Representative Linda Sanchez Thursday on CNN's "Newsroom" that it was not appropriate for journalists to be inside centers that are housing the surge of unaccompanied children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Anchor Poppy Harlow asked, "My last question is so transparency All of our reporters down there have been asking nonstop to get into these facilities where Alejandro Mayorkas said are not meant for children. Are you concerned over the lack of transparency?".
Sanchez said, "I will tell you under the Trump administration, members of Congress were not allowed inside these facilities."
Harlow interjected, "But that doesn't mean anything now, respectfully congresswoman. Clearly, you were upset about that lack of transparency. Are you concerned about this lack of transparency?".
Harlow pressed, "Some of them are being held there longer than they are legally supposed to be."
Sanchez said, "They are doing the best they can under COVID protocols. If it were not a pandemic, I would totally understand the concern, but we're dealing in a unique set of circumstances that are unprecedented. You can't fault an administration that is doing everything humanly possible to treat these kids in a humane way given the limitations that they have because of COVID.".
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
