US officials are expected to announce plans that would allow illegal immigrants not considered a threat to be taken out of jails, reports say.
The new policy would list immigrants according to the risk they may pose, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Detainees who are not criminals could be kept in hotels and nursing homes, according to leaks of the plans.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is expected to give details of the plans later.
Her department is hoping to cut the costs of detaining immigrants, which stood at almost $2bn (£1.3bn) in 2008.
It says alternatives like the hotels and nursing homes would cost about $14 a day, compared to about $100 a day for detention.
Health needs
Each year some 380,000 illegal immigrants are detained in US jails alongside regular prisoners, ahead of deportation.

This is mad.
Why not deport them NOW?
I’ve read where some of our veterans are without jobs and homes. How is it that we can take care of these illegals, yet not our former military people?
Wow. Swim the Rio Grande, stay in a hotel courtesy of Napolitano - all bills paid vacation. There are 25 million residents in Mexico City. Imagine how many want a vacation in the USA.

Send them home you G D M F _itch! Somebody get this woman some medical help. Nobody in their right mint would pick up the bill for hotel fees for these illegals. And there's no reason whatsoever to house them in nursing homes.
Deport them to the nation of their origon, and let their homeland sort it out from there.
She's gotta' do better than this ~ maybe keep them in her basement. They can mow her grass and wash her dishes while they wait.
And nursing homes? Was Napolitano the Obamista who wrote up the stuff about punishing patients? You know the ones ~ you miss paying your "fee" they send you to jail for a year.
Hey, now we know why she's doing this ~ it's to open up cell space for misbehaving Obamacare patients.
When these nutballs are finally out of office let's make sure they get detained in some sort of facility that will give the rest of us a warm and fuzzy feeling that they are permanently out of our hair.
“Detainees who are not criminals could be kept in hotels and nursing homes”
Well, I know where to get my drugs now.

oh, wait. I’m dead. Never mind.
I’ve got some room in the freezer.
I personally would like to put in a request, way in advance, for a room at the Ritz. Something truly Barj al-Arab. There will be lines.
Now THAT’S funny! Macabre, but funny!
hotels and nursing homes costing $14 a day???
Not in my hotel!
How about tents, a cot and MRE’s. If it’s good enough for our troops who lay their life on a line? This first class stuff needs to stop ASAP!!!!!
Give them some stimulus money to buy new homes and cars.
Send them to Joe Arapaio He knows what to do with them.
It’s this sort of news article that we all should know will never be reported in the US MSM, or if it is reported within our borders will be on PBS broadcasting BBC that we need to flag, and forward to family, friends, and associates on our individual mailing lists.
I’m going to send this one to about 23 individuals I have on my list that I know will appreciate this information right now.
Oh, I know - I know!! Maybe Janet could send each detainee to live with a family. That way there would be no cost to the government at all.
I wonder where that $14 figure came from.
WTF?
Are you an adult?
The purpose of all bureaucracies is to grow the problem. Make it worse.
Bureaucracies can not grow and prosper with out problems.
Worse......is....good.
Worse means bigger budgets, staff, offices, and ensured employment with full benefits until retirement. Retirement pay depends upon civil service rank. High rank can not be assured in small departments. Big departments handling big problems increases the chance of getting a high staff position.
You need to grow up and look at the incentives, from their point of view. Those that govern us.
I guess there will be plenty of room in the nuring homes if the cuts in medicare go through.
Really! It'll cost more than that to feed them at the McDonald's across the street from the hotel.
“When these nutballs are finally out of office let’s make sure they get detained in some sort of facility that will give the rest of us a warm and fuzzy feeling that they are permanently out of our hair.”
I have hard that SOYLENT Corporation has such a facility.
Less reliable sources claim ALPO also has a similar facility.
;-)
Sheer insanity. How STUPID can this woman and her cohorts be?
They just want these Dem voters to melt back into the population.
Nursing homes??? I don’t want these people anywhere my Mom or her friends at her residence? And hotels for $14 a night? You probably can’t find a flophouse anywhere in the country for that price.
How about the unused cells at Guantanomo? That would at least get most of them closer to home to start with.
EXCELLANT POINT!!!!
Veterans have to wait, sometimes months for vouchers to get a place to live.
...stimulus money for new homes and cars. I like your thinking. Can we toss in in-state tuition? How about some free medical care, too?
put’em on a barge headed south...depart via inner tube when near the country of orgin...
Worked really great with the Katrina evacuees.
It’s in today’s on-line Washington Post. I already made appropriately negative comments and laughed at the ignorance of the Obamistas in our midst.
They start putting these young bucks in the nursing homes there’ll be a lot of room as well as a cut in Medicare costs as the patients get robbed and murdered.
A quickj march to tthe border and a boot in the pants would prevent the need for
nursing homes that American seniors could be living in...
and hotels that American homeless could be living in...
Not to worry, democrats are defunding nursing homes, so illegals will be either put in hotels or on the streets of America with law-abiding, tax-paying citizens..
Nursing homes struggling across the state, many already in bankruptcy
Wisconsin is now ranked the worst in the country for reimbursing the cost of medical care to nursing homes and other elderly care givers. Administrators say that's why 17 percent of nursing homes in Wisconsin are currently going into bankruptcy -- and why many more may follow.
Nursinghomes face financial crisis
"What we're looking at is the start of what's going to be a real financial crisis in the nursing home industry," says Bortz Health Care Nursing Home administrator, Mark Crane.
Feds limit Arizona sheriff's immigration powers
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose office faces racial profiling allegations over crime and immigration sweeps in some heavily Latino areas of metro Phoenix, said officials from Washington won't let him renew a deal that let his deputies make federal immigration arrests.
"Let them all go brag that they took away the sheriff's authority. Let them all do that. That doesn't bother me. I don't have an ego. I will continue doing the same thing," the Republican sheriff said, noting he can still enforce state immigration laws. "What has changed, other than the politics and the perception emanating from Washington?"
I'm living in a '95 RV.
About to relinquish my citizenship.
I remember when my grandmother’s friends, one at a time were sent off to the state hospital when they showed signs of dementia. It was always considered a tragedy. My grandmother lived in New Jersey, so it was Ancora, a state hospital that was not much more than a warehouse for the mentally deficient. I’m afraid that is where we are headed, again. I remember hearing the sadness in my grandmother’s voice as she described the prison like dress that they made the patients wear.
“...Can we toss in in-state tuition? How about some free medical care, too?”
Absolutely, only don’t scrounge. Give illegals enough to go to better schools than the rest of us peons go to. Send them to Ivy league schools where they can learn to become liberal politicians. Let them have the Congressional medical plan. Why should the American taxpayers ever be free of paying for cheap, subsidized labor?
Most excellent plan. Let’s send them to Harvard to earn law degrees. Maybe the illegals can edit the Harvard Law Review. After all, it worked out real well the last time.
There are soooo many good posts on this thread!
14 bucks for a hotel? Whats wrong with MREs ( well they are more expensive than spam sandwich.)
The world has gone mad. I got out of the hospital a few days ago and lay here listening to it all. Boggles the mind, breaks the soul.
On a better note, yesterday in the wee hours of the morning on Rick Roberts radio show he had on Congressman Duncan D. Hunter. He sounded good, real good.
Welcome back AuntB. Hope your recovery is swift and you are out running marathons before long!!
Yes, Duncan D sounds an awful lot like Duncan L.
“Send them home you G D M F _itch! “
Yep!
This is so much crappolla I can hardly stomach it. I’m in the freakin’ twilight zone! There are dozens of ‘immigrant detention centers’...they are NOT prisons! And they have better medical care, etc. than our veterans get! In fact I just got out of the hospital, and these illegal squaters get better medical care than I got, I promise you!
These centers are constantly being improved, built because they have LOBBYISTS and the people running them contribute BIG to our pandering politicians...like Janet Nappin’atthe alamo! Here’s some google headlines:

Today.....Feds strip Arpaio of immigration authority

Thank you, pissant. From my observations, we do not need ‘insurance reform’...we have a healthcare shortage! I’m getting better care home alone than I got in the hospital and I think I’ll pay my bill accordingly...:<) I finally said I was leaving whether they liked it or not.
But just as long as the illegal aliens get the proper care...what a load!
“I guess there will be plenty of room in the nuring homes if the cuts in medicare go through.”
I suppose that’s where the feds are finding the room in nursing homes for illegal aliens...they’re cutting funds to them for US citizens!

Yep, if Americans don’t wake up, it will all be gone, in a split second.
