President Obama has budgeted $17,613 for each of the estimated 75,000 Central American teens expected to illegally cross into the United States this year, $2,841 more than the average annual Social Security retirement benefit, according to a new report

The total bill to taxpayers: $1.3 billion in benefits to "unaccompanied children," more than double what the federal government spent in 2010, according to an analysis of the administration's programs for illegal minors from the Center for Immigration Studies. The average Social Security retirement benefit is $14,772.

Proudly, one of the 5 is the Congressman from counties in East Central California... Tom McClintock

Tom McClintock is my representative too, but he makes speeches about spending----I love him, but he's not a leader! Do you see him leading a movement to cut spending? No! He makes nice speeches but no leadership in cutting spending!!!!!

Thank you for referencing that article blueyon. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

From related threads …

Patriots, regarding “Obama’s” budget for every new illegal minor, please consider the following. The Founding States gave the “power of the purse” uniquely to the House of Representatives as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I. So patriots need to quit blaming everything on Obama and get a grip on the idea that corrupt Congress is using last-term Obama as its “useful idiot,” wrongly letting Obama steal legislative powers and taxpayer dollars on behalf of illegal immigrants in this example. (Patriots need to reconsider the 22nd Amendment imo.)

Corrupt lawmakers let Obama, and other federal officials outside the legislative branch, including activist justices, get away with stealing legislative branch powers and taxpayer dollars, both state and federal, so that outsiders can do Congress’s unpopular, unconstitutional dirty legislative work for it so that lawmakers can keep their voting records clean. (Obama isn’t Congress’s only “useful idiot” imo.) And by keeping their voting records clean, lawmakers are able to fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also stop federal officials outside the legislative branch from stealing legislative branch powers and taxpayer dollars.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Anything more than the actual cost of shipping them OUT of this country is simply too much. And then send the bill to their home country for reimbursement. They don’t belong here.

I would love to see a reverse table of the $ amount of the oldest retirees...upward to the youngest.

First of all, your use of "reverse" and "upward" is unclear.

This table may be a good start.

Paul Ryan!
I think this might be old news as limp wrist Ryan approved 1.6 billion for illegal minors with the last budget passed.

He’s a bastard an ENEMY who hates this country.

Clearly, anyone with half-a-brain, can see that Obozo has not only invited an invading army, he is aiding, abetting and financing it too!

This is why we have to gut the GOPe, they're either complicit, or too lame and/or afraid to apply the Rule-Of-Law and take that Kenyan monster down...

It is also why AMERICANS should have -0- tolerance for a lying POS like that OTHER immigrant Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz.

It's either death to the UniParty (GOPe/DnC) in the District of Criminals, or it's death to Us!

The son-of-a-bitch can “budget” all he wants, it’s the congress that still authorizes it to be spent. We are “stuck” with odumbo for now but we can be rid of Congress as well.

Will go to this:

Dont' be a chump, vote for Trump!

That means if an illegal family brings in 4 children they will get just under $70,000 in government money.

Per year.

Are we going to pack America with a horde of young monsters like the ones in CA screaming obscenities, giving the finger to, and beating bloody American citizens attending a traditional American rally?

Looks like that's the plan--and it's spelled out right here in front of our eyes.

". . . most of the undocumented minors do not qualify for refugee status or are even in any danger in their native countries. Instead, they are seeking to unify with their family members, commonly parents in the United States illegally.

What's more, the administration is also spending heavily on a program with the United Nations to help the illegal minors avoid the dangerous trip by declaring them refugees and handing them a plane ticket to the U.S. where, once here, they get special legal status.

And our ageing Ameican Social Security citizens can't even get a one cent Cost of Living increase--because austerity required by the politicos?

Sounds like the curtain's coming down unless some really big changes happen--right now!

[3D-JOY]

It certainly is...Thank You.
Now I have to find a really old tax reference in the files...I think I destroyed all the IRS up to 90 or later? I was thinking of property sales as maybe being needed???

Averages sure do make a difference...I am one who pulls those numbers WAY down.
