Pro-Biden group launches family reunification campaign

Posted on 5/10/21 at 8:24 am
The group, Building Back Together (BBT), whose mission is to trumpet Biden's successes, launched a campaign in April to attract Latino voters in key states — the new video is BBT's first rapid-reaction effort on a specific policy.
"After years of fear and terror, we finally have a president who recognizes the humanity of every family. There's more work to do, but the president is already keeping his promise to advance a fair, humane and compassionate immigration system," said BBT chief strategy officer Mayra Macías.

The video follows the high-profile rollout of an administration policy to reunite immigrant families separated under Trump, and a pledge by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to find a legal pathway to permanent status for members of those families.
"Think it's tough to trust our leaders nowadays?" asks a narrator to kick off the video. "Well, trust this. What candidate Joe Biden says, President Joe Biden does."
Mayorkas announced last Monday that the administration would begin allowing parents who were separated from their children to come to the United States to rejoin their families or choose to reunite in their home countries.
Mayorkas said last week the Biden administration had thus far reunited 105 families and was seeking to act "as restoratively as possible" when it comes to reunification.
"Starting this week, fathers will return home, children will have their mothers again and spaces left by those we love who were separated from us unjustly will slowly be made whole again," says the voiceover in the BBT video, over a montage of footage of families reuniting provided by advocacy organizations.
"We're telling the story of this policy through its impact on real families, uplifting the new Administration's commitment to reversing the immoral policies of the last Administration and prioritizing immigration reform early on — a critical part of building back better," said Macías. LINK

How many families have been reunited?
Zero. But that’s not important.

The United States is not responsible for being the dumping ground for low IQ, uneducated, unskilled Third World Illegal Immigrants. Let someone else take them. We have 20 to 30 million Illegal Immigrants here already we don't need more. We have enough as it is.

Imagine actually believing this with every ounce of your being. The fact that we must coexist with these people is somewhat disconcerting.

If kids show up unaccompanied, send them back to their families. Not hard to do.

right??!! Becasue every illegal kid needs all of their aunts, uncles, and cousins to grow up whole. But, each of those needs all of their extended families as well, so....
Oh, and we're gonna set each of you up with a hotel room- on us, and a $15,000 check to welcome you to our country. Remember to vote Democrat!

She doesn’t believe it. She just knows her organization has a shot at federal dollars under Biden.
We live in a kleptocracy.

Curious how many black families they want to reunite
Posted on 5/10/21 at 8:51 am to Jbird
Liberal logic:
Illegal immigrants - reunification of families is of the utmost importance
Blacks - nuclear families are a white, western, patriarchal system that must be disrupted
