Sen. Ron Johnson: Illegals Could All Be Flown Home in Style for 1.5% Obama's Funding Request

You know, we’re finding we’re not particularly good at improving our own economy. Isn't it a pipe dream to spend $295 million trying to improve the conditions and expecting that is going to solve the problem, as opposed to sending planeloads full of these kids back to their families?” Johnson asked during a Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
