Federal officials are due to open a huge family detention centre in southern Texas that will house immigrant adults with children while they await deportation.

The Texas Observer reports that federal officials are preparing to open the nation’s largest family detention centre, a 2,400-bed facility that will nearly double the current capacity to house immigrant families awaiting deportation. The centre will be developed on a sprawling 50-acre property near the town of Dilley, 70 miles south-west of San Antonio, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials told the monthly magazine.

That's paranoid. Isn't it easier to simply stuff the ballot box, by finding "uncounted" boxes of ballots in car trunks, or having 102% turnout, or having the electronic ballot machines counted by a Soros-owned company? /S

not so long ago they turned up a new army manual pertaining to the proper method of refugee camp construction and it admonished that an important part of in-processing was meticulous recording of all SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.

“Refugees”

Really...????

Build a 2,400 bed detention center to keep them here....or build a fence to keep them from getting here in the first place?

Who is paying for these centers? And why has the Speaker of the House not cut off funds?

Sure, that's a possibility - but this center is a long-standing facility that has been used to house male illegal immigrants in the past. If the threat that you mention exists, it's nothing new.

I haven’t looked to see if Congress bothered to vote.

but according to AARP, you can be a non-citizen and still have a SS account, so maybe they did?:

I finally realized that the republican party isn’t listening and my calls will go unanswered.
