The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is doing wrong and trying to hide it by denying access to it. HOW DARE THEY? What evil is going on behind the walls and chain link fences and tents that a local official is NOT ALLOWED to witness it? What is happening to the children who are being treated like things. Is anyone out there concerned at all about any of it? Anyone anywhere? SIGH. :(
I don't know the security requirements for a "detention center".
So I'm just going off what I know of prisons and jails.
Those limit who can just walk in ... and you are strictly limited where you can go ... for obvious reasons.
Personally, if I have to take all day to get a number and wait in line at the DMV to renew my license ... I don't see why it should be any different to get in the country legally.
Of course, I'd also favor sending special forces and assassination teams to "take care of" the drug gangs that are the reason so many people are fleeing those countries. Seems to me, it would be a lot less expensive for us.
