Why don’t we just give each one a hundred thousand dollars and turn them loose in the US. it would be cheaper on the long run..
But how many would refuse to leave the new “detention center” because it is the nicest [lace they ever lived in!!!!

Looks as good as most La Quinta and Super 6 motels around here. Wonder if room service is provided?

If they’re “immigrants”, by definition a legal status, why do they need detention?

HAHA. Thats what I was thinking. Next step up is the JW Marriot.

“I didn’t jump the border essay the border jumped me.”
Funny saying from an illegal I knew once upon a time.

Keep in mind this story is from the nytimes. Immigrant must be the new PC term for ‘illegal alien’. Most of which are probably repeat offenders, that is why they are finally locked up. Now Obama has given them a nice place to live and eat up tax payer dollars, others will hear about the new ‘detention center’ and will want to find out what it is all about.

Exactly my point.

The lying Left is constantly allowed to set the ground rules on nomenclature.

This place is a great incentive to get out of Mexico. Once word of this great place gets to people who want out of Mexico, swim that river and get there. I live in Texas and this will bring more of them to invade us.

Illegals should not exempted and protected from prosecution of the laws they are breaking and put up in an upscale hotel..illegals will be coming here just to get placed there.. This is Better than Holiday Inn Express !

Before the Texas Revolution Mexico regarded the Nueces River as the border. 176 years later today they have virtually restored that border.

Years ago I was in San Antonio for a Spurs game and saw an advertisement for the Alamo on TV, I almost lost it when I noticed that a Mexican flag was flying over top of the Alamo in the advertisement. True story....no American or Texas flag beside it either. Many people throughout the Northern U.S. have no idea how this issue has escalated over the past 20 years
