Another Day of questions for the Biden Administration
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced real questions Monday beginning with why the Biden administration is allocating millions to provide migrants with hotel rooms while the National Guard was forced to rest on the concrete floor of DC parking garages.
‘You are opening up new facilities. You’re spending $86 million on hotel rooms for migrants. How do you square that with the National Guard troops who were sleeping in parking garages?” asked one reporter.
Psaki's answer:
“First, at the time when we became aware of the conditions for National Guard troops, the President called the head of the National Guard that day and offered his assistance!”
Is this the solution that the Biden administration has come up with for housing migrants? Using tax payer dollars for Hotel rooms? What about containing covid?
Three weeks ago Jen Psaki faced her toughest questioner on the cage issue:
Yesterday Biden's handlers put a lid on access to Joe Biden not long after 1PM and later photo's of migrant children in holding facilities were released by a democrat mayor.
Then we had the specter of vice president Harris cackling about visiting the border:
It's hard to believe that she is just one gust of wind away from becoming President....how terrifying.

My question remains the same: If you voted for him, is this what you voted for?
Trump and his supporters are off topic
I am off topic
'My question remains the same: If you voted for him, is this what you voted for?'
Do we have to suffer the same question with every single 'article/opinion piece' about President Biden?
In a word: YES.
Cats yawn when they are stressed.
Regretting your decision to vote for China Joe?
That is a pretty kitty
I'll never regret my vote for President Biden.
The right on this topic and so many other issues facing America put the proverbial bus in the ditch. Rejoicing watching others having to do the dirty work of having to fix what they broke is typical of the "take no responsibility" GOP.
How so exactly? Are you claiming that keeping illegal aliens from entering our country at will and demanding the countries of origin of those people do everything in their power to stop them, and then when those illegals that are caught are deported per the law was not what the President should be doing?
You're apparently praising President Biden inviting essentially everyone from around the globe to come and take residence in America if they are the least bit disillusioned with their home country or the conditions therein.
Only that's not what's happening.
Your hero Biden and his merry band of morons are the ones who broke the border status quo. Now the pathetic assholes are trying desperately weasel their way out of taking responsibility for the mess they so stupidly created. .
Except when it does on a daily basis since Biden was sworn in.
Not happening.
Biden inviting essentially everyone from around the globe to come and take residence in America
Stop lying about what's happening at the border. I'd bet money you were all in when the previous administration was by direction being malicious in taking children away from their parents and losing them in the system.
So you are still all in on separating and losing track of parents & children at the border Eh?
The only one lying is you to yourself.
CBP has found people from all around the globe illegally crossing. Beyond Latin and South America, they have found people from Haiti, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Syria, to name a few. Are those countries not from all around the globe?
And what the Trump administration did is not the topic. Having said that, the children removed from adults at the border during the Trump administration were removed from people who were not relatives. When the children don't know who the individual they were taken from I'll submit that actually saved the child from a very bad future.
Oh, and is it not malicious when a parent sends their child hundreds or thousands of miles from home and family with unknown adults to illegally enter the United States? Isn't that in reality child abuse?
PURPOSELY losing track of the parents, as it has been revealed.
The Government Has No Plan for Reuniting the Immigrant Families It Is Tearing Apart
No, Fly isn't the liar here.
You live where Fly? Somewhere FFFFAAAAARRRRRR from the southern border, right? I betcha those of us who live down here are a lot more familiar and disgusted with " what's happening at the border".
Obviously you forget the threads/articles posted previously 'bout how the MEDIA overstated the total number of kids separated from their parents and that ACTUAL number was 545.
The parents of 545 children separated at the border still haven’t been found
About two-thirds of the parents are believed to be somewhere in Central America.
Months before the Trump administration rolled out its “zero-tolerance” policy on the U.S.-Mexico border, hundreds of migrant children were already being separated from their families with little fanfare. As those children were shuttled around the country in late 2017, their parents were swiftly detained or deported, with few records taken by the government about where they went or how to contact them.
It was only in 2019, after a federal judge ordered officials to hand their names over to immigration lawyers, that the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups tried in earnest to begin reuniting them.
On Tuesday, those lawyers submitted a court filing with a grim update: They have not yet been able to reach the parents of 545 separated children. About two-thirds of those parents are believed to be somewhere in Central America — without their children. Of the parents of 545 separated children who have not yet been contacted, lawyers expect 75 will be reachable by phone. Another 187 have been found but not reached successfully, and 283 have not been found entirely.
And, why are those parents in Central America??? Because they sent their kids/children UNACCOMPANIED to cross the border ILLEGALLY .
Really, I'm not trying to be rude or crude - just trying to get some ACTUAL facts out there for all to see.
Nope, I, for one, am in favor of kickin' all their azzes back across the border and making them use the existing legal immigration entry processes as have millions upon millions of immigrants have done for over 129 years (Ellis Island conducted the first immigration process in 1892).
Is that so hard - following the law???? Why is that such an issue??
Do you run all the red lights? Do you intentionally go on a robbing spree? Do you intentionally go on a damaging spree in your neighborhood? Do you borrow cars from a car dealership and not pay for them? Do you manufacture poor products and, when they fail, deny plausibility?
No you don't - you follow the applicable laws - something the Illegal Alien community just doesn't understand or want to do.
You cross the U.S. border illegally, you get your azz kicked back to where you came from - simple - pure and simple.
I told my wife the other day that we should revert to medieval era tactics.
Build a new ride at the border and call it the "CATAPAULT HOME". Free admission and multiple people can ride at once.
They could get a free ride, a great view of the river as they cross and know that they would have no fear of drowning or being swept away with any current.
Har de har har - y'all are as funny as a heart attack . . . .
I notice you don't bother distinguishing asylum seekers. And is this only people that cross the border from "shithole" countries?
Sorry Greg,
The previous Administration's DHS lost a law suit to the ACLU in November and the Judge decided that unaccompanied children were entitled to due process. Biden inherited the situation as it was growing. the Judge was a Bush appointee.
One presumes you will find 1460 consecutive days of "questions" about the Biden administration. Don't act like your doubt about the administration is bubbling up organically.
Oh, I think others are beginning to have doubts. I had none. I knew what would happen.
Who are these 'others'? Doubts about what?
Knew 'what' would happen?
Nothing has "happened".
People who chanted "build that wall" for four years are of course obsessed on this issue as if life on planet earth depends on the outcome of a migrant surge lasting a few months at the US Mexico border. The truth is this issue will exist until the US Congress comes to agreement on a comprehensive immigration system.
One cannot help but think that if the migrants from the south were white and spoke English we wouldnt be having this national drama on an ongoing basis.
JFC John................SMH
Thats what people say when they are tongue tied.
[removed]
Why would race change anything John? Are you claiming that we would allow millions of migrants to walk into the country provided they are white?
Of course that's not a real question for anyone, is it? I'll say it again: the only "racists" are those who charge "racism!"
We all know what the game is John. The migrants told us: They are here because of Biden. Some of us are confident that the first chance they get to vote illegally, they will vote democrat.
The hand picked commission Trump created in 2017 to prove that millions of illegal immigrants voted for Hillary Clinton found nothing and folded up without so much as even producing a report. You believe in fantasies.
No that's what people say when they can't believe the border line racist bullshit, continuing border line racist bullshit at that, that they just read.
By the way, illegal immigrants don't try to vote , out of fear that the voting process will reveal them and they will be deported.
"As we always knew, California and American elections are filled with fraud and corruption. Thanks to a new poll, we now know that approximately 13% of illegal aliens vote. Since they are already criminals, stealing ID’s or using phony ID’s. lie to get welfare, steal jobs—why not vote as they to lose. Since they can not be deported or jailed, they have nothing to lose. Obama is protecting these law breakers.
Could this be why real citizens don’t vote—the illegal aliens outvote them? Worse, in close elections illegal aliens can make the difference. Corruption? Look at the ballot box. In fact, they could have elected a President and Senator!
“Since 80 percent of noncitizens vote Democratic, according to the study, noncitizen participation could have “been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes [in North Carolina in 2008], and Congressional elections” such as the 2008 race in Minnesota in which Al Franken was elected to the U.S. Senate, giving “Senate Democrats the pivotal 60 th vote” to pass Obamacare. The Old Dominion/George Mason study was sharply attacked by progressive critics, but the mounting evidence makes clear this is a real problem.”
The fantasy is House Resolution 1 which was passed in the House of Representatives. A portion of that bill is;
All eligible voters essentially equates to anyone that applies since election authorities are not permitted to ask for identification or validation of who the applicant is. They simply have to take the applicants word for it and accept that the person who stands before them that is claiming to be Hunter Biden, or Eric Trump, or Benitto Mussolini, or Adolph Hitler is who they claim to be. And then that individual can go to the next polling place and do the same thing, over and over again.
Are we not sophisticated enough to require a photo ID for voting much the same as Mexico and other nations?
Thanks to a poll? We now know?
What nonsense.
You do know that a poll can be tweaked to produce what ever answers you want? Right Vic?
Beyond the admission, the simple fact that illegal migrants get counted as residents alters elections. By way of their huge numbers the illegal aliens can dramatically alter the Electoral College to favor Democrats for at least a decade because a state’s electoral votes are based on the number of people residing within that state.
It's a great game the democrats are playing.

Except, that's not what's happening.
By the way, illegal immigrants don't try to vote
Where have you been...of course they....and in sizeable numbers.
One has nothing to do with the other. The census counts people, which can potentially affect the representative numbers in congress. Strengthening voting laws to ensure only eligible people vote is another topic entirely.
Trying to morph the two into one topic is disingenuous.
Of course they do
You are the one who is disingenuous.
How disconnected from reality is your statement?
Everyone gets counted; but you must be a legal US citizen of the correct age to vote!
Only Democrats are against common sense voting laws such as voter ID, advanced registration, and not allowing convicted criminals to vote.
Maybe it is time to amend the Constitution so that only US citizens are counted in the census. That will stop the sanctuary states from trying to bring in ever more illegal immigrants. It will also deprive Democrats of several seats in the House and electoral college; thus removing their incentive for an open border.
Correct and that is another reason to keep the border secure.
The gop may not be willing to adapt their policies to meet the inevitable demographic shifts, but they can do the math.
Demographic shifts? Caused by inviting illegal immigration and promised amnesty? Maybe the GOP can deal with it by granting every illegal alien a guaranteed income for life. That ought to turn the entire west red. I'd be all for it for it would be poetic justice. The question for you is - Is that a democracy or a Republic?
John - you're out of your zone with that - they do vote and they do get caught and they have no fear 'bout getting caught since they are already ILLEGALLY in the U.S.
So, they get deported - and??????
so they get deported and return in a week or so.
of course some of them have voted. this talk of "staying off the radar" us straight up bs.
some folks don't have any respect for immigration laws.
Illegal immigration has been on the rise after trump initially slowed it down. The current outrage is nothing more than partisan politics, as usual.
He and others, around the globe. If I'm not mistaken even the Washington Post is taking President Biden to task.
President Biden is doing just fine!!!!!!!!!!!
It was so pleasant when you could not bother me per the moderators. Unfortunately that has ceased and I will enjoy watching the blathering once again.
How so?
I'm sure that you are mistaken
What's that you're blathering about?

‘You are opening up new facilities. You’re spending $86 million on hotel rooms for migrants. How do you square that with the National Guard troops who were sleeping in parking garages?” asked one reporter.
If true, what does one have to do with the other? The National Guard had to sleep in parking garages and guard the Capitol and the inauguration because of 'you know who'
I can't believe that someone has to explain the difference but..............The National Guard was working for the people , not only of the US but also our "employees" in DC. Housing illegals contributes what to the US ........except some possible virtue signaling "humanitarian" treatment. Why do you discount the treatment of the NG? The "migrants" aren't contributing jack shit to the US and its citizens. That money would be much better spent on our own homeless and especially veterans
You haven't explained anything to me - you never have.
Virtue signaling . . . blah, blah, blah
You don't even know what that means . . . . .
Why do you discount the treatment of migrants?????????????????
How has the NG been mistreated???????????????
They chose their actions. Had it not been for the "come one come all.......just not yet" didn't help them to make the right decision. And THAT isn't our problem.
So no answer to the question then?
How has the National Guard been mistreated??????????????????????????????????
There was never any 'come one, come all'
Y'all are making it up, as usual.
Given the information and coverage there has been, I thought that question was rhetorical.
So, the National Guard was never mistreated. And one has nothing to do with the other.
You're welcome.

I don't care how big yours or his is or isn't.
Offered his assistance? Maybe President Biden is unaware that he is in fact the Commander in Chief and needs not 'offer assistance', but rather should have given a direct order to be carried out post haste or suffer the consequences with loss of command.
Loss of command???????????
LOL!
Another myth. There is no record of Trump offering hotel assistance to the National Guard. That claim has been circulating in various forms, but there has never been any documentation of it actually existing.
"Another myth. There is no record of Trump offering hotel assistance to the National Guard. That claim has been circulating in various forms, but there has never been any documentation of it actually existing."
It's complete bullshit!
Why would he offer assistance? He was no longer President and Joe Biden was.
Read the article and you too will discover that it was Psaki's answer. She works for Joe Biden if you're unaware.
This was during the transition. National Guard was stationed there, under Trump, until after the inauguration.
Not quite. They were mistreated post inauguration.
If you're a non-believer, take it up with none other than Snopes:
All arrangements were made pre-inauguration. National Guard was in place when Biden became POTUS. Are you claiming he changed orders and made them stay in a garage as his first action as POTUS? Or were the logistics setup weeks in advance?
No, they weren't.
So 'being mistreated' means being forced to sleep in parking garages?????????????
Heaven forbid - the National Guard had to sleep in parking garages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't hear them whining and pissing and moaning and bitching and complaining about it.
What a mess.
The word is CRISIS.
Very much so and they are loosing a handle on it everyday.
That's 'losing' and you are incorrect.
They’re trying to pretend nothing is happening at the border. It’s why no one is going down there and it’s why there is a media blackout.
Some Bidenites are trying to pretend, no actually deny what they know is happening with lies.
While there is an official blackout, the wall is breaking down. Hell, even the main stream media is finally admitting the problem, especially when a Democrat Congressman goes and provides pictures of the people in cages that the administration is trying desperately to hide.
The malfeasance of the current administration is becoming clear to anyone with an ability to think independently.
It’s a disgrace that they weren’t all instantly and universally outraged. I would be embarrassed to be a professional journalist who wasn’t bothered by the government shutting the media out of something they have always had access to.
looks like the Biden Admin. is trying to rival Obama's "Most Transparent Admin. Ever!" status!
lol
With the exception of yesterday's mass shooting, it's been the top story (at least at ABC World News that I watch) for an for the same period of time we've been talking about it here. They keep hammering on the media blackout and the time it's taking to move kids from induction centers to NIH. I keep hearing the word "crisis" from them too... Weird they aren't taking it seriously. /s
It must be quite tiresome for the 'conservatives' and today's gqp to be 'instantly and universally outraged' at all times
Not at all times. Just when government craps all over the 1st Amendment and concepts of accountability with media blackouts. But if you don’t care about that, that’s your choice I guess.
If you want to talk about being outraged at all time, just look at the last four years.
Twist, twist, spin, spin, wash, rinse, repeat
Fart, fart, burp, burp, vomit, diarrhea, repeat.
Nice imitation of Trump. You have it perfect.
Where's AOC?
She could sure put on a big production crying over an empty road. You'd think this might bother her, a little.
Her tears seem to only be for when the GOP has the WH.
