The spike in traffic poses a challenge to President Joe Biden at a fraught moment with Congress, which is about to take up immigration legislation, and has required the help of the American Red Cross,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>The AP noted that the convention center, named after former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, may begin holding immigrant teenagers as early as this week, keeping them for up to 90 days, according to a memo sent to members of the Dallas City Council. Boys aged 15 to 17 will be kept at the facility, which labels the site as a \u201cdecompression center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More from the AP:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19.63503649635\">\n<p><em>The Health and Human Services Department is rushing to open facilities across the country to house immigrant children who are otherwise being held by the Border Patrol, which is generally supposed to detain children for no more than three days. The Border Patrol is holding children longer because there is next to no space in the HHS system, similar to the last major increase in migration two years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/immigration-coronavirus-pandemic-border-patrols-texas-9b959d739d59f03dd5873927171f2e29\">A tent facility<\/a>&nbsp;operated by the Border Patrol in Donna, some 500 miles (804 kilometers) south of Dallas, is holding more than 1,000 children and teenagers, some as young as 4. Lawyers who inspect immigrant detention facilities under a court settlement say they interviewed children who reported being held in packed conditions in the tent, with some sleeping on the floor and others not able to shower for five days.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As The Daily Wire\u2019s Joseph Curl has previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/wapo-during-trump-kids-in-cages-wapo-during-biden-migrant-facility-for-children\">noted<\/a>, terminology surrounding minors and immigration has changed drastically under President Joe Biden. Under President Donald Trump, the media repeatedly used the phrase \u201ckids in cages.\u201d Yet, under Biden, terms like \u201cmigrant facility\u201d and \u201cdecompression center\u201d are used.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire contributor Ben Zeisloft also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/here-are-all-the-times-biden-and-harris-condemned-kids-in-cages-before-doing-the-same-thing\">noted<\/a> all the times Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris condemned holding \u201ckids in cages\u201d while Trump was president, even though they are now doing the same thing, under different terminology.<\/p>\n<p>Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday warned immigrants from coming to America right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not come now,\u201d Mayorkas said, adding, \u201cGive us the time to rebuild the system that was entirely dismantled in the prior administration.\u201d<\/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.
