Obama budgets $17,613 for every new illegal minor, more than Social Security retirees get
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.
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.
The report, titled "Welcoming Unaccompanied Alien Children to the United States," is a deep dive into the administration's evolving efforts to let hundreds of thousands of mostly 16- and 17-year-old males settle in the country.
