It speaks to the seriousness of the situation at the border that President Biden responded to NBC News’s Kristen Welker’s question about giving the media access to facilities there by saying he would only do so once conditions there have changed and his administration’s policies have been implemented. Asked when that would be, Biden replied “I don’t know.”

Biden has been president for 65 days now. Why haven’t his new, supposedly more humane border policies been implemented? And why isn’t our hallowed free press allowed to observe what’s happening there under his watch? What exactly is going on down there?
