According to the HHS, detention centers saw a 450-percent increase in the number of unaccompanied migrant children after DACA was implemented in 2012.
Statistics show around 8,000 migrant children were provided with government shelter by HHS in 2011, but that number jumped to more than 44,000 following DACA.
The increase came at a big cost to American taxpayers as HHS reported housing just one migrant child costs around $256 a day.
The U.S. is currently housing around 10,000 unaccompanied migrant children.
