We are owed an explanation of how wisely our tax dollars are spent. How much did it cost to deported these people versus what they “cost us” by continuing their lives here.

If you assume 2000 agents and 60 days lodging that’s less than $40 a day per agent. That would be a very good group rate booking at hotels and does not include food.
