    Lots of people saying "just release them" which might play well on Very Online Left Twitter but in order to sell a policy change as dramatic as that to the general public -- even the Dem primary electorate -- you're going to need more than buzzy sloganshttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1146491860967481345 …

    What exactly are people proposing be done with the migrants in overcrowded facilities? Build nicer facilities? If so, that requires giving additional funds to “concentration camps.” Simply release them into the general population? What’s the underlying principle here?

        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.

        Just release them into Michael Tracey’s voluminous undeserved self-regard. Plenty of room in there.

        Forget that R’s passed massive sweeping tax cuts for the rich at like 25% approval. They almost passed their healthcare bill at 18%. But let’s make sure to really interrogate every granular detail here before we go forward with our plan to release people from concentration camps

        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.

        Clearly the best solution is concentration camps, thank you for your service Michael.

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