It's not.  The situation has actually been improving, and Kamala Harris in particular has been appointed the role of addressing the instability that is leading to such an influx of people from our southern neighbors.

This is why the media has been paying less attention to the border.  It's less of an immediate crisis than it was a few months ago, and now just one among many high profile issues competing for our attention.  That being said, I hear about this issue pretty regularly from the media outlets I typically follow, so I find it pretty disingenuous to say the media is intentionally burying the issue.

My interpretation of this thread is that certain individuals desperately want people to see Biden being just as bad as Trump by utilizing bad faith arguments.

I've been seeing a lot of MAGAs suddenly caring about kids at the border on social media too... And the hypocracy to the cruelty they supported for years is enough to make my eyes bleed.  But it's not about the kids to them.  It about making Biden look bad.

Edit: Split up the last paragraph, because I didn't want it to seem like I was inferring political allegiances.  It was merely an anecdote.

The situation is improving?

Its a disaster and Kamala hasn't done anything. She refuses to even visit the border because it would be bad optics. The media is paying less attention because they're protecting the people in power, period.

Biden and Trump are not equal. There has been a massive influx since Biden got in because he invited them. He encouraged them. Many more also sneak in than get captured and no effort if any is made to find out who is here. I'm pretty sure the US is the only country that seems to be okay with so many undocumented people roaming around.

I personally never cared about the cruelty, my stance was always kick them out and discourage them. What's happening in the detention centers is ineffable hypocrisy. The left treated them as modern day concentration camps, now its something we should ignore out of respect. There is also a complete lack of transparency because it would make the administration look bad. The Trump administration was ironically much more transparent and they certainly didn't have the media defending them.

I would love to see all the undocumented people leave and see how that cheap labor effects the US.  Its always funny how the GOP make such a big deal of undocumented people while they have been using and living off of their backs for years.  Its always a good narrative for people like you.  Get you all nice and heated that people are here illegally taking precious unskilled labor jobs away from good American citizens who you cannot even get to work those jobs.

Now you are a cheerleader for cruelty, living your privilliage life in pure ignorance.  Yep, throw those kids back over the boarder where I am sure there is a fate worse then death and probably including death await.  So what, that is what they get!!!!

So what, there are a bunch of unaccompanied minors at the boarder being dropped off because Biden big mouth said they would not be sent back but given at least a chance to find a relative.  At the end of the day, its another political BS.  The Reps gets something to jump on and the Dems get something to ignore.  All those religions right, only seem to really care if those people skin probably was a little paler.
