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!

Stupid
he doesn’t want to send them home
they got here walking soooo
maybe he should spend the money he’s spending on vacations and not have the citizens (USA) should pay the price.
Obama is running a million dollar smuggling ring, paying the coyotes to transport these kids here. They are wearing Obama “Yes we can” sneakers!!!! He is supplying the coyotes with weapons that, so far, have not been traced to Fast and Furious, as they do NOT want anyone to know the true facts.. This is disgraceful act of TREASON act. Obama IS A TRAITOR AND LIAR FOR NOT DISCLOSING THE TRUE FACTS. THAT is why he refused to go to the border and speak with Perry!!!.
The buses can take them back, and cheaper also!!!!!
Put them on buses and send them to the white house. He allowed this to happen.
His plan is to have voters for the next 75 years to vote for Democrats!
No he doesnt want to send them back. Wants that money so he can pay their rent n give them walking around money. The clown is a piece of $#%&!@* n should be strung up and beat like a pinata
