On the same day President Obama asked Congress for $3.7 billion dollars to deal with the crisis at the Southwest border, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) called it "the wrong approach."
"Look, for $8 million, we can put them all on a first-class seat back to their homes. That's $8 million. That's a first-class seat, one way, to each of their homes," Coburn told CNN's "Crossfire" on Tuesday.
"That's $60,000 per child that we're going to spend, in emergency money. Can we -- first of all, that shows just how incompetent we -- we can't do that for $3(000) or $4,000 per child? That's No. 1.
"No. 2 is, if we can't do that, the Border Patrol is as bad as the V.A. And by the way, the vast majority of Border Patrol are not patrolling the border right now. They're involved in the humanitarian crisis."

SEND THEM BACK!
Congress should approve $8-20 million to send them back. Let Obama deal with explaining why we should spend $60,000 per child.
“Look, for $8 million, we can put them all on a first-class seat back to their homes. That’s $8 million. That’s a first-class seat, one way, to each of their homes,” Coburn told CNN’s “Crossfire” on Tuesday.
Nonsense. With a group buy like that you’d get a big discount, plus the frequent flier miles should be factored in.
The $3.7 billion is money for cronies. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Gee that’s a whole lot cheaper than the bid Obama put in to process the illegal aliens..
Roller coaster style row seats and some C-130’s...the Air National Guard can practice touch and goes in southernmost Mexico.
And if you sent them by Coach they could each have a new Obamaphone too!
Refugees don't plan to travel through other countries and then sneak into their preferred destination. That's an invasion. Of course they should be sent home.
The $3.7 billion is money for cronies. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Forcing Obama to put them on planes to send them home would make Obama look like a bigger buffoon than he already is.
Border Patrol are not patrolling the border right now. They’re involved in the humanitarian crisis.”
Humanitarian crisis. There it is. Every single one of them have adopted the left’s rhetoric.
Load them on a barge and ship them to the southern tip of Mexico, offload them on the beach or a dock.
Then Mexico can push them the rest of the way back south.
Make it Mexico’s problem and they will stop them at their border!
Budgeting for more kids to come.
They moved 70% of the BP off the border to change diapers...
Obama ass-rapes the country, blames it for dressing provacatively, and then charges it for lube.
what is wrong with a troop transport plane?
have the military fly um back.
Cheaper than commercial and less risk (military plans are easier to disinfect)
The senate committee meeting this morning
Sen Ron Johnson (R-WI) said he went online and found that it costs $207 to fly to Guatemala..
If this be not treason, what is it?

Coburn is still willing to negotiate to half that amount - 1.65 Billion - just for the placement. That’s insane - no money. Make the feds “make-do” just like they expect communities to “make-do” once the illegals overwhelm the schools, welfare system, medical facilities, etc.
