As the White House first announced in March, Barack Obama is scheduled to
visit Mexico and Costa Rica later this week. The trip is billed as "an
important opportunity to reinforce the deep cultural, familial, and economic
ties that so many Americans share with Mexico and Central America." And at
yesterday’s White House press conference, the president stated that he is "
very much looking forward to taking the trip down to Mexico" this week.
But the trip won’t exactly be cheap for taxpayers, assuming the costs
mirror those incurred by the American taxpayers for President Obama's last
trip to Mexico, for the G-20 summit in June 2012. According to recently
discovered documents relating to the costs of that trip, taxpayers paid
nearly $2.5 million for hotel and “vehicle rental.” |
