A corrugated steel warehouse is shown Tuesday, June 24, 2014, in McAllen, Texas, that the U.S. government plans to turn into a processing facility for unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally, according to construction permits. The permits show plans for four fence-enclosed pods inside the warehouse that could eventually accommodate about 1,000 children. The Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by more than 52,000 unaccompanied minors that have been arrested since October 2013, after entering the Unites States illegally. (AP Photo/Christopher Sherman)

FILE - This June 18, 2014, file photo shows young detainees being escorted to an area to make phone calls as hundreds of mostly Central American immigrant children are being processed and held at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales Placement Center in Nogales, Ariz. Thousands of immigrant children crossing alone into the U.S. can live in American cities, attend public schools and possibly work here for years without consequences. The chief reasons are an overburdened, deeply flawed system of immigration courts and a 2002 law intended to protect children's welfare, an Associated Press investigation finds. (AP Photo/Ross D.
