These are processing facilities used to hold potential deportees while their due process is provided.

You do realize that the bottleneck in the process of providing due process is with immigration judges, right? We don’t have enough judges to get through all the people wanting to enter the country.

The other interesting thing to know is that the vast majority of those being picked up are in the system, following the law and attempting to correct their errors in coming to the country. They are adding to the prosperity of the country, not taking away from it.

So by picking them up and putting them in detention facilities, it is costing the citizens of this country in two ways. We lose what they were adding to our economy plus we are paying for the cost of these additional facilities.

When these folks are on pre trial release, they are providing for themselves. When they’re in detention, you and I and everyone else are paying for their food and housing and for their jailers.

That’s your tax money going to support illegal aliens.
