Create policies aimed at keeping families intact. Consider alternatives to incarceration such as electronic surveillance.
Just saw an interview with one of the lawyers visiting the border facility - designed for 105 adult males, populated with north of 350 children, some of then toddlers. They are supposed to be there for just hours, and actually are for months in many cases.
According to her, the overwhelming majority have parents or relatives in the U.S., who would sponsor them. They could be released to them today, and could have been actually released long ago.
The conditions are actually more inhumane and more degrading than I have read so far.
The cost to the U.S. taxpayer for this detention is $776 per child. I mean, $776 per day, for children sleeping on concrete under aluminum blankets in a cage, fed the same canned food every day, defecating, sleeping and eating in the exact same cage, no education, no toys, no playground, nothing. That means, this facility alone generates more than a cool million in revenue every other day.
Concentration camps can be quite lucrative, it seems. No one should even consider thinking about how the criminal length of that "detention" has anything to do with money. And then, there are some soulless automatons applauding that atrocity.
