WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are transferring into federal prisons about 1,600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees, officials told Reuters on Thursday, in the first large-scale use of federal prisons to hold detainees amid a Trump administration crackdown on people entering the country illegally.

An ICE spokeswoman told Reuters five federal prisons will temporarily take in detainees awaiting civil immigration court hearings, including potential asylum seekers, with one prison in Victorville, California, preparing to house 1,000 people

I think it's ridiculous that we have to investigate every claim made for asylum, just wanting to leave your $#@!hole country, in order to sponge off of another country, isn't grounds for asylum.

Close to zero for a few generations. Base immigration solely on our needs. Let's take twenty years to study and consider the problem. Meanwhile let's get back in the business of making our own citizens. We need to cut taxes and end welfare so the poor stop breeding and the middle class start breeding.

We can say no.
