Put 'em all in cages, shoot them up with drugs, and keep 'em locked up indefinitely.
They're dangerous. And the wrong color too. In spite of the fact that there's no evidence that crime goes up with immigration ... except in Trumps head.

I think you are missing the point of your quote. Someone enters the country illegally. They claim asylum. We have to check this out but that can take much more than 20 days. Since we have a law that we cannot detain children for more than 20 days it is a catch 22. Enter the US with a child, claim asylum, and they will have to free you before they can verify the claim.
I think it is obvious that there is a loophole here that some, if not most of the illegal aliens are going to take advantage of.
1. Claim asylum, you jump to the front of the line, saving 15 years that it can take.
2. Bring a child, they can't detain the child for more than 20 days, and there is no way they can verify your claim in that amount of time.
So since you are obviously a most humane and caring person, what is the solution?
