Our country is probably providing food and shelter. Heck, we're probably recruiting the kids and paying them.
The plan has been simmering for a year or more, no doubt about it. I suspect we're paying the parents, coaxing them into sending their kids off on a journey to our border. "Separating" families just so they can serve as justification for a law to reunite them here in the U.S.
Just like the Gunwalker / Fast & Furious stuff, intended to provide certain needed results and statistics - all to match the administration's agenda.
