Distorting & deceitful coverage by CNN.

As NBC said last night (30 April on Lester Holtz)
since the change in POTUS Trump's "remain in Mexico
policy" their has been a huge increase.
There are now more than 23,000 unaccompanied children
now in custody.
And moving them to tents in the desert, or places
that should be sheltering our homeless, or taking
up foster care places, does not make it good.

Locally we had a foster family displaced so their
home could be changed to house immigrant children.
Shameful. Federal Government neglecting our
own children to encourage more uncontrolled immigration.

"--hundreds of migrant children and teenagers crossing the
Southern border alone daily — opening a dozen emergency influx
shelters ---"
"---Another 19,000 unaccompanied minors were in the custody of
U.S. Health and Human Services---"
"---That bottleneck may be starting to ease. In recent weeks,
HHS has been adding emergency influx shelters anywhere it can —
from abandoned camps for oil workers, to big city convention
centers in Texas and California, to smaller facilities far
from the border in Michigan and Pennsylvania."

"Meanwhile, more than 400 migrant children continue to arrive
at the border every day, according to the latest statistics.
Earlier this week, about 100 of them were sent to their new
temporary home — rustic cottages near a private lake in
southern Michigan."
