      Nobody will admit this, but the preferred solution from most on the Left is "let them loose in the country and who cares if they come back for their hearings to (almost certainly) be deported or abide by immigration law." And this of course is the problem.https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/1143492705932193792 …

      The situation with kids at the border is horrendous. I have no idea what the solution is and frankly I see very little talk about that aspect. I see a lot of "look at this suffering!" and a lot of "we need to do something!" but almost no "here's how to solve it."

      "Increased funding for detention facilities" isn't gonna fly -- that's been floated & response, of course, is "oh, more luxurious CONCENTRATION CAMPS?" The only answer that will satisfy is "set them free to roam in America, on the honor system that they'll show up for hearings."

          And furthermore, combo of "let them all free if they cross the border" plus "ABOLISH ICE" is the final tell: the preferred policy here on activist Left, unstated but easy to grok, is "if you manage to get across the border you get to stay here, forever, until the next amnesty."

          But the vast majority (89%) do come back for hearings, so perhaps that is the best solution.

          From any of the reports I've seen, at least with respect to asylum seekers, that actually works though. Are we going by evidence here or feelings?

          How about increased funding for asylum hearings and some streamlining for people from areas we know to be dangerous

          In addition to already-high rates of showing up, programs that provide access to lawyers or counselors increase it even further. Having an orderly process and reducing chaos goes a long way. Unfortunately, the admin only values shows of force against the vulnerable.

          Or we could go back to the pilot program Trump canceled. Case workers and electronic monitors.

          The other point that needs to be highlighted is the cruelty isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. This administration has repeatedly said through words and actions that cruelty is a an appropriate form of deterrent. Not all these problems are as simple as a lack of resources.

          Most of the data I’ve seen on this shows 9 in 10 show up for their hearings. Could we not invest in a system to close that gap further instead of spending to detain them? You are right that funding for better detention facilities is a terrible answer
