Is it possible that they (Biden’s handlers) came up with this just to “rile up” conservatives for some reason, and they’re not really serious.

If an illegal family of 4 invades the USA, Fed.gov will give them $1.8 million. Join the army voluntarily, go to war in the mideast for a POS Bush or Obama, lose an arm or a leg, and Fed.gov will give you purple heart worth 10 bucks.

something is fundamentally wrong here.

Biden doesn’t use my money very wisely. I think I’m going to stop giving it to him.

The children were sent to a fixed number of locations, which the lawyers knew. Pictures of mom & dad could have been sent to these locations. Children above about the age of three would recognize their parents.
