We have no business taking people from their homes and expecting other countries to then bear the burden of providing a place for them. If we think the people need to be imprisoned, we'd better be willing to provide the prisons.

FWIW, we did imprison enemy soldiers _in this country_ during WWII. That seemed to work. We're also imprisoning some pretty bad people already. If we don't think we can properly keep these people locked up, then we have a much bigger problem than having enemies.
