Good idea, but I prefer they simply be photographed, finger-printed, DNA sample taken, and immediately be bussed back over the border while the Great Wall of Texas is being built:
It'd be nice if the fed/state govt. would use our tax $s to build a wall like that - very nice.

The cry of "CONCENTRATION CAMP!" would go up immediately.
I am sure there is a little additional room within these sanctuaries for those who complain of the restriction on the rights of the illegal border crossers. They should walk in the shoes of those whom they claim to be acting on behalf of, it gives them a different perspective if actually living NEXT to those who are supposedly being persecuted.
These defenders of the rights of the illegally arrived should be leaving on the same mode of transportation as the repatriated, to the same location. Once they arrive in the destination country, they would learn first-hand how much BETTER the illegals in this country are treated, than they themselves will be treated in the country of repatriation.
I like your idea best. Why house them for any length of time on my tax dollar. Better to use the taxes for a big, very big, wall.
