However if any of you bitching liberals do want to pay for better accommodation you are welcome to donate the millions it will cost you.

I partially agree with you.
We need to change our asylum laws. If you want to claim asylum, the ONLY place you can do this is at a US Embassy. Don't have a US Embassy in your country, no problem - go to a country that does.
As for locking them up.... Entering the United States illegally is a misdemeanor.... Misdemeanors are usually punished with community service, probation, or a short jail term. We shouldn't lock them up for a year or longer for what is a misdemeanor. In fact, we aren't locking them up for a crime at all... We are locking them up while their asylum claim is processed, which can take a year or longer.
We didn't have these problems under Obama.
