US wants to build more tents at border to detain migrants

[Control-Z]

6. If military tents were used as intended

there would be beds for each person. And there would be a maximum number of people per tent. Which, of course, means there would be a need for more tents. They would also have to designate tents to house men, women and families - at least mothers with their young children. Fathers and older sons may need their own tent as well.

If done correctly and humanely, there would not be a problem with hot and cold temps. These tents are raised on a solid foundation that is constructed first, and are designed to include AC and heating - like they do for the military in, say, the Middle East. There would also be a mess tent where food would be prepared or brought in and served. Hell, in the Middle East, depending on the job and location, there might be a Taco Bell or MacDonald's tent year round. There would also be a bathroom tent and one for showers.
