The Obama administration is bracing for another surge of illegal immigrants next spring, bringing online a family detention center that will have 2,400 beds.
“We must be prepared for traditional, seasonal increases in illegal migration. The Dilley facility will provide invaluable surge capacity should apprehensions of adults with children once again surge this spring,” said Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas S. Winkowski.
In advance of the president’s new pro-immigrant announcement set for Thursday night, ICE is readying its strategy for next year when over 100,000 illegals are expected to flood over the U.S.-Mexico border.
The agency said in a statement that it hopes illegal immigrants look at what they are doing in building holding facilities like the 2,400 bed center in Dilley, Texas, and will decide the trip isn’t worth it.
“These facilities help ensure timely and effective removals that comply with our legal and international obligations, while deterring others from taking the dangerous journey and illegally crossing into the United States,” he said.
But the construction of the facilities has not slowed the waves this year.
When Dilley opens in December, it will have 480 beds, but “ultimately” will hold 2,400, said ICE. It will be among the nation’s largest. The town’s motto is, “A slice of the good life.”

So can’t we just have our militia shutdown the ports of entry? Whatever happened to that idea that they proposed months ago? Did I miss something? What are they doing down there now, anyways? Haven’t heard anything as of late from them. Anyone know?
“…family detention center that will have 2,400 beds.”
“…next year when over 100,000 illegals are expected…”
Commie Core math, apparently.
Hahaha! I know, really. What a joke.
Setting up 2400 beds for this flood of illegals is like setting a Thanksgiving table for 2 at the Duggers house.
White sands missle range is were the detention facility should be built. Back side away from the roads. Tents same as we supply to other displaced persons. Run in a garden hose for water and air drop in food. They can wait there for there hearing postpone that for years that way. They leave make it a felony and deport them by Joe Joes pumpkin cannon back to south of the border.
The town’s motto is, “A slice of the good life.”
How many people in that town are “welcoming” the wetbacks that DON’T work for the federal government?
I’m willing to bet that the town’s entire population wants every Mexican dead by now.
