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!
Send them back! We have generous emigration laws…they need to get in line.
This is a diversion for something bigger going on behind the scenes.
WE COULD JUST SHOOT THEM OUT OF A CANNON BACK ACROSS THE BORDER THAT WOULD BE EVEN CHEAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s crazy… That money is going to go other directions and once he has it we are cooked.
AND does it close borders
…..NO. Things will continue. He wants us in ruin period!
what kind of $#%&!@* is this?our country is broke.
fly them home and they them jump from the plane because they will not lets us lane……use the buddy system ,,,share the cute,,,dont have a buddy fine one or you wont like the landing.
THAT’S BECAUSE OBAMA AND HIS FILTHY REGIME ARE ROBBING AMERICA !!~ THEY WILL TAKE THE 99 AND ONE HALF % FOR PAY OFFS TO VOTER FRAUD !!` AND TO BACK TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS !!~ THEN SPLIT WHATEVER IS LEFT BETWEEN THE FILTHY OBAMA REGIME!!~ AND THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION !!~
