(DAILY TORCH) – Illegal immigrants are each getting $71,000 to pay for housing over the next six months, according to Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) That is about fifty times as much money as Americans are getting in Covid stimulus money this spring. Taxpayers are spending $86.9 million to house about 1,200 illegal immigrant family members in hotel rooms. For a family of four, that amounts to a shocking $284,000—enough to buy a small house. Blackburn sent a letter this week to the Department of Homeland Security detailing her concerns about the $86.9 million contract for the Texas-based nonprofit Endeavors.
Former Trump Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli told America’s Real Voice News that this spending is unsustainable.
“I mean they could literally buy a low-end house for the price of six months in the hotel for a family,” explained Cuccinelli. “I’m not suggesting they should do that, but that’s the unbelievable extravagance they’re willing to go to, to keep this flowing to keep this going.”
