PHOENIX (Reuters) - The United States, criticized for holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded and poorly run jails, on Tuesday announced plans to convert hotels to detain some noncriminal immigrants.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said illegal immigrants ranging from criminals to newly arrived asylum seekers would be held in different facilities according to the risk they pose.

Unbelievable! They should be used to construct their own concentration camp. Put them up in the ‘socialist states’ like CA, MA, CT, NY...

‘Will be held?” I think this means, really, will be HOUSED, at the taxpayers’ expense, as long as they need. Could be years, I bet. Do we pay for maid service? Toilet paper? Food supplies? Electricity and gas? Water bills? Inquiring minds want to know ...

...and in each room, instead of the Bible, which is traditionally found in hotel rooms, will be either:

A-The Audacity of Hope

B-The Koran

C-The Communist Manifesto

D-The Guide to Never Really Working Again (SEIU application)

E-The New York Times

F-The Wit of Joy Behar (all pages are blank)

I think this is a terrific idea!

I would just love to see hotels in the districts represented by Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank filled with "detained migrants".

Or how about filling some of the nicer hotels in Las Vegas (represented in the Senate by Harry Reid) with lots of "detained migrants"?

Perhaps some of the posher hotels in New York City (Senator Chuck Schumer and representative Charlie Rangel) could hold some more "detained migrants".

Well, if they run out of room, they could also use those old FEMA trailers from Katrina. Whatever happened to those?

The concentration camps are for US citizens who don’t follow the NEW rules and pay the Obama’s bills.

Yes, you can bet that we will be paying for 3 meals a day, top quality medical care, etc., etc..

Seems to me if they are ILLEGALS then they are indeed criminals. Their first act on American soil was to break the law.
