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!

Do it.
Why we need a secure border and sovereignty: I pray to God every day also, I pray for him to continue to bestow his grace upon the only free republic created through his grace and majesty. We must protect our sovereignty, why, because without the USA many oppressed peoples in many countries would not have the hope of salvation from their oppressors. I agree we need to help these illegals, but to absorb their need is not what God expects us to do, he expects us to give them the strength to stand up and deliver their countries from tyranny, it is only when the peoples of a nation rise up and are willing to fight and die for freedom, that they will truly be free. To flee from the problem and to transfer burden from one geographical location to another is not self serving or God serving, it is merely a moment of desperation rather than a lifetime of sacrificed earned freedom. Until the world is free, we the USA will help those nations to arm them with their own sovereignty with freedom, democracy, and liberty, until then, if we are unable to stand alone, we are unable to help those who need America, thus the world will suffer greatly.
