STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): So, Mark, what will happen is these family units will be detained as a unit. Two questions for you. One, some critics say it's indefinite, which makes it sound like it could be 25 years, or 25 months, or something. Is it indefinite, and, also, if, for instance, somebody is posing as a family member, and they’re not part of the family, will they still be kept together?

MARK MORGAN (ACTING CBP COMMISSIONER): So, two great questions. The first one, indefinite. That's just a false narrative. And again, the three of you have been doing a great job. History shows -- remember, the family residential centers, this process, this isn't new. This is actually created in 2015 under the previous administration, under the family residential centers. So it's not indefinite, and history shows it's about 40 or 50 days. That's what we are talking about, from 20 to about 50 to 60 days in general is what we’re talking about. It's not indefinite. It's just long enough to go through the immigration process.
