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!

if its cheaper to send them back, then send them back
so let him pay to send them home.
why would he? they’ll love obama for giving them everything and he can ensure that he gets the majority vote everytime.
he doesn’t he wants to overload the welfare system! Take a military transport and load them up and take them back where they belong.
don’t come with were americans we have to do this its humanitarian bull fly them home make up ur own laws like bama
Bus all of them to the White House and let them out there make every one in Congress take some home with them and let a bunch of them stay in the White House with Obama and Michelle then see how he likes it
Herd them up drive them South of our Border just like the western movies. They walked more than the length of Mexico without food nor water to get here. Since they are experienced travelers, the return walk should be a snap. Does not cost a thing other than the herding.
Are you awake yet America ?? Obama planned this. This is what he wanted. Why would he send them home? This is just another blow to our economy. With Obamas name on it !!! The POS is getting exactly what he wants. TO DESTROY US !!!!!!!
His plan for the total destruction of AmeriKa is right on cours.
His plan is to disperse them over the US. They will be much harder to track down.
