    Biden task force has reunited 52 families separated under Trump: report

    The Biden administration’s Family Reunification Task Force has reportedly reunited 52 families that were separated under former President Trump, up from just seven families in June.


    The update was included in a new report from “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday, in which correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviews Michelle Brane, the chair of the task force.

    Alfonsi reported that 52 families separated in 2018 under the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy have been reunited since the task force was created in February.

    Brane warned that up to 1,500 or more families remain apart, noting it is difficult to discern a specific number because of the lack of records from the Trump administration.

    “We estimate that over 1,000, somewhere between 1,000, 1,500 maybe more remain separated. It's very hard to know because there's no record,” Brane told Alfonsi.

    The task force has identified 82 families that it believes will be reunified, according to the report.

    In June, a report from the Department of Homeland Security revealed that more than 2,100 children had still not been reunified with their families, to the task force’s knowledge. Roughly 2,800 children were taken from their parents under the 2018 policy, though the actual number may be higher.

    Brane said that because there was no system in place in 2018 for documenting family separations, officials are now left without a database or system to consult when determining who was separated.

    “What happened was that there was no system in place for documenting separations. So there's nowhere to go to find out who was separated or not. It really is case-by-case detective work,” she said, adding that the situation is “shocking.”

    Alfonsi cited a federal investigation into the government’s record-keeping during the child separations, which was found to be “ad-hoc.” One border station reportedly “used a whiteboard” to keep track of children, according to “60 Minutes.”

    Additionally, phone numbers, addresses and names for parents were reportedly missing.

    Brane also said it is difficult to locate the parents of children who were separated at the border because the young kids are with sponsors who they refer to as “mommy and daddy.”

    “In many cases, these children are with sponsors who they now call mommy and daddy, right? And so it's not as simple as just saying, ‘Gonna put you on a plane, and reunify you, and then we're done,’” she said.
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    Scandals from top to bottom in Joe Biden's cabinet of horror
    How many of his admin or associates have been charged with crimes or arrested and how many times has he been impeached?

    That’s only a great example of what a ridiculous hypocrite you are.

    Buckwheat? That is a racist comment if I ever heard one.

    Politico is far from "ultra liberal" it may lean slightly to the left but it is far from "ultra liberal" that is just more of your brainwashed mind clouding your judgement.

    Keep wishing you utter buffoon. The WSJ was bought out by your puppet master Rupert Murdock and since then has lost most of its credibility. Of course, you would have no idea because you live if a bubble of false reality.

    The CRS report doesn't directly name Biden or indicate he owns back taxes, but that's the allegation being made by Republicans after reviewing it
    As we know, Republicans allege the "election was stolen" and "the government are covering up Ivermectin", so that's about as useful as any of the shit you post.

    The scandal is Biden pushing for a change to a questionable tax maneuver that he himself is trying to change but using it himself to get out of $500,000 in taxes.

    If you would keep up on the news you would know most Republicans legislators don’t believe the election was stolen.

    The scandal is that you're fucking dumb enough to not read the shit you post, which says none of that.

    And you know there are plenty that still claim it is when they know it's bollocks.

    So don't try being disingenuous, you look stupid enough already.

    It's nothing to do with Biden or Buttigieg, you simpleton. You can't just build or expand ports overnight.

    The forces overloading the world’s ports

    Two long-term trends have been inflating the number of containers loaded or unloaded on the average ship—also known as the ship’s “call size”—even before the pandemic. First, container ships are getting bigger, which has dramatically increased their maximum capacity. Second, the shipping industry has consolidated: just 10 companies that now control 80% of all shipping. These (more profitable) shipping giants are using their market power to make their shipping routes as efficient as possible (for them) which means filling their ships as close to maximum capacity as possible.

    Then the pandemic kicked this into overdrive. Demand for consumer goods rose, especially via e-commerce, straining supply chains. Space onboard container ships became scarce and expensive, which incentivized shipping lines to cram every available inch with cargo to maximize the amount of revenue they could squeeze out of their slow, arduous journeys through backlogged ports.

    More cargo, more problems


    The problem is infrastructure: Ports simply aren’t built to unload ships carrying so many containers. “It’s a big stress factor,” said Mooney.

    Every berth at a port has a fixed number of cranes, whether a ship comes in with 1,000 containers or 10,000. That means ports can’t ramp up their capacity to meet the demands of ships carrying more containers. Similarly, shipyards have limited space to stack and sort containers. The more containers, the greater the logistical challenge of stacking, unstacking, and restacking containers to keep them organized.

    More bottlenecks wait just outside the port. Roads and highways leading into a port may not have enough capacity to handle the
    surge of trucks that come in to pick up or drop off containers when a tightly packed ship comes in. The intermodal terminals connecting ports and railroads may also get clogged with the sudden spike in traffic.


    In general, Asian ports have been better able to handle the surge in containers. That’s partly because Asian ports tend to be decades newer than North American ports, says Mooney, built during the era when ships carried smaller cargo loads. Labor is also cheaper and less protected in countries like
    China, which makes it easier for ports to hire more workers and switch to 24-hour operations whenever they have a backlog. A third factor is that Asian ports focus on exporting while North American ports do more importing. It’s simpler for ports to load exports compared to the logistical challenge of unloading imported containers onto trucks and trains bound for different destinations.

    Cargo ships are so full that ports are struggling to unload them — Quartz

    It has everything to do with Biden and Buttigieg as they are the ones who are tasked with solving the problem and as my post points out they have absolutely no experience in the transportation industry. Quit trying to defend the indefensible and look at the facts for once.

    I'll tell you what it needs you gibbering retard:

    An INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.

    There is nigh on $12 Billion for ports in the Biden Infrastructure bill.

    Perhaps if your fat orange god hadn't reneged on yet another false election promise they might be getting expanded as we speak.

    Christ you know nothing do you? All you listen to is this fucking bollocks from right wing attack shops.

    All destructive, never creative.

    Republicans are a cancer on America.
