Trump Requests Detention Space, Tent Cities to Detain 12K Illegal Aliens
Breitbart ^ | 1 Jul 2018 | John Binder

Posted on 07/01/2018 8:08:55 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to house and detain up to 12,000 illegal aliens in Department of Defense facilities. In a letter to the Defense Department, DHS officials have asked that enough detention space be made available for the agency to detain up to 12,000 illegal aliens, specifically border crossing family units.

DHS officials say that if the Defense Department does not have the facilities to house that number, DHS is requesting that the agency identify land space to build “semi-separate, soft-sided camp facilities capable of sheltering up to 4,000 people, at three separate locations,” the letter states.

Preferably, DHS officials say they want these tent cities built in regions closest to the U.S.-Mexico border, in either Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or California.

At the least, DHS officials are requiring that facilities be found and converted or tent cities be built in the next 45 days to accommodate 2,000 illegal aliens.

For weeks, the Trump administration has worked closely with the Pentagon to find more detention space for border crossers in order to at least temporarily end the process known as “Catch and Release,” where illegal aliens are released into the U.S. while they await their immigration hearings.

LOL, I like the way you think!

I expect that was a “HERE! HOLD MUH BEER!” moment.

I think this is saying...if you Democrats want the children with the so called parents, that’s just fine. We ‘Lloyd’s find detainment facilities. We will NOT release them into our society without vetting.
Wanna stay in a tent at Fort Bliss forever with your “children”? Ok no problem...no job no anchor baby for you.

Camp Pendleton is on the short list for a tent city.

There was a tent city there for about 50,000 Vietnamese refugees for about 9 months back in the mid 70s.

Detention of illegal aliens from outer space will be the responsibility of the new “Space Force” and will be done on the Moon... The moon will act as Ellis Island for space aliens immigrating to the US. A new Statue of Liberty in a spacesuit is being designed by Bert, the two headed space octopus from the Rings of Saturn. Any criminal behavior will be dealt with by MICE (Moon Immigration and Custom Enforcement). There are plenty of MICE on the moon (and not because it is made out of green cheese).

Got to change the law to allow summary disposition of crossers from non-contiguous states.

12,000 beds? I thought there were 11 million.

Should be enough in my calculation.

Have you seen how many wetbacks can get in front of a single cab F150?

Catch them. Deport them. NO TRIALS by blacked robed thugs.

PDJT is starting to sway like a willow in a hurricane on this illegal crap. First, no trials for these illegal invaders and deporting them right back across the border to this.

I have said all along that these invaders do not qualify for trials in front of a bunch of Federal blacked robed thugs and should be deported immediately.

The Federal gubermint does not want to secure the borders. One party wants the cheap labor and both parties cater to the ILLEGAL votes instead of fixing the problem.

Yeah but campaign promises are not real. OH WAIT....he is our president when he said this.

Does flip flopping matter now or do we wait for the next round of tweets?

Trump has no choice. He wants zero tolerance but by law anyone claimimg asylum has a right to a hearing....which typically has a 3-5 year waiting time before it occurs. The Feds have typically released the border jumpers into our society after assigning a court date because they haven’t the facilities to hold everyone for five years. Of course the illegals never show up to court and after having been here for five years the Dems say it’s cruel to deport them since they are now part of the fabric of our society. Trump, says, OK. I’ll give these people their day in court, but they don’t get to wander throughout our country.....instead they must live in tent cities until their hearing. Until congress changes the laws, this is our best option. Also, a big wall would prevent illegals from getting on our soil in the first place...which is why the ‘build the wall’ option is popular.
