If you are paying attention to the monetary costs of illegal immigration, you need look no further than a sweetheart contract to house illegal immigrants in hotels in the amount of $86 million dollars for just six months.
The contract calls for 1,200 rooms for that same six months. When you do the math, you find that the contract pays out $392.69 per person per night. That is more expensive than many 4 star hotels.
The rooms will be located on the Southern borders of Texas and Arizona. You can sleep two adults and two kids at the Best Western Plus Laredo Inn & Suites for $127 a night.
By contrast, a family of four illegal immigrants would cost over $1,500 a night. And that is before other costs are included that are provided by FEMA of $110 million.
The total cost for illegal immigrants a year is $136 billion dollars a year.
Former federal immigration judge Andrew Arthur writes:
On March 20, Axios reported that the Biden administration has entered into a six-month contract worth $86 million to house 1,200 migrant family members near the Southwest border in Texas and Arizona. That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history. [Emphasis added]
By the way, $71,666.67 divided by six months equals $392.69 per person per night. One night at the AAA-rated three-diamond Best Western Plus Laredo Inn & Suites for two adults and two children is $127.49 per night ($111 for AAA members), and includes a free breakfast, refrigerator, and microwave.
[Emphasis added]
Were the president to want to house those 1,200 [family units] closer to his own personal residence near Wilmington, Del., the top-rated hotel there (according to Frommer’s, the site I generally use), the Courtyard Wilmington Downtown, is a bargain at $119 per night, again for two adults and two children.
Since February, Biden has released at least 23,400 border-crossers into the U.S. interior.
That is the size of many cities and there is a long way to go yet this year.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas suggested that the illegals be tested for COVID-19 before they are released into this country’s interior.
There is no evidence that any such testing is taking place.
