US officials are expected to announce plans that would allow illegal immigrants not considered a threat to be taken out of jails, reports say.
The new policy would list immigrants according to the risk they may pose, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Detainees who are not criminals could be kept in hotels and nursing homes, according to leaks of the plans.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is expected to give details of the plans later.
Her department is hoping to cut the costs of detaining immigrants, which stood at almost $2bn (£1.3bn) in 2008.
It says alternatives like the hotels and nursing homes would cost about $14 a day, compared to about $100 a day for detention.

Each year some 380,000 illegal immigrants are detained in US jails alongside regular prisoners, ahead of deportation.

The world has gone mad. I got out of the hospital a few days ago and lay here listening to it all. Boggles the mind, breaks the soul.
On a better note, yesterday in the wee hours of the morning on Rick Roberts radio show he had on Congressman Duncan D. Hunter. He sounded good, real good.
Welcome back AuntB. Hope your recovery is swift and you are out running marathons before long!!
Yes, Duncan D sounds an awful lot like Duncan L.
“Send them home you G D M F _itch! “
Yep!
This is so much crappolla I can hardly stomach it. I’m in the freakin’ twilight zone! There are dozens of ‘immigrant detention centers’...they are NOT prisons! And they have better medical care, etc. than our veterans get! In fact I just got out of the hospital, and these illegal squaters get better medical care than I got, I promise you!
These centers are constantly being improved, built because they have LOBBYISTS and the people running them contribute BIG to our pandering politicians...like Janet Nappin’atthe alamo! Here’s some google headlines:

Thank you, pissant. From my observations, we do not need ‘insurance reform’...we have a healthcare shortage! I’m getting better care home alone than I got in the hospital and I think I’ll pay my bill accordingly...:<) I finally said I was leaving whether they liked it or not.
But just as long as the illegal aliens get the proper care...what a load!
“I guess there will be plenty of room in the nuring homes if the cuts in medicare go through.”
I suppose that’s where the feds are finding the room in nursing homes for illegal aliens...they’re cutting funds to them for US citizens!
