The costs involved with the current surge in illegal immigration are mounting.
The latest price tag is a nearly 87 million dollar contract the government has signed with a Texas-based organization called Endeavors.
They will house some migrant families in hotels where they will get food, shelter, medical care and access to lawyers.
It's seen as a move away from for-profit detention centers, which have drawn criticism from Democrats.
Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services is asking the Defense Department to use military facilities to house unaccompanied minors.
