'To bring hundreds of people here every week without providing the necessary resources to house and feed them is inhumane,' Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen said.

A South Florida mayor has offered up a proposal to deal with the Trump administration's plan to release hundreds of asylum seekers into two of the region's counties: bring them to Trump hotels and ask President Donald Trump to open up his own"heart and home."

Branding the approach"irresponsible," Bogen said that while his office would do"everything possible" to help asylum seekers, without help from the federal government the plan could risk creating a"homeless encampment" in Broward County. If U.S. immigration officials do leave asylum seekers stranded in South Florida, however, the Broward County mayor said he has a plan.

In a separate statement, Democratic Florida Rep. Lois Frankel condemned the Trump administration for "using human beings as political pawns" and vowed that her office would be looking into the issue. It is unclear why South Florida appears to have been chosen early on as a location for asylum seekers to be released. CBP has not immediately responded to a request for comment from Newsweek.
