(Washington Times) The Homeland Security Department spent $600,000 apiece to
build houses in Arizona that would have gone for less than $100,000, according
to a report in the Arizona Republic that’s raising questions in Congress.
“This type of spending is irresponsible as our nation faces significant budget
deficits and the men and women in the Border Patrol face cuts in overtime that
are essential to their mission,” Rep. Ron Barber, the Arizona Democrat in whose
district the homes were built, said in a statement Friday.
The Republic said Homeland Security built 21 homes and bought 20 other mobile
homes for $15 million. Comparable homes go for between $70,000 and $100,000, the
paper said. The homes were build to be rented to border agents and officers.
Homeland Security officials repeatedly refused to answer the newspaper’s
questions about the project, the Republic said.
