Additional semi-permanent (soft-sided) capacity may be added if necessary, though ORR will always prioritize placing children in hard-sided structures over semi-permanent structures,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSemi-permanent (soft-sided) capacity\u201d is a euphemism for \u201ctent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/03\/biden-administration-to-open-facility-for-migrant-children\/amp\/\">reminded<\/a> readers that the \u201cTrump administration&nbsp;faced considerable criticism&nbsp;over its use of temporary shelters, also known as \u2018tent cities,\u2019 in towns across the southern border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple outlets excoriated the Trump administration for the tents, reporting the facilities were a waste of money. NBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/storyline\/immigration-border-crisis\/trump-admin-s-tent-cities-cost-more-keeping-migrant-kids-n884871\">reported<\/a> in June 2018, \u201cSeparating migrant kids from their parents will cost the administration more than placing them in permanent structures or keeping them with their parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sustained criticism of the Trump administration began when a photo and article about kids being kept in cages was circulated on social media to claim then-President Donald Trump was heartless. The photo and the article were actually from 2014, when Barack Obama was president. Nevertheless, Democrats and their media supporters used the migrant facilities as a cudgel against the Trump administration, blasting it for separating kids from families.<\/p>\n<p>The children were separated because they entered the country along with their parents, who were detained for the crime. Instead of sending the children to prison with their parents, the kids were sent to the temporary facilities, which quickly filled up when the economy began to improve.<\/p>\n<p>The HHS\u2019s Office of Refugee Resettlement also said in its statement that it \u201cis mindful of these children\u2019s vulnerability, and our priority is the safety and wellbeing of each child in our care. HHS anticipates the need to start placing children at Carrizo Springs in 15 days or soon after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The media is not treating the Biden administration the same way it treated the Trump administration. The New York Times this week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/02\/01\/us\/immigration-family-separations-biden.html\">reported<\/a> on the situation with an article titled, \u201cSeparated Families: A Legacy Biden Has Inherited From Trump.\u201d The outlet reported that separated families are now demanding \u201crestitution, mental health services and green cards as compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Obama administration also separated families, and in 2019, Sam Vinograd, a former member of Obama\u2019s National Security Council, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/former-obama-official-defends-previous-ashe-schow\">defended<\/a> her former boss\u2019 policy, saying the separations were \u201cfor their protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen President Obama separated children from their families, Wolf, or from adults, Wolf, it was for their protection. It was if there was a risk of trafficking or other kind of harm that might have been incurred,\u201d Vinograd said to CNN\u2019s Wolf Blitzer. \u201cBut even if he did do that, why is Donald Trump saying that two wrongs make a right? Again, Obama wasn\u2019t wrong, but so he\u2019s saying that because something happened under President Obama, he\u2019s repeating it and upping the ante. That\u2019s an incredibly poor excuse. He\u2019s systemized that inhumane treatment that, again, Obama was doing to protect the children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is zero evidence that absolutely every separation under Obama was to get children away from traffickers and absolutely every separation under Trump was done for whatever racist intentions the media impugns onto Trump. In fact,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsgac.senate.gov\/download\/majority-and-minority-staff-report_-protecting-unaccompanied-alien-children-from-trafficking-and-other-abuses-the-role-of-the-office-of-refugee-resettlement\">a Senate report<\/a>&nbsp;from January 2016, while Obama was still president, found that the Department of Health and Human Services had actually&nbsp;<em>given<\/em>&nbsp;more than a dozen immigrant children to human traffickers because it failed to adequately conduct background checks.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
