Wharfie,
We've been underfunding them for years.
Here we go again.

Tax revenues are up significantly even compared to the Trump years.

Spending is up even MORE, which is creating trillion dollar deficits.

Yet the federal government is "underfunded"?

Give me a break.

Here's a keeper, Wharfie:

Teen migrant boy dies while in government custody in Florida (nypost.com)

It's tragic enough for a border crosser to die while in federal custody, and it's even worse when it's a teenage boy that is unaccompanied by parents or guardians.

But despite how bad that was, I want to focus on something else. From the article:
[Honduran secretary of foreign affairs Enrique] Reina called for a full investigation into the death Friday, and called for “solutions” to the growing migrant crisis.
I can save the Brandon administration tens of thousands of dollars:

1) The boy died because he was trying to escape the shithole that is Honduras.

2) The "solution" to the growing migrant crisis? Don't make your country a fuckin' shithole.

Think Brenda will do anything to push back on the dumbass Honduran official? After all, she's supposedly in charge of the border crisis ...
