This piece rests on WaPo’s attribution of the recent surge in border crossings to Biden’s policy stances as the predominant driver of events and reticence to declare the Trump practice of expelling unaccompanied minors illegal, framing it instead as a useful but abandoned measure https://t.co/WycWMXUpQT— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) March 20, 2021
It also seems to be WaPo’s sotto voce editorial position that “hundreds of families crowded into squalid camps” just outside US territory is a policy win, whereas letting them out of those camps and beginning a legal adjudication process is a failure. pic.twitter.com/HZAAwBOjs6— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) March 20, 2021
