“McSally called for an amendment to the settlement from the court case Reno v. Flores to allow for the government to detain families entering the country illegally for more than 20 days as their asylum proceedings occur.””
McCain 2.0. Her “solution” is that we get to keep them in a detention center for a year or two till their case comes up. Sounds cheap to house, feed, and ride herd on a million people for a year or two.

“Her “solution” is that we get to keep them in a detention center”
That seems to be the Administration’s plan, as expressed by Kris Kobach (one of the leading candidates for DHS Secretary, or Immigration Czar). She seems to be participating as part of the lead team in the Senate.
Kobach has proposed a three point plan. This legislation seems to address one of the points, and setting up new detention capacity with old FEMA trailers is another.
DoD has already received a request to identify places to house 5,000 unaccompanied children
Seriously, what else do you think might be feasible to actually get done, given current conditions with Democrats controlling the House, and the likelihood of judicial injunctions?
Yeah, the system is so horrible an unfair. If I drive drunk or rob a store with my daughter in the car, it’s a travesty that she can’t come to jail with me.
