As the endless illegal immigration crisis continues with upwards of 11,000 people crossing into the United States each day, Democrats are proposing National Parks as places to build tent cities and "temporary" housing for individuals breaking the law.
The plans were detailed during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a bipartisan lawsuit has been filed to prevent housing of illegal immigrants in New York parks and recreational areas.
"Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) announced she's joined Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens), Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D-Brooklyn) and a bipartisan group of elected officials in filing a lawsuit to block New York City from using Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field or any other park that's part of the Gateway National Recreation Area (which includes all of Staten Island's federal parks) to house migrants," Malliotakis' office released in a statement. "The lawsuit was filed in Staten Island Supreme Court along with eleven other members of the City Council and State Assembly and 24 Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island residents."
