This moron Napolitano needs to go. See should just come out and admit she has no intention of enforcing ANY immigration laws. Barry and his ilk have to be on some sort of mission to keep pulling this ####.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - The United States, criticized for holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded and poorly run jails, on Tuesday announced plans to convert hotels to detain some noncriminal immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said illegal immigrants ranging from criminals to newly arrived asylum seekers would be held in different facilities according to the risk they pose.
"This is a system that encompasses many different types of detainees, not all of whom need to be held in prison-like circumstances," Napolitano told a conference call.
Referring to noncriminals such as newly arrived asylum seekers, Napolitano said, "We will begin efforts to house these populations near immigration service providers and pursue different options like converted hotels or residential facilities for their detention."
About 32,000 immigrants to the United States are held at any given time in about 350 local jails and private prisons, which have been criticized for providing poor medical care and oversight.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

I have seen these "jails" they hold a lot of illegals in on the West Coast.......they are already held in converted residential facilities. What's next? Holiday Inn and Metropolitan Breakfasts?

Yeah, what hotels are they going to forcefully take over and convert? Bunch of damn thieves.

They generally re-hab delapidated and run-down flea-bags, and not so much "forcefully take over and convert".

How can they call an illegal "non criminal". They are breaking the law by being here illegally.

Its a political thing, heck not even the republicans would do much to stop the flow of illegals.. It is a two party, and American problem..

simplyred1962 · **^ Top** #8 10.13.2009

And, exactly WHERE, pray tell, would these "criticizing" countries hold U.S. citizens who had entered THEIR country ILLEGALLY???
Would they hand us a key card to the nearest hotel?? NO, they would NOT! They would throw us into a jail that makes Arpaios tent cities LOOK like the Hilton, in comparison!!
WHY? Hmmmm, let me think....maybe because we would be CRIMINALS, for being in their country ILLEGALLY???!!!???

I agree with Simplyred1962, we should give the same comfort to people from other countries as they do us. Lousy jail, bare floor, bread & water....guess they'll go home or not break the law. Duh....we are way too nice over here....way too nice.

Problem is politicians don't see it that way.. Besides they don't think for themselves anyway, the lobbyist do it for them
