The numbers of migrant children crossing the border has become a crisis for the Biden administration for which there is no good answer.  Taking them in increases heat from Republicans and conservatives.  Sending them back is a humanitarian failure.  No matter what the White House decides to do, it can't win.  There is a need for strong communication to the public on whatever choice is taken.  If the administration continues to take children in, it needs to point vigorously to the moral duty to protect them.  If it decides to hold them back, it will need to outweigh cries of activists and advocates defending the rights of minors.  The pawns in this crisis -- the young -- have been sent over by their parents in a desperate attempt to give them a better life.  That is the hope of America, but the country has not been welcoming for too many years.  The Trump administration dumped the problem into Biden's lap and now is pillorying him.  Some problems are intractable.  This is one.
