Former hotels, nursing homes and other sites would be used to hold immigrants who are not criminals or violent as part of a larger plan to reform immigration detention proposed by the homeland security secretary, according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
Janet Napolitano is proposing that illegal immigrants awaiting deportation be confined according to the risk they may pose and will detail her plan on Tuesday. The reforms were previewed by the agency in August without as much detail.
The alternative sites are intended to cut the costs of detaining immigrants, which reached nearly $2 billion in 2008.
The plan is based on a review of immigration detention by Dora Schriro, Napolitano's former detention adviser. She resigned last month to become commissioner of New York City's jails.

They have hotels in Mexico. Cheep

Free breakfast too?
It’s like a free vacation!
Obama needs a few more fingers

I’m sure the detainees will just hang around the lobby until they are deported
“Janet Napolitano is proposing that illegal immigrants awaiting deportation be confined according to the risk they may pose”

Put up tents and wire. Give them some incentive to WANT to leave.....
