(CNSNews.com) - On the same day President Obama asked Congress for $3.7 billion dollars to deal with the crisis at the Southwest border, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) called it "the wrong approach."
"Look, for $8 million, we can put them all on a first-class seat back to their homes. That's $8 million. That's a first-class seat, one way, to each of their homes," Coburn told CNN's "Crossfire" on Tuesday.
"That's $60,000 per child that we're going to spend, in emergency money. Can we -- first of all, that shows just how incompetent we -- we can't do that for $3(000) or $4,000 per child? That's No. 1.
"No. 2 is, if we can't do that, the Border Patrol is as bad as the V.A. And by the way, the vast majority of Border Patrol are not patrolling the border right now. They're involved in the humanitarian crisis."

And we should send them home.
We should also send Obama back to Kenya.
We can't send them home without legislation.
I'm with you, Brother, and add another million for the legislation! GO!
Congress better hurry the hell up there are more coming every day.This needs to be brought up now while the issue is still hot,no congress person(did you catch that political correctness)would dare vote against it.
6:34 - I'm a little confused. The administration obviously does not give a damn for the rule of law or constitutional quibbles. Not sure why the opposition should be so constrained.
Ship em home via bus. That is more economical. I am tired of being screwed by lawbreakers and our president. Oops, I forgot our president was a lawbreaker too.
This idea makes way too much sense for the government to execute. Gotta borrow and spend another 4 billion to further grow government and hasten our bankruptcy.
don't let them off the bus they're on. Turn it around & send it back to where it came from. It came from somewhere. The driver knows. How hard is that? How expensive is that? Whoever sent them needs to pay the bus driver a second time.
You dumb repubs are never gonna get any of that latino voting block. Your thoughts need to stay internal. Tell the ignorant mass what they want to hear as your kicking their tails back accross the Rio Grande.
