I am deeply concerned that the Department of Defense is preparing to house tens of thousands of migrant families and children in tents on military bases. Congress must fulfill its oversight duties and demand answers from DoD.https://twitter.com/hascdemocrats/status/1017533544724418566 …

It is appalling and unacceptable that the federal government is planning to detain migrants in tents at such an unprecedented scale in the first place.

Individuals do not have to be held in detention at all; there are safe, humane, and effective alternatives to detention that we can and should be implementing, such as the Family Case Management Program.

While I continue to push for an end to the mass detention of individuals and families, DoD must provide answers regarding their plans to house up to 32,000 migrant families and unaccompanied children on military bases. We must hold the Trump Administration accountable.

That would be a breach of security. Won't even let felons on their bases, why take a chance putting possible criminals there?

Where do you propose these people (who have already entered the country illegally) be housed? And how do you suggest that we pay for that housing?
