At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on illegal immigrant detention this week, both democrats and republicans agreed illegal immigrant families should be kept together. But that’s where the agreement ends. Democrats want them released, but Republicans like Texas Senator John Cornyn wants them detained until their hearing.
Senator Ted Cruz has proposed a bill that sets up a speedy trial for families seeking asylum so their time in detention would be minimum.
