Does the federal government have the facilities to detain them? Does it have the appropriated budget from Congress to build and operate sufficient detention facilities to keep them all in detention?You guys are attempting to set up a chicken/egg scenario whereby you absolve Joe Biden of any responsibility for the border crisis.
Won't work. The reason why it won't work is that none other than Joe Biden himself said that everything was fine and dandy down south for teh first 3 years of his presidency. Now that polling data is showing him being punished over the issue, all of a sudden it's a crisis and Congress Needs To Do Something.
Much like Obama was able to erect temporary facilities for families running the border, Biden could have as well. Biden instead went the opposite direction and cancelled 287(g) programs:
whitehouse.gov - Executive order reforming our incarceration system to eliminate the use of privately operated criminal detentiSec. 2. Contracts with Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities. The Attorney General shall not renew Department of Justice contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities, as consistent with applicable law.
