All It Took Was One Election for ‘Kids in Cages’ to Become Acceptable Once Again

In an amazing announcement this week the Biden administration has declared they will be reopening a facility in Texas this week in order to temporarily house hundreds of migrant youths who have recently entered the country. If your head just tilted like a dog hearing a harmonica, you are not alone. All of a sudden, it appears, the concept of housing young children from other countries in a government setting is acceptable.

Yes, this sounds like a contradiction from a narrative we have been served for the past four years, but just you wait. I recommend wearing eye protection, as the flying shrapnel from euphemisms will be likely.

The location, in Carrizo Springs Texas, will be run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement is tabbed for "overflow’’ purposes, and will be able to house 700 migrant children. This is being dubbed a temporary influx care facility. That’s a handy shift in nomenclature. Also steps are being taken to avoid harsh PR assessments: The kids will stay in "hard-sided structures. Additional semi-permanent (soft-sided) capacity may be added if necessary, though ORR will always prioritize placing children in hard-sided structures over semi-permanent structures.”

Just that quickly, the practice of housing these arrivals is no longer placing them in "jails," and due to the pains taken in the quartering, "kids in cages" no longer applies. Gone too are the tales of crowbars used to separate families. As CNN describes it, this is a "facility for unaccompanied migrant children apprehended at the US-Mexico border."

The amount of double-standards the media have distributed just in the last month is to such an extent they must buy contradictions in bulk. The real amusement arrives when these purveyors of paradoxes attempt to lecture others on morals and ethics. Funny thing about ethical behavior -- it cannot maintain a fluid standard and remain a valid concern. Yet the press continues to insist they are the arbiters of social propriety.
