Fund the detention centers (again, Congress controls that). Build and fund them. Then we'll talk about detention. - 1pg

================

Right now the states and cities are bearing the cost of catch and release, not just in dollars to house, etc, but also the crime that comes with free ranging foreigners.

It would be much cheaper overall to build massive detention facilities and hold them near the POE for as long as it takes. The problem is the costs are presently hidden throughout 50 state budgets and thousands of city budgets. Texas alone has spent $10B on immigration related matters over the last five years. We should have built detention facilities instead.

Suggested funding source: Clawback the billions in unspent Covid Relief funding and use that to build the facilities. With Covid being behind us, any unspent funds are slowly bleeding off into other programs.
