Obama Blows $100 Million Moving Central American Migrants to New U.S. Spots: Watchdog

A watchdog organization, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, revealed that taxpayers have footed a $100 million bill to relocate Central American migrants from the border by Texas to their ultimate destinations insider the United States.

Most of  the money’s gone toward airplane transportation and hotel costs.

The OK to the expenditure – the $100 million since 2014 – was set by White House policy.

As Breitbart reported:

“Under rules set by President Barack Obama, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency must classify most Central American migrants as asylum seekers, and must then transport them to their destinations in the United States. Obama’s rule means the agency assigns agents to work at temporary holding centers, pays for hotel rooms to house migrants, and escorts them to people in the U.S. interior who claim to be the migrants’ relatives, including resident illegal aliens and the employers of illegal immigrants.”

Roughly a quarter of the $100 million ICE spent to abide that policy was to shelter illegals in hotel rooms, the Immigration Reform Law Institute found. And another 58 percent was spent on plane tickets.

Obtaining that data wasn’t easy.

As Breitbart reported, citing the head of the watchdog group:

“‘We fought for nearly two years to get this data,’ said executive director Dale Wilcox. ‘Now we see why the administration has been less than forthcoming and why they’ve repeatedly tried to blame the costly… surge [of migrants] on Central American crime rather than its own amnesty policies.’”
