Google says that pregnancy tests and boxes of multicultural crayons can both be had for $1 each, so, assuming they administer pregnancy tests to everyone and give everyone a new box crayons every day, that means they're spending $73/day/person in food. How?!? Short of going to Ruth's Chris 3x a day, I couldn't spend that much if I tried!

Taxpayer funds covered free laptops, big screen TVs, $75 per child per day for food, pregnancy tests, and “multicultural crayons”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that on September 9, 2014, it received documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revealing that the Obama administration paid Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) $182,129,786 to provide “basic shelter care” to 2,400 “unaccompanied alien children” (UAC) for four months in 2014. The BCFS budget included charges for $104,215,608 for UACs at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and an additional $77,914,178 for UACs at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

The start date of BCFS’s contract was October 1, 2013, but it was signed on June 27, 2014. The project’s end date of September 30, 2016, suggests that the Obama administration anticipates that the “surge” will continue until near the end of his presidency.

I think I have to disagree with your premise here. NOTHING costs the country more than an Ivy-League "education."

I'm not sure I follow, but a regular state-school education is creeping up on 6-figures.

In terms of immigration, I'm a pragmatic.. Until we're ready to spend the billions necessary to secure the border... And that means you and I pony up from our own pockets, why not charge $5k a pop to just let them cross, register, and pay taxes? IT wouldn't change the reality of what is happening today, and our budget would be a lot better off... Let them go back home, and all of a sudden we have a profit center.



Otherwise, wait long enough without getting caught and some president will grant amnesty. You guys blame Obama, but I remember when Regan did it too...
