From: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-unaccompanied-children-border-custody-record-19k/

Nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children entered U.S. custody along the southern border in March, an all-time monthly high that has forced the Biden administration to house migrant teenagers in convention centers, camps for oil workers and a military base, according to preliminary government data provided to CBS News.

The historic number eclipses previous record-high migration flows of Central American teenagers and children that strained the government's border processing capacity under Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump in 2014 and 2019, respectively. The previous all-time monthly high came in May 2019, when nearly 12,000 unaccompanied children arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border.

U.S. agents along the southern border carried out approximately 170,000 total apprehensions in March — a 70% increase from the previous month. Nearly 100,000 of those taken into custody were single adults, whom U.S. border officials have continued to swiftly expel to Mexico or their home countries under a public health authority first invoked by the Trump administration.

What is Biden doing with Children?

Josephus,

President Biden has done quite a lot. The following
link explains:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56255613

Did you know that in Trump's America a uterus was more
heavily regulated than an assault weapon?

Until the state or Church takes full responsibility for
a newborn, no bible is qualified to even offer a
suggestion on a woman's right to abortion.

Worse than abortion is birthing in instability.

Dear Yuyutsu,

.

You wrote :

« If God wants you to become a terrorist, then you ought to become a terrorist. However, that is completely hypothetical because He does not! »
.

Perhaps you will agree, Yuyutsu, that it is not possible to prove that there is a God or that there isn't a God.

Happily, some of us have the privilege of being able to choose either to believe or not believe that there is a God (or, perhaps, as many Gods as there are human beings). I consider that to be a privilege because most people do not have the possibility to choose. The choice has already been made for them by somebody else, usually, their parents. Their parents (or some other person) have (or has) brought them up in the belief that there is a God (or Gods) or that there is no God (or Gods).

Those people who are not able to choose have been influenced, educated, programmed, indoctrinated, or brain-washed – whatever we might like to call it. Their brains have been “hard-wired” like a computer but, unlike a computer, nobody, today, knows how to rewire human brains, in order to turn on the belief or turn it off at will, or, better still, restore their possibility to choose, themselves, whether to believe or not.

I spent the best part of my life studying the god hypothesis in my spare time and reserved my decision as to whether I should believe or not until I had completed my study. I finally arrived at the understanding that the god hypothesis was simply the best explanation of life and the universe that primeval man was capable of conceiving. The concept was then passed down to us, generation after generation, in a slightly more sophisticated form.

Unfortunately, it is no longer valid and has been largely superseded by modern science, though, admittedly, we still have a great deal to learn.

What about you, Yuyutsu ? How did you come to believe in God ? How do you know what He wants ?

So Foxy you are sprouting "Its a woman's right to take the life of her unborn". However there is events deeper that are happening here - no woman can become pregnant without fertilization from a man. That the pregnancy is unwanted is either from violence or lust, and indicates an undisciplined behavior. This means the religion [thoughts, values, actions] of those taking part in this is worse than the ancient child sacrifice to the gods of fertility. You want to excuse this as a human right - as a Christian this whole behavior indicates the evil destruction of a society. Only criminals use assault rifles against innocent people and that against their will, so it stands to reason that only criminals take the lives of the innocent. You are complicit in the murder of the innocent and call it a human right.

Josephus,

Women have abortions for a variety of reasons
not just the ones you indicate. There's cases
of the mother's life being in danger, of rape, incest,
and so on. I don't think that we are in any position to
be able to fully judge anybody's situation. And to call
it a criminal act because of our own religious beliefs
is not something that we should be doing.

In any case you and I could argue this and keep going
around in circles - and continue to finger-point
ad nauseum. It would be unproductive. You have your
religious beliefs. I have mine. Personally I would
never be capable of having an abortion. But at the
same time I would never judge anyone who did have one.

Have a nice day.

So much for rape or incest - fallacy
Fact:
A survey of more than 2.4 million aborting women performed by the states of Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah during the years 1996 to 2020 gives us an accurate estimate of the number of “hard case” abortions, since these are the numbers that abortion clinics must report in official documents to these states:

1.14% are done to save the life or physical health of the mother.
1.28% to preserve the mental health of the mother.
0.39% in cases of rape or incest.
0.69% for fetal birth defects, or eugenics.
3.50% for all the hard cases combined.
96.50% of all abortions are therefore performed for social or economic reasons
