Illegal Immigrants To Be Held In Former Hotels


Nursing homes would also be used as Napolitano aims to reform detention

WASHINGTON
- Illegal immigrants awaiting deportation would be confined according to the risk they may pose under a new plan being proposed by the homeland security secretary.

Former hotels, nursing homes and other sites would be used to hold nonviolent, non-criminal immigrants as part of a larger plan to reform immigration detention, according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press. The alternative sites are intended to cut the costs of detaining immigrants, which reached nearly $2 billion in 2008.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will detail her plan Tuesday. The reforms were previewed by the agency in August without as much detail.

Ummm... A bus holds 50. Holloway tours rents them. The border is, what, 20 hours away? Add another couple days for the return trip and PRESTO! room for 50 more! All Aboard!

Now WHO do you want to put up in hotel rooms?

What part of "DEPORT" don't we understand?
