A surge would happen eventually once things started to look like the COVID situation was coming under control as there was an outflow of people going to Mexico during the heat of the pandemic -- and now that it looks like the situation is coming under control - the flow will reverse on top of the normal ebb and flow. 

Then why have the Border officials been ordered to keep quiet, no media ride alongs to report status. If as you say it's just business as usual.

biden changed the policies, this fueled the surge.

Nothing to see here folks, no crisis. It's a challenge.

The reality is, for many parents, that discussion has to include the warming that any interaction with the police is a moment during which your life is at risk.

 

That discussion should include respect for police. Don't sass them, don't fight them, don't reach for knives, guns or anything which would give the impression of having a weapon. Anyone, any color who does any of these things run the risk of loss of life.

There are dozens of reports about this.  Google is your friend.  Stunning your not aware of this.

Research "the talk" also.  It's what black parents have to have with their kids after they reach the age where they are going out alone a lot.  Sucks.

I had the talk with my son as all parents should. Mine went like never consent freely to any search, in your car or at home. Never, never, never. But for many it should include respecting the police and do what they tell you when they tell you. Don't resist.

The world seem obsessed by issues or race. At times I think it creates more racism.

A good article about the shootings and how anti trafficking ideology endangers sex workers.

Racism is a gold mine. Which is why claims of racism won't stop. Of course it exists, but non stop talk of it only perpetuates and makes it stronger.

I agree about this......creates more racism.

I started in Sakon Nakhon at Bangkok Bank, they said farang no can have, tried in Bangkok, they needed a letter from embassy. Tried in Jomtein at Bangkok Bank, no problem,

Meanwhile his approval ratings was up five percentage points from 54 percent in a survey carried out March 10 to 11.

This has been buoyed by a boost among independent voters whose rating went from 48 to 56 percent. Republican's approval went to 23 percent from 20, while Democrats went from 91 to 92. 

You don't think world leaders study biden's every word. They've got to be chuckling, I know I am.

I never kept track of Trump's tweets. Don't understand how our president forgot who was president. Please explain.

Biden clearly can't be trusted to answer questions. Just recently joe refers to harris as President harris during a talk.

You finally get it.  Biden's proposal is contingent on them dealing with corruption.  Trump just cut funding.  A huge difference.  Hope you can see that.

https://joebiden.com/centralamerica/

As president, Joe Biden will renew a robust commitment to U.S. leadership in the region and pursue a comprehensive strategy for Central America by: 

• Developing a comprehensive four-year, $4 billion regional strategy to address factors driving migration from Central America; 
• Mobilizing private investment in the region;
• Improving security and rule of law;
• Addressing endemic corruption;
• Prioritizing poverty reduction and economic development.

Did you read your own link. Biden is just copying Trump, just words without dealing with what's happening now. Your biden link isn't news, it's propaganda. Won't even bother with it. The folks wanting to cross the border smell weakness which is why the numbers are exploding.

I never heard biden telling the illegals not to come during the elections. Harsh measures are what's needed to curb illegals and parents sending their kids. Words won't stop it.

Trump's plan to cut aid to Central America could push more migrants to come to US

Cutting aid to Central America could fuel desperate conditions that drive immigrants to the United States’ southern border.

Makes perfect sense, your link doesn't help your position at all. Giving money to corrupt governments who won't help curb illegal immigration is stupid.

"The Trump administration has said Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras will receive aid in the future only if they take “concrete actions” to reduce immigration. But experts say freezing international aid may increase the number of immigrants heading to the United States."

Like i did when oj walked. Disgusted with the US system, and it has never recovered.

But at least floyds family are now taken care.

If Chavin is found not guilty, the cases against the other 3 will collapse. Maybe they should file a lawsuit themselves.

Hopefully the creep will meet alot of new friends, who will make him feel right at home, and pay lots of attention to him. I hear cops do not do well in prison. Especially racists, who like to choke unarmed men. 

How are you going to feel when he walks away a free man?

If you are arrested they must tell you why. If not arrested then you are free to walk away, even if police tell you that you cannot.

OK Perry Mason, provide evidence....please. You can't just throw BS around.

We're talking about the immigration problem. Trump never shied away from it. All you're doing is trolling. Trump had alot of faults but dealing with illegals wasn't one of them. Biden ran the election on being compassionate with illegals. He got alot of sympathy votes that way. Here you go joe, deal with it. Don't run and hide.

Yeah, I saw the source.  I'm all for transparency, but read an interesting comment about Biden's recent speech.  Basically saying that no matter what he said, the right wing media outlets will bash him.  And they did. 

Fox News has admitted it's the anti-Biden news outlet.  Why would anyone want to just listen to that all day?  Boggles my mind.

What were the headlines when Trump was president. Biden's way of handling this crisis is to stop the reporting. good job joe.

So biden is dealing with this crisis by putting a gag order on the Border Patrol agents.

I'm not American but looking in at this it seems more definitely sex trade worker orientated than race,  or is that just too simple, possibly the bigger question is why were so many of these masseurs of Asian extract ? 

Massage shops with Asians are everywhere and the majority.
