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!

Come on Jennifer, I haven’t seen anyone on here claim to be “Republican”! Ever heard of a “TROLL”! No “REAL” Republican (Which I am, by the way) would ever advocate harming children! What the media (& the “Government”) is covering up though, is that these “Children” (& we ALL know that MANY of these people are NOT “Children”) aren’t even being screened for infectious diseases, (Which I believe is REQUIRED BY LAW!), & then sent all over the country! (ILLEGALLY, I might add!). & just how many of these “Children” are actually adult Al Qaeda, ISIS, or CARTEL MEMBERS??? NO ONE is even TRYING to FIND OUT!!!
WTFO? What’s wrong with him ? Is he nuts at $250.00
A day I could pay a house off in 6 months what is wrong with this man? Send them back and go with them!
But Odumba wants more money so he can bankrumped us-Impeach him NOW !!!
some of u make me sick..they r human beings..n ..u all should be thankful for ur freedom n things u have .these ppl r without .may god have mercy on ur soul
Of course, they will be Dem voters along with jihadists.
Does that include blowing the planes up afterwards to eliminate the chance of diseases coming back on the planes?
if he were to take them back home they couldn’t grew up to vote for him and his party. that is what this is all about.
I think it is shameful what is going on and our president invited this. We need to realize that not all these people are drug cartels or terrorists coming across. It’s horrible what is going on but these are children. I hate what some people on this page are saying. Take it out on our careless president for sending the invitation. Of course these people are going to come over here to find a better life for their children. I don’t support it being done this way but lets not be cruel. These statements really do make us sound bad. You can be against it without the prejudiced remarks and hateful comments. If anything this should be a reminder of how good we have it in America. It that wasn’t so these parents would be so desperate to get their children here. We need to exercise some compassion when we are having these discussions. Please stop making all republicans look so bad.
Stop the $#%&!@* and send them back.
