He's on record saying it's B.S. In fact, he said it was (the Right Wing media's fault) for promoting the issue - leading to any further escalation of border pressure.
If definitive proof surfaces that we indeed start settling w/ illegal aliens, his term in the White House will be short lived. And the midterms will be a blood bath for his party.
Further, on the facts of family separation, Biden is wrong as well, in how he frames the family separation issue. Families were not separated under the Trump administration out of some kind of animus. Rather, a court precedent called the Flores decision made it illegal to keep the families together in detention facilities — because, by law, children had to be released to other relatives or foster care within a set amount of time.

We've been doing vaccine mandates since the early 1800's. Currently children must be vaccinated (sometimes multiple times) against a whole host of pathogens before gaining admittance into school.
A national registry should be created where citizens can sign their name opposing vaccine mandates. Then that list could be sold to corporations for billions of dollars, helping to retire some debt, while pruning the workforce of employees with little to no critical thinking skills. The Vaxidiots would essentially be prequalifying themselves for employment in the many shovel-ready jobs stemming from the new infrastructure bill. Win-win.

Here’s a breakdown of the bill:
ROADS AND BRIDGES
The bill would provide $110 billion to repair the nation’s aging highways, bridges and roads. According to the White House, 173,000 total miles or nearly 280,000 kilometers of America’s highways and major roads and 45,000 bridges are in poor condition. And the almost $40 billion for bridges is the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the national highway system, according to the Biden administration.
PUBLIC TRANSIT
The $39 billion for public transit in the legislation would expand transportation systems, improve accessibility for people with disabilities and provide dollars to state and local governments to buy zero-emission and low-emission buses. The Transportation Department estimates that the current repair backlog is more than 24,000 buses, 5,000 rail cars, 200 stations and thousands of miles of track and power systems.
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT RAIL
To reduce Amtrak’s maintenance backlog, which has worsened since Superstorm Sandy nine years ago, the bill would provide $66 billion to improve the rail service’s Northeast Corridor (457 miles, 735 km), as well as other routes. It’s less than the $80 billion Biden — who famously rode Amtrak from Delaware to Washington during his time in the Senate — originally asked for, but it would be the largest federal investment in passenger rail service since Amtrak was founded 50 years ago.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The bill would spend $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging stations, which the administration says are critical to accelerating the use of electric vehicles to curb climate change. It would also provide $5 billion for the purchase of electric school buses and hybrids, reducing reliance on school buses that run on diesel fuel.
INTERNET ACCESS
The legislation’s $65 billion for broadband access would aim to improve internet services for rural areas, low-income families and tribal communities. Most of the money would be made available through grants to states.
MODERNIZING THE ELECTRIC GRID
To protect against the power outages that have become more frequent in recent years, the bill would spend $65 billion to improve the reliability and resiliency of the power grid. It would also boost carbon capture technologies and more environmentally friendly electricity sources like clean hydrogen.
AIRPORTS
The bill would spend $25 billion to improve runways, gates and taxiways at airports and to improve terminals. It would also improve aging air traffic control towers.
WATER AND WASTEWATER
The legislation would spend $55 billion on water and wastewater infrastructure. It has $15 billion to replace lead pipes and $10 billion to address water contamination from polyfluoroalkyl substances — chemicals that were used in the production of Teflon and have also been used in firefighting foam, water-repellent clothing and many other items.
PAYING FOR IT
The five-year spending package would be paid for by tapping $210 billion in unspent COVID-19 relief aid and $53 billion in unemployment insurance aid some states have halted, along with an array of smaller pots of money, like petroleum reserve sales and spectrum auctions for 5G services.
I like that they've got a few billion in there for electric vehicles. The market will eventually choose all electric, but nothing wrong w/ speeding up the process. A day is coming when American city streets will be peaceful and clean, with only the sound of tires rolling to remind you that thousands of folks are commuting back forth.Last edited by C0|dB|00ded; November 7, 2021, 08:06 PM.

Get your head out of Trump's arsehole. You didn't even know how to spell mandate until Covid.
Unborn babies being killed huh? How many adoptions have you completed in your lifetime? Right.
Useless platitudes and virtue signaling. It happens on both sides... believe me.
Get your ass down into the hood on Monday and start weeping in the streets for all the pending murdered babies.

Looks pretty good all things considered. Uncle Joe got it done. Thanks to the level-headed Republicans and Democrats who worked together for American progress. We've GOT to get going with our infrastructure. Some of these Asian countries are making us look positively prehistoric.

K. I'll expect you to hold your children out of school this year due to vaccine mandates. Oh wait...
