If they’re “immigrants”, by definition a legal status, why do they need detention?
Keep in mind this story is from the nytimes. Immigrant must be the new PC term for ‘illegal alien’. Most of which are probably repeat offenders, that is why they are finally locked up. Now Obama has given them a nice place to live and eat up tax payer dollars, others will hear about the new ‘detention center’ and will want to find out what it is all about.
