i know you don't actually give a shit about discussing policy but i'll pretend you do for a sec: "just releasing" people wasbasically policy until the '90s. mass immigrant detention wasn't a thing until the 1996 illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibilty act :)

your original tweet asks what should be done *Ideally* not what is politically palatable to the US general public.
-
anyways, international humanitarian law says you are prohibited from detaining asylum seekers while their case is considered. it's hardly a radical principle.

The people have demanded concentration camps! I mean, no one's asked them, but I just know that's what they've demanded!
-
The thing is, why couldn't any primary candidate just say that they'd close the camps? Seems like easy money to me.

Good point! Well just have to continue letting them get tortured so we don’t upset some hypothetical voters!

I'm pretty sure releasing people from concentration camps would play well with the entire Democratic base, and possibly some of the Republican base.
