When Trump did it, it was a humanitarian crisis. It was fascistic. It was racist. It was cruel. The cries about kids in cages that Obama built echoed in the liberal media echo chamber. You could hear the ‘this isn’t who we are’ talking points being drafted by Democrats. Well, when it comes to border enforcement, it is who we are or at least it should be. Sorry, no one has a right to come here no one. You come here legally. You do not endanger your family or kids trekking thousands of miles and risking sexual assault, death, and capture by human traffickers.

Fox & Friends Weekend hosted Bristol County, Massachusetts, Sheriff Thomas Hodgson to attack the Biden administration.
Rather than ask anything about the specific case in which detainees were indiscriminately subjected to pepper balls and police dogs, an incident in which Hodgson himself was directly involved, Fox provided him a platform for his conspiracy theory about a “political hit job” by the Biden administration, and for him to promote an organization of right-wing sheriffs.
The Washington Post reported last week that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to immediately terminate its contract with the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office in Massachusetts and to transfer the few remaining detainees elsewhere. He also directed ICE to rescind an agreement with the sheriff’s office that trained deputies to screen inmates arrested for crimes to see if they are also eligible for deportation.” Civil rights groups have opposed t
