We have no law to limit on building beds right now unless disaster gets rammed thru .
Then there is a actual limit .

We have 49,000 by the way.

We got screwed and Shelby wanted this limit for the Koch Bros crowd .

We have 49,000 by the way.

I'm not sure that's right.

That was the number in Trump's 2019 budget but since we're still operating DHS at 2018 levels under a CR I don't think the additional beds ever got funded.

I believe there IS an approved limit of 40,000 beds.
