Demand better?
That is a nice one.
Unfortunately, I am pretty much restricted to voting for Trump or Biden (among those who seem likely to win).

This is REPREHENSIBLE!

As an American, I am outraged that these children were separated from their parents for years and now have no one to care for them. WHY? Are we a 3rd world country??? This is not one story, nor is this 545 stories, this is thousands of stories. LIVES have been ruined because of our governments decision to engage in the "forcible transfer of children". Under International Law that is a punishable act of GENOCIDE!. SHAME.

The filing estimates that two-thirds of the separated parents are believed to have returned to their home countries. Nongovernmental groups appointed by the court have "engaged in time consuming and arduous on-the-ground searches for parents in their respective countries of origin," according to the filing, but those efforts were halted by the coronavirus pandemic and are only now resuming in limited fashion.

Reps. Chip Roy and Mark Green Request Drug Cartels Be Added To Terror List
More from Chip Roy...

Why do these specific cartels qualify as a Foreign Terrorist Organizations? They:

- are a foreign organization.
- meet the definition of ‘terrorism’ and engage in terrorist activity as defined by (22 U.S.C. § 2656f(d)(2)) and (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3)(B)) of the U.S. code.
I think we can all agree that the cartels are brutal organizations which use violence as a major part of their business model. And deserve the toughest of responses.

But should we really confuse crime organizations whose motivations are $ with ideologically motivated violence?
Are they really the same thing?

Why conflate the two? Can't we walk and chew gum?
The story continues.....Trump Plans Crackdown on Fentanyl Shipments from China, Others

The Trump administration is considering an executive order to crack down on shipments of fentanyl and counterfeit goods, according to people familiar with the matter, a move aimed in part at pressuring China to help the U.S. combat its opioid epidemic...

...Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro, who is leading the effort on the executive order, often refers to the sale of fentanyl as one of what he calls China’s “seven deadly sins.” People briefed on the order said it’s likely China would retaliate against the U.S. move.
Interesting...so, the drugs don't come over the border?

"The draft order would target foreign shippers routing deliveries through the U.S. Postal Service -- not the two-largest U.S. couriers United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp., according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. One person familiar with the proposal said that China is a focus for the action, though the presidential order is not limited to that nation."
Attacking it on both fronts in one swoop. Bottom line, fighting for safety of our nation.
I'm 100% in favor with battling this scourge. So, I'm loathe to be overly critical of any legit efforts to actually accomplish improvement.

But really?

You guys have been claiming the fentanyl is coming over the southern border. That's not the primary way. It comes by air.
It's going to continue to come, by whatever means, as long as there are enormous profits to be made.

Why is Trump not interested in what FedEx and UPS do, just USPS? I hate to say it, but this appears to be just a posturing move, a way to tell Fox viewers that he's "doing something" and at the same time accuse the Chinese of being bad folks, the 'enemy'.

Our problem with opioids is of our making, and there's some reckoning with that finally happening. But we're not going to break the back of illegal drug trafficking until we decriminalize drug usage and take the profit out of the criminal networks. And we need to treat addiction as a public health crisis.
You are not doing a very good job of thinking a move or two ahead, you seem too worried to find blame with anything Trump or fit in a reference to fox news. If we lock down or significantly slow down China import of fentanyl , then I ask you "how does it then try and make its way here".....BINGO? the new primary way is the southern border, and who is receiving the goods form China...BINGO, the cartels, and how do they get it here if we are also more scrutinized on our southern border.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time....I believe I have heard that from someone on the forum once before. :D Enjoy your Sunday MD!
Nope, most of the fentanyl illegally making its way to the US is coming from ports of entry. Mostly by post. This was a huge canard about the southern border.

The problem is that it's very, very dense, so it's super easy to ship and to hide.

I don't have any objection to trying to stem the flow, but we know darn well that where there are huge profits to be made there's no way to "win the drug war". It's just a 'feel good', 'act tough' move. And OBTW has the added benefit of demonizing the Chinese.

Just don't kid yourself about the reality.

Now, I do think that we can legitimately ask the Chinese to crack down on the criminals within China who are involved. That's a very legit ask. It's just not something that we should be belligerent about.

How do you process slave labor that can pick fruits and vegetables for republicans? How do the Democrats keep them organized into a reliable voting block in the near future.

Rabid squirrels. Pony up for bus fare, Capt Video.

The CEO of Greyhound bus company has sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding that all undocumented asylum-seekers released by DHS show proof that they are COVID-free before boarding buses, Border Report has learned.

The letter, sent Wednesday, came during a week when it was learned that at least 108 migrants apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in South Texas tested positive for coronavirus at the Brownsville, Texas, bus station as they were en route to destinations North this past month.

Dozens of newly released migrants test positive for virus; ‘Hundreds’ of border agents are South Texas-bound
“Our top priority is the safety of our employees and passengers,” said the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Border Report. “We need assurance that any detainees released by ICE have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, similar to the proof required for international airline passengers who arrive at US ports of entry. Greyhound already asks our customers to stay home and NOT travel if they are not feeling well or have been diagnosed with COVID. However, migrants simply do not have that choice unless the government or their sponsors house them while they quarantine. Therefore, it is critical to public safety that ICE provide 100% assurance that no one released that can be reasonably expected to ride a Greyhound bus be infected with COVID-19 (or mixed with other potential passengers that have tested negative),” Greyhound President and CEO David Leach wrote in the letter to Mayorkas.

News of the letter also comes on a day of criticisms being traded between Austin and Washington, D.C., as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweets that the testing of released migrants is a federal responsibility.

Meanwhile, Mayorkas earlier this week told a White House press briefing that other than those asylum-seekers released from the remain-in-Mexico program, no migrants were being released into the country due to Title 42 border restrictions to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Leach said that during the previous surges of migrants to the border, in 2014 and 2019, “Greyhound and its regional partners worked with charitable organizations to transport migrants with dignity and humanity by adding extra buses on our routes to ease bottlenecks at transfer terminals across the country to the extent of our resources.”

But Leach wrote that the pandemic has been a game-changer for the industry and they must demand that changes are made by DHS officials to ensure the health and safety of passengers and employees.

“As a result of COVID-19, we are anticipating a much more serious challenge if there are any potential migration surges in 2021. Our top priority is the safety of our employees and passengers. We need assurance that any detainees released by ICE have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, similar to the proof required for international airline passengers who arrive at US ports of entry,” the letter reads.

Leach also requested additional financial aid to help the transportation carrier.

“We simply do not have buses and drivers ready to meet surges in demand without emergency funding. In order to properly serve immigrants coming into the southern border and traveling to their sponsor destination, Greyhound will be operating one-way moves throughout the country and in order to get the resources back (buses and drivers) to the border to continue operations, Greyhound needs funding assistance to cover the costs of repositioning buses and drivers from other parts of the country to wherever they may be needed,” he wrote.

Border Report has reached out to DHS officials and will update this story if information is received.

Earlier Thursday, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, called the situation “weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border.”

Late Thursday he told Border Report this is a “serious situation” that needs Mayorkas’ attention and his office hopes to help coordinate with DHS officials. Cuellar is vice chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which is in charge of funding for DHS.

“They (Greyhound) told us ‘we’re dropping off people all over the country.’ That’s why these folks are concerned. And we are definitely in agreement with Greyhound,” Cuellar said.

The CEO of Greyhound bus company has sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding that all undocumented asylum-seekers released by DHS show proof that they are COVID-free before boarding buses, Border Report has learned.

The letter, sent Wednesday, came during a week when it was learned that at least 108 migrants apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in South Texas tested positive for coronavirus at the Brownsville, Texas, bus station as they were en route to destinations North this past month.

“Our top priority is the safety of our employees and passengers,” said the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Border Report. “We need assurance that any detainees released by ICE have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, similar to the proof required for international airline passengers who arrive at US ports of entry. Greyhound already asks our customers to stay home and NOT travel if they are not feeling well or have been diagnosed with COVID. However, migrants simply do not have that choice unless the government or their sponsors house them while they quarantine. Therefore, it is critical to public safety that ICE provide 100% assurance that no one released that can be reasonably expected to ride a Greyhound bus be infected with COVID-19 (or mixed with other potential passengers that have tested negative),” Greyhound President and CEO David Leach wrote in the letter to Mayorkas.
