My wife and I are in horrible 1%, and we don't spend $750 a day on our three children. Senator Rockefeller is from West Virginia. I wonder what the residents of his state think about spending $250 to $1000 a day on illegal alien children.

You can always count on the government to find new ways to waste money.

[Bryanw92]

How does the government find a way to spend so much money on things that the little people can do for just a few dollars?

[USNBandit]

It costs $142 per day send a BP agent to the RGV with commercial lodging and meals.

[Osage Orange]

Who in the HECK does spend $750 a day on their children????

[steve86]

My wife and I are in horrible 1%, and we don't spend $750 a day on our three children.

My wife and I are in bottom 1%, and yet often have a few dollars left over from the $380/month stipend the state gives us to take care of two foster children.

[ZULU]

BILL THE DAMN MEXICAN GOVERNMENT!!!!

DO IT!!!!!

[left that other site]

It costs HALF of that per day to stay in a seaside 2two br, 2b condo on key largo.

Just sayin.

Congratulations on being in the 1%. I’m sure you worked harder and risked more than I’m willing to do. Anyhow. I house my kids on well under 250-1000/day. Does this mean my child tax credit for this year will be between 90,000 and 365,000 per child?

[hecht]

wtf can’t we bill the countries they came from?

[terycarl]

at $1,000 per day, I’ll take 5 of them.....send them over and start sending the checks.

[I want the USA back]

With our money. They are given food, shelter, clothing, money, drivers licenses, and ultimately jobs and citizenship.
The intention here is to deliberately and intentionally disenfranchize American citizens who are descended from the wrong countries.

[jwalsh07]

91,250 to 365,000$ per year to house an illegal. Median income in US is about 40k. Just worth a mention.

[txrefugee]

Duh....the idiot heir to the Rockefeller fortune didn’t use a very good comparison. That $50,000 houses a prisoner for a year but would only house a Cadillac Illegal for a month and a half. That should impress even a One Percenter.

[Don Corleone]

For gosh sake you can put them on a Cruise Ship for less than that.

[cincinnati65]

Median income in the U.S. is NOWHERE near $91,250 ($250 X 365), and yet somehow 99% of our children survive. Keep in mind that's PER CHILD!

So a 3 bedroom house with 2 kids per bedroom is 6 kids. That's $547,500 for 6 at the minimum. In most states, you could BUY THEM A HOUSE, pay for utilities, feed and clothe six kids for that much money.

[GeronL]

That is pure insanity

Illegal immigrant minors are now the 1%!!

[Moonman62]

Cronies are making the big bucks. Never let a scandal or crisis go to waste.

[grania]

It would be cheaper to send the “children” on cruises until they’re sent home.

[sand88]

I hate how the media, including the Statist National Review calls them immigrants.

They are illegal aliens. They are criminals.

[Paine in the Neck]

Priceline shows a First Class adult fare (round trip) San Antonio to Guatemala of $1188. It won’t show one way fares but figure half that, so $594. A chartered flight for a planeload should be even less, say half of that or about $300.

So...get ‘em on a plane and get them home.
