I have a hard time believing that much. Not that I dont think we spend way too much, but I dont think it is that high.

I'm sure that money is being spent somewhere but this is where they want to claim it's being spent.

If it's fifty cents, it's too much.

Agreed.

Our government needs to get the spending under control and present to us the taxpayer a budget showing where all our money is going and if none of it is towards our debt, we shouldn't pass out money for these programs.

According to some that means that it costs us $1.3B EACH!!!

What the heck is an asylum seeker?

If that's what they call LEGAL immigrants, then I want to know how much illegal immigrants are costing us.

That's the new buzz word.. During Obama's tenure it was "undocumented workers".. The reason these people are flooding the border is because they're seeking "asylum". I don't doubt there are some that are legit, but instead of getting to the next safe country and beginning the paper work, they're coming into the US and then trying to claim asylum, which is not the way it's supposed to work. That's why Trump's "Stay in Mexico" policy was a good idea, they would go to an embassy there and fill out the paperwork.
