Quick bucks

Considering that the organizations housing those children would charge USD 775 per night for a bed in a tent city, this looks like a really big money-making scheme.

You can't do tax cuts all the time, once in a while you need to come up with something new to give your friends money...

There is no zero-tolerance policy. There is only a family separation policy.
"The official story of the Trump administration's family separation policy is that it came about as a result of "zero tolerance" in which every person who could be charged with a crime would be, and that meant that parents were arrested too, and since the parents were going to jail, their kids had to be held somewhere.

"But as Congress has delved into the process, grilling the Trump officials who enforced the policy, an even crueler, more awful picture has emerged.

"It turns out that border guards charged "less than a third" of the adults who crossed the border since the policy began -- but that they preferentially brought charges against parents so they could take their kids away.

In other words, child separation wasn't the inadvertent side-effect of a zero-tolerance policy." It was the policy.
