It's very concerning what's happening at Southern US border and that journalists haven't been allowed access. 13,000 unaccompanied children are now being held there. "What are conditions like? In short, we don't know. Journalists have not yet been permitted inside the camps since President Joe Biden took office in January, although the White House says they will be. But lawyers who represent children in the facilities say that they are being held in cramped and overcrowded conditions. At a government-run tent city in Donna, Texas, holding 1,000 people, lawyers say children are being kept together so closely that they were able to reach out and touch their neighbour. The children also said they have not been given adequate access to soap or food."

"the children said" while also saying no journalists have been in to talk with kids and the lawyers also didn't say it because they directly mention what lawyers say...odd sentence without much info actually provided on that front..

Friendly reminder that kids are still in cages in horrid conditions at the border. Number increased 25% to 13,000 in a week. Biden’s administration is not letting journalists in; lawyers fighting to reach kids. Or do we not care cuz it’s not orange man?

Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said these camps, which are often compared to jails or warehouses, are "no place for a child".

What's happening at the border? Immigration variables: - Poverty, crime, natural disasters (eg: Honduras had 2 hurricanes back to back) - Pandemic-related job losses - Gov't changes -GOP talking points 'Dems/open borders' All have added to the crisis.
