Experts: Biden efforts starting to 'pay off' at southern border

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Immigration experts told Congress on Tuesday the situation and conditions for unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border are improving.

Congresswoman Nanette Barragan (D-CA) said there’s a reason migrant children are coming to the United States.

“Northern triangle countries suffer from unspeakable violence, corruption and poverty,” she said.

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading the U.S. effort to improve the situation at the southern border. One change is children can now apply for asylum from their home countries.

But Aaron Reichlin Melnick from the American Immigration Council said the situation at the border is starting to improve.

“The number of children in border patrol custody has dropped 80% since late March,” said Melnick. “As of this morning, the number of children in border patrol custody is below 48 hours.”

1. None of the Sunday shows seem to be talking about this success....

2. Why isn't this all over the news?

And why isn't VP Harris' name in the headline? I'm glad someone is reporting this and hope the mainstream picks it up.

3. Odd, isn't it?

In the first days of the new administration, the popular media were really focused on the border situation in ways they hadn't been for years (for some reason). Now that progress is being made, it's time to wander off and ignore the border. Muy strange.
