(CNN) -- The Obama administration has unveiled a plan to spend millions of dollars to stem the tide of undocumented children streaming across the U.S.-Mexico border, announcing a coordinated government-wide response to the situation Friday.

The plan includes almost $100 million in aid to the Central American governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to help reintegrate the illegal migrants whom the U.S. will send back, and to help keep them in their home countries, according to a White House statement.

The administration also announced it will set aside $161.5 million this year for the Central American Regional Security Initiative (CARSI) programs because the programs "are critical to enabling Central American countries to respond to the region's most pressing security and governance challenges."

Too bad we can’t afford a fence or something. /s

So now Mexico is the 51st state.

fly them to their homes south of the border

much, much cheaper in the long run when factoring in living expenses and future welfare costs. It’s a no brainer.

[grimalkin]

This administration is filled with sociopaths.

[Mortrey]

POTUS (Pimp of the United States) ordered the kids in January...

He’s just paying for them.

[SpaceBar]

Embrace the hemorrhage.

$100 million for reintegration in the countries they came from. My head is about to explode.

[Tennessee Nana]

we need spending reform

[RIghtwardHo]

lol Exactly.

[molson209]

Obama screws up again and the tax payer pays

[skeeter]

More lies from the White House’s water carriers.

[mrsmel]

I’m not sure he’s “screwing up”, according to his lights. His mission is to destroy this country.

[Graewoulf]

Does 40,000 innocent children brought to the US/Mexico Border due to illegal promises and illegal Executive “Dreamer” Orders from Obama qualify Obama to be placed on the US State Department’s Blacklist for Human Trafficking?

[headstamp 2]

We have to bribe the countries now.

[Uncle Chip]

They’ve got us coming and going —

[tumblindice]

Democrats throwing money at problems?

[DoughtyOne]

Curb the one in the White House first!

[what's up]

They're in panic mode now because Obama's approval on the immigration issue has dropped to 31%.

Not only that, but his Hispanic support is starting to crumble.

He and Jarrett thought they had the Hispanic vote locked up. But what if Hispanics vote for the GOP instead? Not to mention that the states they were trying to turn blue (TX and AZ) are deeply affected by this.
