Iowa has rejected a request from the Biden Administration’s continued attempt to grasp at anything that will help the problems they have caused at the border.
The Iowa governor is now stating that the crisis at the border is Biden’s problem, not theirs. She’s not wrong.
Late last week, Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds “said she has rejected a federal request to accept migrant children into the state, saying the need to find homes for them ‘is the president’s problem,’” per the Associated Press.
“This is not our problem,” Reynolds said, adding that the state does not have any temporary facilities to lend to the Department of Housing and Human Services. “This is the president’s problem. He’s the one that has opened the border, and he needs to be responsible for this and he needs to stop it.”
Iowa’s own Department of Human Services, it seems, made the decision, based on whether the state was equipped to respond to both local and federal needs amid a significant economic downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is due to limited resources and administrative concerns. We have an obligation to take care of our children first and absent the resources or a clear and comprehensive plan for federal support, we were unable to accommodate the request,” Iowa’s director of Human Services said in a statement to the White House. “We acknowledge this is an incredibly saddening and difficult situation.”

Fukk Covid Kim! Proving yet again, she is dumber than a box of hair and sitting first class on the Trump Train. Biden didnt open the borders. This has been an issue for decades. And now thst thete is a POTUS with an actual ounce of human empathy,, they feel that nowbisbthe time to flee their country of unspeakable conditions. Biden has told them now is not the time to come over here and has encouraged taking the legal approach….She’d rather separate families so they never see each other again. For a state who’s economy is impacted positively from all the migrants and illegals working in Iowa, maybe she should show a little empathy. But, instead, her party of pedopholes continue the great divide in this country. Sad.
Note: You mad bro?

Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi 1:33 PM · Aug 13, 2019
This hateful, bigoted rule is a direct assault on our nation’s proud heritage as a beacon of hope and opportunity for all and a clear attempt to demonize and terrorize the newcomers who make America more American.
It will be swiftly challenged and defeated in the courts.

So suck it up, Brett, Nancy Pelosi is the one responsible for all those families being separated at the border.
Nobody else but her, since she is the one who controls the purse strings and determines where the money is going to go and for what purpose.
Those people crashing the southern border are doing so because Nancy Pelosi invited them to do so in the belief that Nancy Pelosi wants them here to make America more American than the real Americans already here could ever hope to make it.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s response to President Donald Trump’s immigration speech, as delivered on Capitol Hill
Speaker Pelosi: The fact is: the women and children at the border are not a security threat, they are a humanitarian challenge — a challenge that President Trump’s own cruel and counterproductive policies have only deepened.
Emily Dickenson says
Get a clue, Brett. As most Trump-hating libs, you have the facts exactly WRONG. Do you purposefully stay ignorant of current political news, or are you just delusional? The current “POTUS” spent his first (illegitimate) week in office signing every EO that was placed in front of him undoing every policy Trump instituted. One of which was increased security at our boarders. Holding facilities for illegals were not overflowing under Trump, like they are currently ( and also during Obama’s reign). You spout a line of emotional rhetoric that has no basis in truth- but we don’t expect anything else from you and your socialist ilk.

JFC, would someone please give the Libs here on the CCM a spelling / grammar checker?

You got a problem?

I thought it was pretty obvious.
Paul Plante says
Unspeakable conditions, dude?
You are talking about the SOCIALIST UTOPIAS hose very same people created for themselves on the stupid belief that a SOCIALIST SY STEM would set them somehow free of their poverty, when all it did was saddled them with the “unspeakable conditions” they are now fleeing from, bringing their political poison here with them in the process.
So please, dude, don’t try to give us a guilt trip in here.
Those people created their bed, now let them sleep in it.
We don’t need them here.
And yes, it is Nancy Pelosi who opened the floodgates by making it quite clear that those people would be welcome here, as Democrats.
You ought to do yourself a favor and study some history to see exactly how it is that those same people created those unspeakable conditions FOR THEMSELVES by their own ******* stupid choices that we have absolutely no responsibility for!
