Seems they are upset about the Sensenbrenner-King (pdf) in congress.

H.R. 4437 will end the “catch and release” practice, an obvious gap in our nation’s
homeland security efforts. This year alone, some 120,000 illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico (OTMs) have been apprehended by the Border Patrol, only to be released due to a lack of detention space. H.R. 4437 incorporates H.R. 4312, legislation that was originally passed by the Committee on Homeland Security, requiring mandatory detention for all aliens who are apprehended at U.S. land borders attempting to cross illegally, by Oct. 1, 2006, and requiring all illegal immigrants apprehended at U.S. borders to remain in custody until removal from the country.

And the problem is?
