Instead of simply driving the illegals to an airport and flying them back to their country, which would cost for one-half of 1 percent of the $3.8 billion Obama wants – Obama wants to house the illegals at a cost of $250 per day per person.
Makes one think he doesn’t want to send them home, doesn’t it?
Most of his proposal is to pay living expenses. At the unofficial reported cost of $250 per person per day, President Barack Obama is proposing we spend $1.8 billion “to provide appropriate care for unaccompanied children.” That works out to 19,726 minors for a year. (The official term for them, written into federal statute, is “undocumented alien children.” Not undocumented immigrants, migrants or refugees. Those other terms are efforts at propaganda.)
In addition, Obama wants another $879 million “for detention and removal of apprehended undocumented adults traveling with children,” and “alternatives to detention programs” for these adults. He blends “removal” with “detention” to make it impossible to determine how many removals are planned.
If the money is all for detention, then the $250 per person reveals the plan is to house 9,632 adults for a year at taxpayers’ expense.
Combine 19,726 minors with 9,632 adults and you have 29,358 people. But it gets worse. The request is for a “supplemental appropriation.” In budget lingo, that typically means it’s for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. If these funds don’t cover a full year, either the cost per person is much higher or the number of people is much higher.
If the daily cost per person is less than $250, then the small city of illegal aliens we’re supporting will be larger than 29,358.
Although Obama asks for lots of money to take care of people permanently, he gives zero details about a timeframe for deporting or repatriating any of the persons involved.
The $250 a day figure compares with the $667 one-way cost of an airline ticket from McAllen, Texas, to Guatemala City, Guatemala, according to both Orbitz and Priceline. The combined airfare for 29,358 passengers would be $19.6 million. That is one-half of 1 percent of President Obama’s overall $3.8 billion request. Volume discounts and government rates would yield even lower fares. But even without discounts, sending everyone home right away saves taxpayers 99.5 percent!

Future Dem voters!
Putting a boot in there hind ends and sending them back to Mexico is free.
Let Obama want in one hand and spit in the other and see which one gets full first! We have freaking transport planes that can take all of the little bastards back and dump them at the freakin airports!! Let their OWN governments worry about feeding them and clothing them and finding their parents!!!
OK, I am against it just as much as the next person but calling them wetbacks and saying to shoot them all is just wrong. These are children. I am a Republican through and through but I don’t speak like that because I do have some compassion on the innocent bystanders who get caught in the cross fire of our government. I agree with this post but not the tacky, crude language that some republicans have followed with. You people don’t represent me.
I live on $10 a day
Send the all back!!!
sorry for the kids but we have kids starving in this country, send them home, ALL OF THEM they are ILLEAGEL
THE SCUMBAMA REGIME WANT’S TO PLANT SO MANY ILLEGALS THRUOUT THE COUNTRY IT WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE ALL OF THEM… WE ARE NEARLY AT THAT POINT ALREADY IF YOU JUST LOOK AROUND, EVEN IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD… HIS REGIME IS TRYING TO SIMPLY OVERWHELM AMERICA AND AMERICANS AND IS ACTUALLY GETTING AWAY WITH IT.. MOST CONSERVATIVES SEE IT, SOME ARE REBELLING SUCH AS IN MURRIETA CA, BUT IT’S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH…. TO BE HONEST SCUMBAMA IS GOING TO CAUSE MUCH MORE BLOODSHED IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA., JUST WAIT AND SEE… HIS GOAL TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER IS HAPPENING, DIVIDING LOCAL LAWENFORCEMENT FROM THE CITIZENS THEY PROTECT IS A GOOD EXAMOLE….. BY THE TIME THE REAL DESTRUCTION IS HAPPENING HE WILL BE OUT OF OFFICE… I BELIEVE HE COULD EVEN BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY… THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS GOING TO FACE MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANYONE CAN EVER IMAGINE AS SCUMBAMA HAS ALREADY HAD NEARLY 6 YEARS TO DESTROY THE VERY FOUNDATION OF AMERICA… IT WON’T BE COMPLETELY EXPOSED UNTIL THE COMING FEW YEARS AND WILL NEARLY BE INSURMOUNTABLE… JUST REMEMBER THIS, AND JUST LOOK AT ALL HE HAS DONE SO FAR, MORE SCANDALS THAN CAN BE HANDLED, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES WE KNOW OF… LOT’S OF AMERICANS , ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG, IMMATURE, AND BASICALLY STUPID, ARE TAKING IT LIGHTLY BUT THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE PAYING A DEAR PRICE AND WONDERING WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED.
Typical! He must own the facilities and he’s charging the rent!
Likely ANY plan would be cheaper than one that Obama has anything to do with…!
