Graham will introduce immigration legislation that would "stop 90 percent of the illegal immigration from Central America." Deter asylum seekers from crossing the U.S. border outside ports of entry, Graham told Sunday Morning Futures, to see the number of days migrant children could be held in detention increased from 20 to 100 days.

They never show up for the hearing because it's three years from now."
