Biden briefing calls for 20,000 child migrant beds

Asylum seekers generally do not have access to housing, food stamps, or other benefits afforded to documented immigrants or citizens, while they are also barred from working for long periods of time. This places many in a difficult situation, and exposes them to the risk of ending up in homeless shelters.

What you are suggesting is more complicated than you think. I assume you think asylum seekers just magically get housing once a judge grants it? There are an estimated half million illegal entries into the United States each year. Even 3000 judges and 3000 "asylum apartments" cannot keep up with those numbers. If immigration were easy, a democratic president would have fixed it years ago.
