Detention centers for illegal immigrants bring unwanted attention to the communities where they're housed.
In some of the worst cases, the detention facilities have been an environment of overcrowding, sexual assault, lawsuits, public protests and even death.
The average cost of detaining an immigrant is $95 per person/ per day. Alternatives to detention, which generally include a combination of reporting and electronic monitoring, are effective and significantly cheaper, with some programs costing as little as $12 per day. These alternatives to detention still yield an estimated 93% appearance rate before the immigration courts.

Either you are part of the salution, or your part of the problem. Build the border fence, then we talk. Or go back to sticking your head in the sand.

Agree with Michael Jungers. Don't wait for perfection in a bill. Plug the dike first.
