White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wants the American public to know one thing: the migrant children being kept in cages at this very moment do not technically qualify as ‘kids in cages.’ This is due to the fact that the ‘kids in cages’ are being kept in cages under the administration of napper-in chief Joe Biden, and Biden does NOT support keeping kids in cages… Except for when it’s absolutely necessary to keep those ‘kids in cages’ because there’s nowhere for the ‘kids in cages’ to be kept… Except in cages.

Are we clear? If not, just know that the above explanation for why migrant children are no longer getting lip service from weeping Democrats like AOC was more coherent and clear than the recent explanation offered by “circle-back” girl at a White House press briefing this week.

What You Should Know:

The White House is under fire for its use of migrant children detention centers that Democrats decried as cruel and inhumane under former President Donald Trump.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters in late February that the facilities do not qualify as ‘kids in cages’ because they are providing educational services — even as schools nationwide struggle to reopen, mind you.

“What is happening now is there are children fleeing prosecution, fleeing threats in their own countries, traveling on their own, unaccompanied to the border. And our focus is on approaching this from the view of humanity and with safety in mind,” said at the time.

Please Note: The explanation offered by White House Press Secretary Peppermint Patty is almost VERBATIM the rationale put forth by the Trump administration when they were under fire.

What You Should Also Know:

Psaki told reporters last week that the Biden administration –  currently following the Trump administration’s policies on immigration – has no interest in taking suggestions from the Trump administration on how to handle immigration policy.

Got that?

Psaki: “We don’t take our advice or counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective over the last four years. We’re going to chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect.”

Remember When: March 9, 2021

Reporters are fed up with the verbal gymnastics and long-winded bullcrap being put forth by the Biden administration on immigration policy, and it came to a head Tuesday.

Enjoy this beloved clip from Tuesday’s press conference in which a reporter desperately tries to get a straightforward answer from Psaki on the issue of migrants at the border:

REPORTER: “The number of migrants detained has tripled… Is that accurate?”

PSAKI: “Those numbers are tracked by DHS. I’m just suggesting that you talk to them…”

REPORTER: “We talked to them… They won’t confirm the numbers.”

PSAKI: “Ask them again… It’s not our program”

Fun Fact: It IS the Biden administration’s program. The Department of Homeland Security is overseen by the President of the United States.
