Psaki's message to Latin American migrants: ‘This is not the time to come to the United States'

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday now is “not the time” for Latin American parents to send their children north to the U.S. border. 

"We don’t have the processing we need at the border, obviously we're continuing to struggle with facilities to ensure that we're abiding by Covid protocols," Psaki continued.  Psaki also faced questions on the newly reopened child migrant facility previously used under the Trump administration. The facility is being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17, according to The Washington Post.
