Lindsey Graham says that he does not care if migrants stay in detention centers more than a year.

Senator Lindsey Graham said that he had no problem keeping migrants in an overcrowded and nauseating facility at the border for more than a year. "No matter what – they have to stay in these facilities for 400 days, we will not let those men go, that I've seen," Graham told Maria Bartiromo, of Fox News, the Sunday morning.

Graham, who visited Texas places of detention alongside Vice President Mike Pence, made a point of characterizing the men who were in those places as hardened criminals. "What I saw is a group of people who have come here before, who have already broken the law and we will not let them go," said Graham, adding that it would be dangerous.

Graham insisted that all those detained in detention centers "violated our law," adding that "many have already done so". As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graham should probably know that seeking asylum in the United States is not against the law.

The senator also repressed those who called concentration camps detention centers. "It's not a concentration camp I've seen," he said. "It's an overwhelmed facility. I am willing to buy beds for these people so they have a better place to sleep, but I will not let them go. "

With his words, Graham seemed to side with President Donald Trump, who seemed to reach a different conclusion than that of Pence regarding the state of detention centers for migrants. While Pence said the conditions in the detention centers were not acceptable and accused the Democrats, Trump dismissed any such concerns in a series of tweets on Sunday morning.

In addition to defending detention centers, Graham also said that 30% of people crossing the border with children are "fake families". The senator said that there are children who participate in the scam to cross the border with different adults. . "Our laws are set so that if you can bring a small child from Central America to Central America, we can only keep it for 20 days, then we let the whole family go because we do not want Separate families, Graham said. This means that children are "exploited" and forced to travel from Central America many times. "They are looking for the child in Central America, they are taking him to the United States, everyone is released and the child is going back to Central America to do it again," he said. "They are doing this trip, God knows what's happening to them along the way."
