2. Anyone seen an up to date cost on this fiasco? All because of a so-called leader with a warped brain

Between the private contracts, changes in procedures, moving children from place to place to confuse and deflect judgment, etc., I can just imagine what the cost will end up being for taxpayers. Needless expense, mainly due to racist attitudes.

I think we will be shocked when Trump is gone and the figures come to light. We thought "W" was bad with his war costs. Wait until you see Trump's actual spending due to ignorance and a cooperating Congress. Shame on all of them.

The cost to the country doesn't include the cost to these families and the lives of those poor kids.
