From all accounts this is not a true statement. Biden stated unattended children will not be left to their own defenses. The media is reporting and showing facilities. I don't know where you are getting your news/reports.

Like others here have mentioned, this has been a problem for a long time. IMO trump made it worse by totally having people camped out at the border. That alone made the impact greater.
