Transparency?

  • Saturday, April 10, 2021

The southern border is in chaos, governors in the region are pleading for help and Biden’s Border Csar, Roberta Johnson, a three decade State Department employee, just bailed out. That’s because they have no answers and the activist media will tell us little.

Moving migrant children in unmarked vans into buildings shrouded with black tarps and then not answering questions doesn’t indicate transparency. It has all the indications of a covert operation. We’re local officials notified of this?

Shelby County school board members recently asked a lot of questions of a group planning to turn one of their unused schools into a shelter for migrant children and the group withdrew their request. So much for transparency there.

Tennessee and each county have rigid rules for housing and care of children when there are no custodial parents. There are also health department regulations protecting the safety and welfare of the children as well as the rest of us. All of these rules are monitored by state and local officials.

Remember the bluster by Democrats over the Trump team dealing with the surge of children? Right now we know almost nothing of what is happening in Highland Park. We do know without a conservative news service breaking the story we wouldn’t know anything. We also know the feds are tossing around millions of dollars in grants for dealing with migrant children.

Progressives never met a regulation they didn’t like when it comes to us. When they are in control those regulations mean nothing without full transparency. Don’t expect it from the Biden team or the national news. They will just resign and blame it all on Trump.
