For those thinking about the immigration situation at the southern border, Martha Raddatz moderated a balanced and nuanced exploration on today’s special edition of ABC’s This Week, which is well worth a watch. Rs and Ds both should both have some misgivings about their tribe’s approach.

Lol, sure. Didn't here much from Martha in 2019 when unaccompanied minors peaked to all time highs

According to the reporting this morning Biden kept his pledge to end the remain in Mexican policy on his first day, but at this time didn’t have plans in place to deal with an obvious consequence of that decision, an increase in the flow of UACs (and others). And unlike other aliens (families and individual adults) who are immediately returned to Mexico rather than being placed in detention, UACs are detained on the policy basis that sending them back over the border would put them in danger. As a result ICE detention facilities built for a few hundred people now hold thousands. And the flow of UACs has continued to rise and is materially higher than last year. Their processing systems are overwhelmed, the facilities are bursting, and Lord knows what’s up with COVID transmission.

I’m not an expert but am convinced based on what I read and saw it his weekend that the mess is genuine and has exploded since the first of the year. As far as I can tell the things that may fairly be charged to Biden are keeping a promise for political reasons but without planning for the obvious — a rush to the border by desperate people who listened to Ds’ campaign rhetoric and were convinced that the end of Trump would result in immediate change to a more permissive approach to admission. Whether the administration can quickly get a handle around the situation remains to be seen but it appears to me both the messaging and actions should have been more deliberate and better executed. I’m a D and support Biden strongly, but I also call a ♠️ a ♠️ and don’t think Ds are above criticism.

US immigration question. Green card interview date was cancelled in March 2020.

What was that process like? Would my process start from the interview phase? How did you prove that the next job was in the same category? Please mention if you did the process before or during the pandemic. Thanks so much.
