Report: HHS Spent More Than $182 Million for 'Basic Shelter Care' of 2,400 Illegal Immigrant Minors
Breitbart ^ | 12/03/2014 | Caroline May

Documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch show that HHS paid the Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) $182,129,786 for the “basic shelter care” of 2,400 unaccompanied minors (UAC) over several months this year.

Judicial Watch reported the group spent $104,215,608 on UACs at Fort Sill and $77,914,178 on UACs at Lackland Air Force Base.

The charges, Judicial Watch noted, amount to about $86,846.34 per UAC at Fort Sill from June 12 to October 18. The charges for the remaining 1,200 UACs at Lackland AFB came out to a $64,928 cost per minor from May 18 to September 18.

The group further highlighted “extravagant high-tech equipment and lavish benefits” including laptops, big screen TVs, cell phones, $75 in daily food expenses, and pregnancy tests.

“It is outrageous that the Obama administration spent nearly $200 million of taxpayer funds to provide illegal alien children with the types of extravagant high-tech equipment and lavish benefits many American families cannot even afford for their own children,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

The group further questioned the average $88,293 pay for members of the BCFS’ Incident Management Team over a period of four months.

“Obama’s lawlessness resulted in an illegal alien ‘surge’ that has cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in 2014,” Fitton added. “Based on his new lawless amnesty plans, we can expect hundreds of millions more in taxpayer costs for the resulting wave of illegal aliens trying to take advantage of Obama’s illegal nullification of our nation’s immigration laws.”

Uncle Miltie:" $86K per year.

I have to reread the article because I thought this is what the Baptists have been paid,each , so far in four (4) months.
I didn't see it as an annual salary.

I stand corrected. That’s $258,000.00 per kid per year.

At least we’re not shortchanging them on sushi dinners.

$86,846.34 per UAC at Fort Sill from June 12 to October 18, not a year.

yet by golly there’s no money left for our seniors, disabled and veterans- but apparently there’s all kinds of money for ILLEGALS, and TERRORIST nations- funny how our govnerment can find all kinds of money for terrorist nations and illegals while claiming our social security fund is running out of money (after our government squandered the lock box fund for SS)

We've been watching this for most of a year.

It's the ultimate corruption of "religious organizations," turned into slush funds, fouling the name of all legit religious charity. Thanks Obama! Slime religion on your way out!

Solyndra-scale "charity" fed by Big Gov.
