Great reporting as always Ioan. The Biden Administration is “The Administraion of Half Measures.” There is a lack of foundation and decision making. I can appreciate the situation is fluid and has gotten worse, but that doesn’t excuse the lack of cohesive policy. It is a failure to not consider cartel related violence as equal to the suffering of those in Venuzuela. I think the Biden Administraion would also be wise to spend funds education folks with PSA’s in what these refugees are, people fleeing suffering. By not doing this, they help feed into the racist Republican trope that these folks are criminals and rapists. At the very least, the Administration has a moral obligation to help Mexico to help house and feed these folks in a humane manner.
Thanks much for your comments and support as always Bobby. Great point on at least helping housing people. To be honest, I was angling this story at Biden because he is in power but I think it goes even deeper and whoever is in power will have a difficult situation. The first thing is people need to be more aware of what is actually going on. You are right there is not a good sense of this complex situation in much of the media. Un abrazo amigo.
Thanks always Ioan. As someone that was born in Tijuana, and know those still suffering and those who got lost along the way, your reporting not only advocates on their behalf, but gives a voice to folks who aren’t heard. Thanks for giving them some dignity.

Tijuana - a fascinating city despite it all. I have another piece from TJ coming up next. Best there Bobby.
