in central america there are advertisements that say if you come to america and apply for asylum they have to give you a hearing, and they're right. people are trying to get apprehended. they're not avoiding detention. under our law you're entitled to a hearing. it could take three or four year for your hearing is scheduled and we don't have detention space to hold you for three or four years. word is out on the street, if you apply for asylum you'll be let loose in the country. the reason there's been a spike if you bring a minor child with you, you can't be held more than 20 days. i'm trying to go to 100 days. and right now we don't have the bed space to detain the family. so we're going to do two things. we have to have a longer processing time and more bed space. but if we did those two things, most of this flow would stop. and what it comes to unaccompanied minors, if the word got out on the street that the child could be sent back to their home country like if you came from canada and mexico, it would destroy the smugglers' business. this is a nightmare for smugglers. this is a
