But with my Republican friends. it is usually not the human cost that matters. So let me break it down another way. At $343 per person per day. we are spending $125.000 per detainee per year-$125.000. But the alternatives to detention we could be using cost about $5.50 a day. or about $2.000 a year. That is cost savings logic that even in Washington we can understand. Mr. Speaker. regardless of how you feel about the funding and regardless of how you feel about immigration or policy issues. Central America. or any other issues. you cannot lose sight of the fact that we are talking about children. As a father.
