Exactly. Having a mass of people--whose numbers already are about half the entire population of Del Rio, Texas (and 31% of Del Rio's population is under the age of 18), and growing daily--camped in the dirt and mud in a confined space under the Del Rio bridge, without tents, clean water, or food, bathing and going to the bathroom in the river, and absolutely overwhelming the capacity of the border patrol, does not make for a good photo-op for the current administration.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 2:38 pmThese leftist scum never do anything because it is the right thing to do. There is some other reason they changed coarse on it. The other two MSM outlets aren't covering the border issue anyway. It doesn't fit in the democrat propaganda campaign.Rafe wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 2:27 pmActually, the ban is not lifted; it remains in force through September 30: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_1_9857.html. But Fox News requested and was given a special clearance, called an SGI Waiver. The ban went into effect as of 5:30 p.m. Central on Thursday then on Friday, as you noted, law enforcement on the ground let Fox and and a couple of other news outlets accompany them on periodic helo flyovers. Shortly after that the FAA approved Fox's SGI Waiver...one wonders if it's because they realized they couldn't stop the cameras anyway.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 2:01 pm They did lift the ban. The first day of it Fox was invited into the DPS helicopter. FAA reversed coarse the next day. The ban was aparently the brain child of Pete Buttigieg.
But wait! A few minutes ago the White House announced they were sending an additional 400 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to Del Rio to help with what is expected to be 17,000 migrants as of tomorrow. Man. It's a really good thing that Uncle Joe is a strategic genius! Otherwise, we might have screwed up a lot of stuff in just the less than 8 months he's been in office...
