RE: Releasing the adults to avoid the separation is not an option - that’s the infamous “catch and release”.
Where in Ted Cruz’s proposed bill does it say “Catch and Release”?
Sorry I was unclear. I was pointing out that there is a codicil of the 1997 law that makes it illegal to hold the kids more than 20 days. Under the current law, therefore, either families are separated or the adults get released (what Obozo used to do).
If Cruz’s bill doesn’t address the 20 day limit, then we stay in the same stalemate we now have. I do not see it reasonable that an asylum claim can be adjudicated in 14 days unless it is a slam-dunk case for or against, or if the applications are all either rejected or accepted arbitrarily.
Just figuring out who many of the illegal aliens actually are will take more than 14 days, IMO.
