Maybe this price tag will so offend House Speaker Paul Ryan's sensibilities that he'll finally want to do something about it: $580,000 in shelter costs each day for keeping families apart. That's the Kaiser Family Foundation's calculation based on the spending for shelter beds in fiscal year 2014. That's for the 2,342 children HHS has reported separated from their families, but they note that "estimates suggest that daily costs for tent-based shelters could be over three times higher than this FY 2014 average."
