Democratic presidential nominee JoeBiden vowed to create a task force to reunite more than 500 children who were separated from their families at the US-Mexico border by the Trump administration and whose parents have not been located. USElection

Separations happened both before and after Trump unveiled a"zero tolerance" policy to prosecute all illegal border crossers in May 2018, only to quickly reverse it after an international outcry.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued over the matter in 2018 and US District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego, California, ordered the families be reunited. There are around 4 000 children who could fall under the reunification order, but as of October 20 parents of 545 children could not be reached by attorneys and non-profits searching for them, according to a court filing in the San Diego case.

"On his first day as President, Joe Biden will issue an Executive Order creating a federal task force to reunite these children with their parents," the Biden campaign said. Here’s the new Biden/Harris family separation ad, if you haven’t seen it, calling for the creation of a federal task force to reunite on day one if they win. Multiple current career government officials told me today they would join immediately if asked.

Total’s gas find not first prize for energy giant, but it’s great news for SAThe question now is whether SA is up to the task Corrupt greedy vultures are probably circling above this deal. The ordinary people will benefit nothing from this. This is South Africa. Just wait until PresidencyZA’s ministers claim their free carry... I pray that by the time the fiscus receives income from this project that we have honest and competent public servants to deploy these funds for the benefit of all the people in SA and not just the incompetent looters in the ANC. They have given clowns a bad name.
