Where is the Public Outrage?

"Judicial Watch announced that on September 9, 2014, it received documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revealing that the Obama administration paid Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) $182,129,786 to provide “basic shelter care” to 2,400 “unaccompanied alien children” (UAC) for four months in 2014."

Let's put the $182,129,786 into proper perspective with regard to the 2,400 unaccompanied alien children.  That works out to $75,887.41 per alien child for four months, or $227,662.22 on an annualized basis.  And, what did these alien children receive for this $182 million package?  Well, free laptops, big screen TV's, $75/child per day for food, pregnancy tests, and, best of all, multicultural crayons! 

Now, I am not heartless.  I am just extremely concerned because we are spending $182 million for 2,400 unaccompanied alien children, not citizens, when in fact we have a record 2,500,000 American homeless children in the U.S. who are indeed citizens!  Where is our government's compassion for our own "homeless children?"  Where is the public outrage?
