DHS Expects To Spend Between $250 And $1,000 Per Day To House Illegal Immigrant Children

How much does it cost you to pay for yourself each day?
According to Jeh Johnson, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, it is costing the Federal government anywhere between $250 and $1,000 per day to feed and house each illegal immigrant child whom immigration enforcement agents have picked up inside the Nations southern border.
That information came at a Homeland Security briefing Wednesday at which Johnson met with Senators from both political parties. When he revealed the cost of caring for the illegal immigrants, there was an audible gasp; a bipartisan gasp in the room, according to Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who attended the briefing and spoke with National Review following the meeting.
Heres more from National Review:
Senate Budget Committee chairwoman Patty Murray (D., Wash.) wouldnt comment on the overall cost of housing so far. Its in the president request, she said. President Obama asked Congress to provide $1.8 billion to the Department of Health and Human Services to provide the appropriate care for unaccompanied children, consistent with Federal law, while maintaining services for refugees.
Current estimates place this years illegal immigrant surge, dating to October of last year, at close to 60,000 people; the government expects another 30,000 illegals to arrive before October of this year.
President Barack Obama, who has a history of insisting that the U.S-Mexico border is adequately secured against mass migrations of such magnitude, has requested Congress to authorize $3.7 billion in emergency funding to address the border crisis from which the above-mentioned $1.8 billion for housing, feeding and health care, while the money lasts, would be drawn.
The housing funds would be administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Johnsons explained that $250 per day represents the best-case cost of caring for the illegal immigrant children as they await either a deportation hearing or if some GOP Congressional leaders can persuade the Obama Administration expedited deportation.
If, however, the government has to contract with outside vendors to provide caretaking services, that cost would quadruple to an estimated $1,000 per day for each child.
Comments;
One thing you gotta give Obummer credit for....there's nothing cheap about him! (Especially when he's spending someone else's money. ) I sure hope none of these "wet back" kids are being "housed" in "over-crowded" conditions....for a grand a day, maybe he's gonna "put 'em up" in a bridal suite at the local Hyatt Regency, one kid to a suite? And does any body know how many of our troops are "making do" in grand-a-day "accommodations"?

I'm guessing that when word gets back to where ever these "kids" came from about the "grand-a-day" plan, that 90K will quickly turn into 900K wanting to try out the "grand-a-day plan"!

Heard on FOX today that they, our government, are offering $6000.00 a month. to Americans who will take one of the "refugees" into their home. Imagine that I had to feed my whole family on a lot less than that. Isn't amazing how easy it is to spend other peoples money.

For that much money you could get the kid an apartment with a nanny/caretaker.

They call it a DTF, demorat training facility.
They tell the kids, in the USA all you have to do is vote 100 times and you will become a citizen with lifetime income. You can do it in three days.

That female Obummer sycophant in the photo with her "dear leader" looks as though she must have swallowed her dildo and is having a problem getting it to "go down"; ( which is what she kooks like she'd love to do. )

Maybe Obama could donate the proceeds from his next fund-raiser to pay for the illegals???....On second thought, he needs it for his pen and phone expenses.
