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.

The total bill to taxpayers: $1.3 billion in benefits to "unaccompanied children," more than double what the federal government spent in 2010, according to an analysis of the administration's programs for illegal minors from the Center for Immigration Studies. The average Social Security retirement benefit is $14,772.

The report notes that the president's budget, facing congressional approval, includes another $2.1 billion for refugees, which can include the illegals from Central America, mostly Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Another example of Congress, especially Republicans, not reading the Bill and standing up against this type of pathetic request / spending by them.

Unreal.

The job of our "leaders" --- the VERY FIRST JOB -- to to protect us and our security.
Which one of you nonthinking, rainbow loving, "everybody is cool" nitwit liberals think this is, IN ANY WAY, doing that?
Many many old people are eating crackers and soup for dinner (had to skip lunch all this month to buy the medicine that obamacare has put out of reach in their budget) and hoping it doesn't get too hot or cold because they are low on cash. They worked hard their entire lives and it's down to that now.
On the other hand, if you enter our country ILLEGALLY and bring your children with you, too, our "leaders" find you a house, a school, a drivers license, medical care, CASH, and SSI benefits. All the while KNOWING these people don't have a legal right to be here at all.
Our "leaders".
Keep cheering.

There's a war coming between Central American nations and the U.S.

The U.S. cannot stand by any longer and let drug trade selfishness, slavery, and third world stupidity call the shots within miles of its borders.
It's time that this foolishness ended.

Instead of almost exclusively focusing on the Middle East, the resources of the Americas need to be solidified. With those countries south of the U.S. being 90% Christian, there has to be a call to solidify efforts. In the end, it will be Muslim vs. Christian (even though Muslimism is an offshoot of Christianity). With secular, profit based activity leading the way, we will fail and be doomed.
