$46,654: Annual Cost of Detaining Illegal Alien Exceeds Average American Income

 

The federal government paid a “bed rate” of $127.82 per day to house each illegal alien detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal 2016, according to ICE data published in a new report by the Government Accountability Office.

Even if you do not count the extra day in that leap year, that works out to $46,654.30 for each detention bed occupied by an illegal alien for 365 days.

  1. Joe Arpaio needs to start a business housing the illegals in the Arizona desert. That would put most illegals close to home and Joe has considerable experience running such an operation. I see nothing but upside.

  2. Now you're getting to the heart of this matter. Who owns these facilities where these illegals are housed for this money? I'd wager Democrats and open borders RINOs.
