WH: We don't intend to separate migrant families, even if that's what we're doing

[Counselor706]

The surge of would-be migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border is growing larger and larger. Many of those illegal crossers are unaccompanied minors, mostly in their early-to-mid teens. The Biden administration has adopted a policy of allowing all of them to stay in the United States. While some adults and families are returned to Mexico, all of the minors stay.

The result of Biden's policy is separated families. And this is from a president and administration officials who bitterly protested President Donald Trump's (brief) policy of separating families. For a short period, Trump separated migrant families before, in response to protest, re-uniting most of them. Biden is encouraging families to separate themselves.

Now, the White House says the family self-separations are an "unintended consequence" of the president's policy -- but that the policy will not change. "I don't think we have any intention to rethink our approach," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Thursday. Here is the full text of an exchange on the topic at the White House briefing:
