Government figures obtained by the Immigration Reform Law Institute through an open records request show Immigration and Customs Enforcement spent an average of $665 per juvenile in 2014, with most of that going to the cost of airplane flights to shuttle the children among government agencies, to relatives here in the U.S. or back to their home countries — if they’re deported.
At that rate, ICE will spend about $4.5 million flying just the children nabbed at the border in October, and somewhere north of $100 million since the surge began in earnest in 2014.
“It’s insult to injury on a massive scale,” said Dale Wilcox, executive director of IRLI.

And you know, each place they go, they're registered to vote.
Saw the new version of The Jungle Book.
There's a scene where the evil Tiger guy tells the cute little wolf cubs about brood parasitism.
Kind of disturbing.
How much does our government spend on "theater?"
