Who would pay for Obama to be deported?

If Uncle Obama shoiuld be deported.... who would pay for his airfare?

I think they put Mexican illegals on a bus but who pays for these deported people to leave the country, in some cases it could be pretty costly.

He won't be deported. Just like the Aunt he will have a closed door court session and he will be granted legal residence.

Naturally, the fact that Obama just put an end to deportation except in fellony cases and similar insures Uncle Obama not only residence but a little retirement (he does have a SSN).

But again, for those who have been deported, who pays for the transportation?

First Lady Michelle Obama over the last year has spent a total of 42 days on vacation, or a little more than one out of every nine days, according to a White House Dossier analysis of her travel.http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/michelle-obama-vacation-scandal/

They (the aunt and uncle) could hop a ride with Michelle on one of her trips to Africa.Maybe there is one planned in a few weeks at the most.

She is rich and famous. I'm sure the rest of her life 1 out of every 9 days will be spent on vacation.

The Federal government pays. Apparently the cost to deport a person averages out to be 12,500. (ICE salaries etc.)

And when you say the Federal Government, you mean, We The People who pay taxes. Therefore it makes sense when the Federal Government wants to use the limited funds and human resources wisely by focusing on illegal aliens who committed crimes first, instead of pulling children and students out of the classroom. It's not about not wanting to deport all illegal aliens and being pro-illegals, it's purely a practical decision to spend money and resources where the impact is the greatest.

Just to get back to the numbers: if we use the $12,5K estimate and multiply it with 11,000,000 illegal aliens, we get the sum of $1,375,000,000.00 on deportation cost, which is more than one-point-three trillion dollars. So if people say: deport them all, they not only ignore that it would take about 50 years to even round them up, but silly money to do so.

While I'm anti-illegal immigration myself with some wishful thinking attached, I can think of better ways to spend that kind of money, health care and retirement and education being only three of them. Therefore some form of the DREAM Act makes sense as it will ease our taxpayers' burden. We don't have to like it, and I do not like it, but we'll have to accept it as reality can be cruel, especially when it comes to us, you and me, having to pay for it.

WELL IF IT'S ABOUT SAYING MONEY.... perhaps we need to consider if the said Illegal is collecting and social services, preventing a month of two of that would easily pay for a one way tix to where ever.

I bet Sheriff Joe could do it for less than $12.5k per person.

Not to mention there are simpler solutions. Make e-Verify mandatory and half of them will self-deport.
