The Patriot Post® · Cheaper to Fly Them Back

Is the $3.7 billion Barack Obama requested in emergency immigration funds a good idea? Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) doubts it. “We’re putting a lot of kids at risk,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “Remember, this is organized crime that is selling this and these three countries that you can get them here and they’ll be here and they’re extracting large amounts of money and then abusing children as they carry them up here. It’s terrible. The best way to stop that is to have airplanes landing every day bringing these children back to their country of origin.” He added, “The president just asked for $3.7 billion, for less than $20 million we can fly them all back first class. So think about how stupid our policy is.” Food for thought, indeed.
