Child Border Crossers Have Higher Standard of Living than 13M Impoverished American Children

Migrant children who cross into the United States either alone or with adults have a higher standard of living once they are put into federal care than the more than 13 million American children who are living in poverty across the country.

In Fiscal Year 2017, the federal government referred nearly 41,000 unaccompanied minor border crossers to the Unaccompanied Alien Children program which is facilitated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Data provided to Breitbart News reveals that each unaccompanied minor costs the federal government about $34,660 annually. This is a higher standard of living per child than the roughly 13 million American children who continue to live below the U.S. poverty line.

Those comfortable living conditions include lodging, meals, clothing, medical care, education, recreation, counseling, among other services.

Not unaccompanied minors of course but the ones who come over with the South Americans aren't even their children many times. As hard as it is for us to believe and the democrats to tell the truth on the parents basically sell the children to the highest payer. The highest payer wants the child because they think they will be given entrance into the US easier. So the real parents could care less if their child is separated from them because they've already sold them to strangers. The fact is children are a commodity to many in South America. A Mexican lady told me this about the Latinos so if anyone denies they are either a damn liar or clueless as to how thing work in the real world.
