What is grotesque is 300,000 kids are missing because of Biden administration many of whom have been trafficked and YOU are responsible for supporting that administration.
Stop lying. You're just twisting the facts for partisan purposes.

During that period there were a total of 448,820 unaccompanied children released by ICE to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement.
