If it’s good enough for our troops, it’s plenty good enough for illegals.

Major hotel chains headquartered in the Washington, D.C., area pledged not to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to use its hotel rooms as backup detention centers for immigrants targeted in this weekend’s raids.
“Our hotels are not configured to be detention facilities, but to be open to guests and community members as well,” Marriott International wrote in a statement dated Thursday. “While we have no particular insights into whether the U.S. government is considering the use of hotels to aid in the situation at the border, Marriott has made the decision to decline any requests to use our hotels as detention facilities.”
Choice Hotels, a D.C.-area company that owns 11 hotel chain brands including Quality Inn, echoed Marriott’s statement, saying Thursday that it’s asked its franchised hotels to “only be used for their intended purpose.”
“We are not aware that any of our franchised hotels, all of which are independently owned and operated, are being asked to serve as detention facilities,” the company’s statement reads. “We do not believe hotels should be used in this way and will decline any requests to do so.”

A little PC virtue signaling for no reason at all?
No one asked them.
BTW...how come they say they “own” those hotels? Isn’t that a matter of American laws? If they don’t really believe in those laws, then um....who said you own that dirt, Kemo Sabe?
Maybe they could get with the program and act like Americans. Or pack and leave, before we repossess the ground for our people.
If it’s good enough for our troops, it’s plenty good enough for illegals.
But will the chains rent to ICE officers who are in the field doing their duties away from home? That became something of a flashpoint for ‘activists’ during the Ferguson, MO ‘troubles’.
Oh well, guess we’ll have to leave them in the car with the windows rolled up so they don’t escape.
They could lease cruise ships.

Illegal aliens should just be moved on out.
Message to the “major hotel chains”: ICE IS ABOUT TO DEVELOP A BIG LEAGUE INTEREST IN THE IMMIGRATION STATUS OF ALL YOUR HOUSEKEEPING AND KITCHEN STAFFS!
Let’s see how you feel under close examination.

My children are grown, and NEVER disturbed anyone in a hotel or a restaurant.
My oldest granddaughter, now nine, started attending the Metropolitan Opera before she was four years old. Last season I took her to three performances. I wish the adults around me would be as well behaved as she. My younger granddaughter, six years old, has only been once and that during the past season because she is more of a risk. She was well behaved but I was prepared to leave anytime she made a sound and sacrifice $400 worth of tickets. (I first took their mother when she was eight, and many seasons thereafter. She was always well behaved too. I remember sitting one time in a Center Parterre Box with her and some old ladies we shared the box with gave me a look of disgust when they arrived. They were the ones noisily unwrapping candies sometimes it seemed for a minute at a time.)
As for dogs, count yourself lucky if you've never stayed next to one whose owner went out for a night on the town. After more than a hour of barking, I asked the folks at the front desk to have the police come and remove the dog. They declined and comped my entire stay which did absolutely nothing for me as my client was paying my travel expenses. If I cannot smoke my cigars, I don't want to stay in a room recently occupied by a smelly dog. Sorry.

“No one asked to use our rooms so we’re saying no.”
Cut in a single-wide door and a bunch of 3" holes.
Budget friendly.
.
What. Pres. Trump should do is pull all ICE and Border Patrol out of sanctuary states and let them melt down from the flood of illegals.
Yeah right. How many lawsuits for breaking the emoluments clause would that bring?
You and, by extension your goldilocks, seem to have some paranoia about “big burly guys”.
Do y’all prefer the pajama boy type?
Fine. The mom and pop hotels will rake in the $$$$.
Crimillegals should not get to stay in the US at taxpayer expense, period. Round ‘em up and put them on the first bus back south.
I guess the raids will include Marriott’s payrolls
“...SLOUCHING TOWARD GOMORRAH...
Actually, we’re almost at a dead run to it.
I don’t want to stay in a room recently occupied by a smelly dog. Sorry.

My recently deceased wife absolutely could not stay in one due to extreme allergies, no matter how well they say they clean them and anybody saying a pet is more important than a child is an idiot, (I know that’s not your position).
