However, what will be the solution for people that come into the US illegally, if not temporary detainment?

From reading the article, which is slightly unclear, I think they mean that the federal immigration detention centers in California that are privately run - probably by someone like G4S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4S_Secure_Solutions

From the article:
"California moved to end the use of private, for-profit lockups in America’s largest state prison system as well as in federal immigration detention centers in the state"
If you wanted a super-duper clear title then an alternate title for the entry here on HackerNews could be "California bans private prisons and _private_ immigration detention centers"

If we're going to have free movement it should probably be via a proper agreement, like in the EU. Not a mishmash of contradictory state and federal policies. And it should be mutual - if Mexicans and Canadians can live in the US, Americans should be freely allowed to live in Mexico and Canada.
