I am not sure what to make of this. I most certainly am against any type of for profit detention, be it for migrants or even domestic jails or prisons. That I am 100% against.
But having said that, not sure what Biden is supposed to do in a split second. Just like we need to move away from burning fossil fuels, we cant do that overnight.
Detaining people who enter without papers has always happened. Deporting people without papers also has always happened. I think everyone can agree that it is harmful to a child to separate them from their parents. But I don't think that is Biden's intent. I think there is more to this story. I'd bet that this on Biden's part will include some way to keep families in contact, and let them communicate with their children in some way and reunite them as quickly as possible. It isn't ideal, no. But it is far better than simply having crappy tracking to the point that nobody can find the parents at all after they are separated. I am certainly confident that Biden is always going to insist that contact tracing will happen.
Press secretary Jen Psaki pushed back on the criticism.
