>Short term they should be held in humane conditions, trials should not take months and instead take weeks at most, families should not be separated. It's not rocket science. Take some of the money you're burning up every day and spend it here instead (and on other things that improve the lives of people). Current updated immigration detention facilities are on par with or better than most other developed countries. The problem is with the overcrowding. It's too bad that efforts to improve the efficiency of the system (and thus the crowding), whether it is furniture or tech like Chef is experiencing such counter-productive boycotts. Over a year ago there was a plan to give current illegal residents a pathway to citizenship and build a wall to significantly reduce the now 100k+ monthly crossings -- it was opposed by the same activists now complaining of the consequences.
