The federal agency that oversees immigration detention will solicit bids next month for a new 2,200-bed detention center in the Los Angeles area.
Update:
As of Dec. 14 ICE has delayed its bid solicitation date.
"The Government anticipates release of the solicitation during the first quarter of 2010. The response date will be changed based on the date of release," according to the fedbizopps.gov.
A Council on Foreign Relations report on recommended fixes to the nation's broken immigration system, released yesterday, didn't just outline the numerous ways to address the mess. It also offered some dissenting voices, among them ending the practice of giving citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrant parents.
As can be expected with a new administration in Washington, there has been a stream of reports, studies, and recommendations on how to fix the nation's broken immigration system penned by think-tanks, NGOs, advocacy groups and the like since President Obama took office in January.
