It costs 770 dollars per day to safely house an Undocumented child. In Ohio, Ma'Khia Bryant was driven insane by a system that would not pay her grammy 10 bucks a day to be her Foster Parent when Mom, who is single, could not hold down a full time job and also be there for her kids full time. Ironically, Single Mom, if she was working regularly, was paying into the system that could have then backed her up by letting Grammy be there for her kids if necessary.
Crazier still, Grammy has to wait 6 months and then maybe she gets paid 10 bucks a day to be a caregiver for each grand child. But how can Grammy provide for her grand kids for those first six months if she isn't being paid and has to work during those first six months and once again, not be around for her grand kids.
The U.S. system presently is funding 20,000 Undocumented Kids an amount of money that could fund 1.5 million Foster Kids in the U.S. to live with their grandparent or grandparent.
This is the kind of statistical factoid that goes untold by Democrat Politicians who are against the Wall, while Republican Politicians don't seem to know enough about family values to want to make sure that Grandma can be a Foster Parent with minimal red tape.
