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!

flying bull cattlecar good enough for their primitive tastes
So, what is Congress going to do? give Obama 3.8 Billion of OUR tax money to house all these illegal children and feed them and clothe them and educate them…for how long? until they graduate from school? then what? where will they get jobs and live then?
Is anyone looking at the enormous long-term problem we will have IF they are allowed to stay in our country?
Makes you wonder…seems to be so….actions speak louder than words….
FLY THEM ALL BACK, give our guards live amo, dig a HUGE DITCH on our soil and when they cross again let them read a sign in Spanish and English, we will give you one last freebee, your burial.
WAKE UP-IS NAZY TIME=WW3&UFO HELL INVASION
COME HOME
This is indeed a problem that needs immediate attention and solving ! but it seems Obama is too busy fund-raising and drinking beer and playing pool to even go down to the border and see for himself what is happening there !
THEY CANT HELP HIM BREAK US IF WE FLY THEM HOME CAN THEY , MY YOU GUYS ARE DUMB
He has no intention of sending them home. He created this whole mess. His plan to hurt America. More on an all ready over stretched economy.
It should come out of his paycheck, not from the power of the purse
