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!

Sheila Roybal, there is NOTHING wrong with GAY PEOPLE, It is people with comments like that, that CREATE the Problem … … … Illegals are ONLY here for Obama !
” I Do Not agree with these Dems. assessment of needing Billion’s $$$$ for special Judges, living quarters etc. the countries these ILLegal’s came from Should be completely Responsible for this enormous incursion into our U.S.A. period !!!
Obama is a full blown idiot and needs to get/ use common sense. Oh wait he’s a politician.
The goal of Barack Hussein Obama is to destroy our country. This invasion of illegal aliens is but one step in the plan of the Communist in our White House. Everything Barack has done, is doing, and will do, is aimed directly at destroying our Constitutional Republic and making our once great, strong, and proud country a third world Communist State.
Of course it will….
DON’T GIVE OBAMA A DERN THING…ESPECIALLY MONEY!
SECURE OUR BORDERS!!! SEND THEM ALL BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM!!! IMPEACH OBAMA!!! The only successful plan Obama has set into motion is to DESTROY THIS GREAT NATION!!! so far he’s getting away with it too….His muslim brothers are cheering too!
