但責任在哪裡，他責備唐納德-特朗普為總統，拜登實際上使情況變得更糟。

And does he need to acknowledge this is a problem with no obvious solution?

它打亂了它所創造的一切，離開的理由和延遲旅程的理由都部分地解釋了目前邊境上的激增，增加了毒品卡特爾，暴力，貧困和政治壓迫。

This audio obtained by Propublica reportedly came from inside a border facility in Texas.

據報道，Propublica獲得的這段音頻來自德克薩斯州的一個邊境設施內。

During the Trump Administration, you can hear Children separated from their parents and calling out for them This was one of the most divisive moments of Donald Trump's presidency.

在特朗普政府期間，你可以聽到與父母分離的兒童，併為他們呼喊這是唐納德-特朗普總統任期內最分裂的時刻之一。

And after the Ferrari, he stopped the child separation policy, though not before.

而在法拉利之後，他就停止了兒童分離政策，不過之前。

Hundreds of Children have been taken from their parents, and Joe Biden led the condemnation.

數百名兒童被從父母身邊帶走，喬-拜登帶頭譴責。

And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents.

而現在他們卻找不到500多套這樣的父母。

And those kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere to go.

而那些孩子都是孤身一人，無處可去，無處可去。

It's criminal, it's criminal, and it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation.

這是犯罪，這是犯罪，它讓我們成為笑柄，違反了我們作為一個國家的所有概念。

如果還不夠清楚的話，他還說過這樣一句話，一個國家說，如果你要逃，你要逃壓迫，你就應該好好來。

Now Joe Biden is president and he's taken immediate action.

現在喬-拜登當上了總統，他立即採取了行動。

We're going to work to undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration that literally not figuratively rip Children from the arms of their families, their mothers and fathers at the border.

我們將努力撤銷上屆政府的道德和國家恥辱，從字面上而不是象徵性地將兒童從其家庭的懷抱中撕裂，他們的母親和父親在邊境。

This all got a lot of attention, as did that shift in the policy on unaccompanied Children and later the president.

這一切都引起了很多人的關注，就像那個無人陪伴兒童政策的轉變，以及後來的總統一樣。

Look, to add to his message, I can say quite clearly, don't come.

Don't leave your town or city or community.

不要離開你的城鎮或城市或社區。

So first come, then don't come until we tell you to.

所以先來後到，不叫你來就別來。

All while changing the rules on Children and the Republican Senator Mitt Romney has tweeted, the Biden administration's lack of understanding of the power of incentives continues to baffle me.

在改變兒童規則的同時，共和黨參議員米特-羅姆尼在推特上表示，拜登政府對激勵機制的力量缺乏瞭解，這讓我繼續感到困惑。

Allowing unaccompanied minors to stay in the U.

允許無人陪伴的未成年人留在美國。

S.

S.

Will yield a flood of unaccompanied minors.

將產生大量無人陪伴的未成年人。

It's de facto child separation policy, he argues.

他認為，這是事實上的兒童分離政策。

Now, as we've seen, the data does appear to show a rise in the number of unaccompanied Children after that change of policy, and that rising arrivals means more Children are temporarily in facilities like this.

現在，正如我們所看到的，數據確實顯示，在政策改變後，孤身兒童的數量有所增加，而抵達者的增加意味著更多的兒童被臨時安置在這樣的設施中。

And on that, the White House had this to say it's not acceptable, but I think the challenge here is that there are there are not that many options.

而在這一點上，白宮有這樣的說法，不能接受，但我認為這裡的挑戰是，沒有那麼多的選擇。

The argument being the Trump administration didn't maintain sufficient facilities.

論點是特朗普政府沒有維護足夠的設施。

But the Trump administration is no longer in power, and it also didn't change the policy on unaccompanied Children and pressure is growing.

但特朗普政府已經不再執政，也沒有改變對無人陪伴兒童的政策，壓力越來越大。

The Democratic congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has tweeted about the Children's situation, saying, This is not okay.

民主黨國會議員亞歷山大-奧卡西奧-科爾特茲（Alexandria Ocasio Cortez）在推特上對兒童的情況進行了報道，她說，這是不對的。

He says he wants to show people what's happening and underlining all of this concern from across the U.

他說，他想向人們展示正在發生的事情，並強調所有這些來自美國各地的關注。

S.

S.

Political spectrum is the question of whether the president has perhaps been naive because, make no mistake, Americans load the child separation policy.

政治譜系的問題是，總統是否或許已經天真了，因為，美國人沒有錯，美國人加載了兒童分離政策。

Many of them wanted the Biden administration to treat Children differently to treat them better.

他們中的許多人希望拜登政府能以不同的方式對待兒童，以更好地對待他們。

But changing the policy straightaway before facilities already risked an influx and risk Children ending up in unacceptable conditions.

但是，在設施已經有湧入的風險之前，直接改變政策，有可能使兒童在不可接受的條件下結束。

And some would argue it also doesn't address the more fundamental issue here because the border between the US and Mexico is largely closed at the moment.

而且有人會說，這也沒有解決這裡更根本的問題，因為目前美國和墨西哥之間的邊境基本關閉。

That's because of the pandemic, and so thousands of people are waiting in makeshift camps like these.

那是因為疫情，所以成千上萬的人在這樣的臨時營地裡等待。

But of course, the border won't stay closed forever.

但當然，邊境不會永遠關閉。

And when it opens, just like his predecessors, Joe Biden will need to outline how he plans to manage America's borders when many, many people want to get in.

而當它打開時，就像他的前任一樣，喬-拜登將需要概述他計劃如何管理美國的邊境，當許多人想要進入時。

As Sabrina Rodriguez writes in Politico, Biden is facing the reality that building the fair and humane immigration system he promised on the campaign trail is a huge undertaking.

正如薩布麗娜-羅德里格斯（Sabrina Rodriguez）在《政治家》雜誌上所寫的那樣，拜登正面臨著這樣的現實：他在競選時承諾的建立公平和人道的移民制度是一項巨大的工程。

Migrants aren't gonna stop coming just because his officials say they shouldn't, she argues, nor progressives and Republicans going to stay quiet just because he asks for patients to that.

移民不會因為他的官員說他們不應該停止來，她認為，進步人士和共和黨人也不會因為他要求病人到而保持沉默。

Some would add that while the work on the border is urgent, it's actually America's role in the region beyond its borders.

有人會補充說，雖然邊境上的工作很緊迫，但實際上是美國在邊境以外地區的作用。

That may offer the longer term solution.

這可能會提供較長期的解決方案。

Have a listen to Jonathan Blitzer from The New Yorker.

聽聽《紐約客》裡的喬納森-布利策。

This problem is not going anywhere.

We've neglected all of the realities in the region that we've had a hand in for decades, and all of the consequences of that are announcing themselves at the southern border.

我們忽視了幾十年來我們參與的該地區的所有現實，而所有這些現實的後果正在南部邊境宣佈。

And they do periodically 2014 2019.

而他們確實定期2014年2019年。

Now they'll continue.

現在他們會繼續。

Biden's pitch to the American people was in part simply that he wasn't Donald Trump, that he'd follow the science on the pandemic, that he'd stopped spreading misinformation.

拜登對美國人民的宣傳部分只是說，他不是唐納德-特朗普，他將遵循科學的流行病，他將停止傳播錯誤的資訊。

This was a low bar.

這是個低門檻。

Immigration is harder, much harder and cramped detention centers.

移民難了，難多了，拘留所也狹窄了。

Filling up with unaccompanied Children is a long way from Joe Biden's vision of America.

充滿無人陪伴的兒童，與喬-拜登的美國願景相去甚遠。

But that's what's happening.

但這就是事實。

And his next move matters both to those Children and his presidency, Yeah.

他的下一步行動對這些孩子和他的總統職位都很重要，是的。
