Crap, $252 a day?! I make that net per week! I keep thinking of the old kid’s magazine, “Highlights,” where they ask, “what is wrong with this picture?”

[Tzimisce]

Yeah so?

Raise taxes.

Problem fixed. :)

[Uncle Chip]

So that’s why he is asking for $2 billion — to grease the wheels of this influx.

[nascarnation]

The number may be true.

What we don’t know is who is getting the dough.
As always, follow the money.

What crony of the Chicago Mob is tapping the gravy?

[molson209]

$2 per kid and $250 for Demonut Party ?

[Paladin2]

Take it out of the AF1 budget.

[mrsmel]

And this is just the cost before they’re turned loose on an unsuspecting, sleeping citizenry, to loot, rob, rape, steal, murder, and spread disease.

They could stick 4 of them into two beds in an Econo-Lodge for about 80 bucks, i.e., $20 per kid. But why would the government pay $20 when they could pay $250?

[CitizenUSA]

I totally agree. We need to treat these children humanely, but they cannot and must not be allowed to stay. Feed them, house them, and then deport them!

[blueyon]

I have never paid that much for a hotel.......................

[Libloather]

"...in need of food and water,"

And decontamination.

[Organic Panic]

Now we can see all those PSA charity advertisement.

Just $1 a day will help feed a starving child...

[NoLibZone]

That’s 252 per person less for classroom.

252 per person less for inner city black AMERICANS.

252 per person less for the elderly.

and on and on.

[skeeter]

Consider the $252 a daily installment payment for your future case of drug resistant TB.

Thanks Obama. Thanks DC.

[plain talk]

Our agency and the Department of Homeland Security have mobilized to address this situation in a way consistent with our laws and our American values."

Is there a law that says we should house and feed illegal aliens? If they followed the law they would deport them.

[cookcounty]

That comes to $91,980 per year for ONE KID.

Dreamers. Rofl

We should not be dividing families:

Send them home to mommy and daddy.

[Carriage Hill]

That’s really the cost to house all the scabies, lice, mites, tapeworms, TB, leprosy, ebola etc and the HAZMAT/CDC Teams to monitor them. Heh.
