Sen. Cotton: FEMA Deployment to Border Acknowledges 'Disaster'

The Biden administration is admitting the immigration situation at the nation's border with Mexico is a disaster by its decision to deploy the Federal Emergency Management Agency there, Sen. Tom Cotton said Monday.

"That's what it is when you deploy FEMA, a disaster," the Arkansas Republican said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "They are by their own declaration admitting it's a disaster."

The Biden administration has refused to refer to the high numbers of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the border as a crisis, but Saturday night, the Department of Homeland Security announced that FEMA would be sent in to help with the situation.

Almost 4,000 unaccompanied migrant children are currently being held in border detention facilities, in addition to 8,500 children being kept at longer-term Health and Human Services shelters, reports The Washington Post.

"We were building a wall and turning away all migrants who had no right to cross into our country," Cotton said Monday. "The Biden border crisis, though, was created by Joe Biden's promises of amnesty and open borders, free healthcare for illegals during the campaign. That's why border crossings have increased every month since the election."

Meanwhile, the "contrast is remarkable" between President Joe Biden's administration and that of former President Donald Trump's, said Cotton.

"The Biden administration stopped building a wall on our southern border, and they put up fences around our Capitol," said Cotton. "So I guess walls don't work if it's defending American sovereignty, but they work just fine protecting Democratic politicians. The contrast couldn't be starker."

There is, he added, no need for National Guard troops to remain at the Capitol, where they have remained stationed since the Jan. 6 attack during the confirmation of the Electoral College's vote for Biden.

"I've repeatedly asked the Capitol Hill security leaders what is the specific and credible threat to the Capitol complex that requires this extraordinary step," he said. "They say there is no specific, credible threat. They cite general or vague concerns, and now they continue to cite the prospect that Joe Biden will be addressing a joint session of Congress. Look, if we keep thousands of National Guard troops in a sense around the Capitol until Joe Biden is finally ready to speak in public, they may be there for a very long time."

Cotton on Monday also discussed his grilling of Vanita Gupta, a former Justice Department civil rights child and nominee for the department's number-three leadership position.

During his questioning, Cotton asked her about her past comments concerning "implicit racial bias" and asked her if she harbors biases of her own.

She responded that she is "quite aware" that she holds stereotypes but that she is a "product of her culture" and that "all of us are able to manage the bias but only if we can acknowledge our own."

Cotton said Monday he learned from her response that the "emperor has no clothes."

"When I asked her very simply against which races do you hold racial bias, obviously, she got tongue-tied, couldn't answer the question," he added.

"It just goes to expose what a foolish claim it is to slander our entire nation, to say that every single person has racial biases, as opposed to saying America is a great nation and Americans are a good people," said Cotton. "This is a radical, trust fund liberal nominee who will use the laws of the United States to advance her far-left agenda. That's why she faces such opposition on our committee and in the Senate as a whole. This is not the kind of person that Americans expect to be enforcing our laws."

Not in the prog world. The Federal Emergency Managment Agency has nothing to do with emergencies, unless a Republican is president. It is pretty easy to figure these guys out. Look at a given situation and figure out the absolute dumbest interpretation or response and you will have the prog viewpoint. Mind you, progs are experts at styupid, so they will often find a dumber alternative than you could imagine.

There is nothing Joe Biden loves more than complaining about problems that he has created over the last 50 years. The guy who authored the '94 Crime Bill is the same one who complains about how systemically racist the country is. This is just his most recent example.

With zero Repugnantcans voting for the stimulus package, are the forum Conservitards returning the $1,400 checks to the Treasury?

Crisis? Not really. It doesn't effect any of you, other than cheaper produce prices. You don't know any of these people. You will never see any of these people. None of these people have ever taken your job, nor will they. It's a nominal amount of people that more or less have zero effect on anything.

I was right.

Cole: ?It's a nominal amount of people that more or less have zero effect on anything.

On December 31, 2019, a total of 31,458
federal prisoners were non-citizens of the
United States (18% of all BOP prisoners),

-------------------------

We have record numbers of illegals showing up at the border since Biden has taken office and the lack of curiosity on the part of the media is pretty much exactly where you would think it would be.

When Trump was in office and the caravans were instructed to head to the border media crews were everywhere. Those same outlets don't seem to have any interest anymore, mostly due to the fact that so few of them do any actual journalism anymore.

nobodyelse aligned with the insurrectionist trash and whining about the same old $hit. (note "figures" from 2019 so a couple years into Qrump admin)

Not sure where his $hit stats come from but it was designed to get his orange blood pulsing.

Feb 2020--37k illegals, Feb 2021 100K illegals, maybe a trend queercreep!!!

You do realize there are 45 million of non citizens here legally, don't you? If there are 14 million undocumented and half of them are people who overstayed their visas, that makes roughly 7 million that come from Central America. Like I said, you have never seen them, they won't take your jobs and you will never even know they live in the US.

Take heart everyone. This will prove to be only the first of many disasters that we will see under Biden. The potential one that I am most worried about is China attacking Taiwan. They wouldn't do that with Trump in office and they know that we will most likely replace Harris with someone with a spine and a brain in 2024. So now is their sweet spot. They might try to wait until Harris moves up though.

It already happened under Trump and he swept it under the rug.

Cotton is a twat. Who cares what that twat has to say....
