President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to house and detain up to 12,000 illegal aliens in Department of Defense facilities. In a letter to the Defense Department, DHS officials have asked that enough detention space be made available for the agency to detain up to 12,000 illegal aliens, specifically border crossing family units.
DHS officials say that if the Defense Department does not have the facilities to house that number, DHS is requesting that the agency identify land space to build “semi-separate, soft-sided camp facilities capable of sheltering up to 4,000 people, at three separate locations,” the letter states.
Preferably, DHS officials say they want these tent cities built in regions closest to the U.S.-Mexico border, in either Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or California.
At the least, DHS officials are requiring that facilities be found and converted or tent cities be built in the next 45 days to accommodate 2,000 illegal aliens.
For weeks, the Trump administration has worked closely with the Pentagon to find more detention space for border crossers in order to at least temporarily end the process known as “Catch and Release,” where illegal aliens are released into the U.S. while they await their immigration hearings.

I am fully on President Trump’s side.
My post was reality with the legal situation. I totally understand he wants to just send them all back. I do too. The thing is that is not something he can do today or likely tomorrow without huge legal repercussions. Reality is he is doing as much as he can, he is appointing more immigration judges, building more deportation centers- holding immigration hearings in the deportation centers. The legal mess is a disaster to work within.
That is why I say we need to really support him. We need to light a fire under our Congress critters to allow immediate return of all illegals at the border, no matter what country they came from. As it is now we can just send back Mexican and Canadian citizens caught at the border but not those of other countries without a legal process.
We also need to light a fire under Congress to change asylum so those seeking asylum in this country can ONLY apply at consulates outside the country. Only if they are granted asylum should they be allowed to enter this country. We should not process asylum seekers at the border.

Great video.
This has become a complicated nightmare. Unless there is a wall, the legal issues will continue to force illegals into the courts.
Trump will use this as an election year issue and get both a wall and immigration reform.
Ouch.
Maybe they could build tiny homes, and sell them afterwards. I’ve seen really cheap tiny homes.
Sorry that I am still confused. What stops border agents fro apprehending and escorting right back over the border?
Build the wall and we wouldn’t have to waste the money. I don’t know why we are bothering to house, feed, give them medical. They are not citizens they have no rights.
may I suggest Martha’s Vineyard? Plenty of unused rooms and its an island so they can’t escape
Build them on Nancy Pelosi’s vineyard.
Those tents are comfortable and air-conditioned. They receive three nutritious meals per day plus snacks. They get medical and dental care, schooling, entertainment, recreation, social workers, and much more. I wish our homeless and poor veterans had all that.

New York, san Fran on da screet sa
A story of lawyers lining their pockets.
It will called concentration camps, even if “families are kept together.”
Impose a Illegal Immigrant Tarrif on all countries that send illegal immigrants to the USA.
I thought there were 11 million.
****************************
There were 11 million in 2000.
After Bush II and the Kenyanesian Usurpation it must be at least triple that.
Some Republican office holders want amnesty and open borders, same as the Democrats.
Rubio, Flake, McCain, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, Corker and Alexander already voted at least once to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
Graham says he’ll keep doing it until he is removed from office.
We will not get legislation favorable to the citizens until all the Bush League Republicans are replaced with patriots.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
There’s another 100+ in the House
must be pretty loud at night...
