I think I heard that the cost per child per day is over $700 to starve them, not provide basic hygiene needs, and have them sleep outside on dirt or concrete! Put them up at the local Hilton for a fifth of that, and they would be treated far better. Who runs this company that is making millions off taxpayers? This is beyond outrageous. And Trump has the nerve to ask for more money when we know he would divert it to build his wall.
