$46,654: Annual Cost of Detaining Illegal Alien Exceeds Average American Income

(CNSNews.com) - The federal government paid a “bed rate” of $127.82 per day to house each illegal alien detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal 2016, according to ICE data published in a new report by the Government Accountability Office [1].

Even if you do not count the extra day in that leap year, that works out to $46,654.30 for each detention bed occupied by an illegal alien for 365 days.

This is more a "Prison for Profit" problem than it is a criminal problem.

Yes, the feds do a much better job.  We don't need no stinkin' profit motive.
