TalkLeft has promised a dissection of the proposed immigration reform “compromise”, now that actual language is out.
The first little nugget that has been uncovered:
The Secretary shall construct or acquire, in addition to existing facilities for the detention of aliens, at least 20 detention facilities in the United States that have the capacity to detain a combined total of not less than 20,000 individuals at any time for aliens detained pending removal or a decision on removal of such aliens from the United States subject to available appropriations.
I still think that the hoops being erected to normalize the status of the undocumented immigrants makes this a bad idea.
