Not to mention the California is facing severe budget constraints as it is, so they think they need to spend more taxpayer money to confine trespassers longer?
On a lighter note, this is just one more amusing-if-it-weren't-so-sad example of the dog and pony shows Congressmen trot out all the time, sounding like absolute dumbshits talking out of their ass. They clearly have no clue what they're talking about and they clearly don't care, just so long as they get their media coverage pretending to be populist as they scream at scapegoats.
