> They are asking for a solution that is realistic.

Indeed, they asked for “a good faith solution to the problem other than just letting them all stay here forever” and I explicitly said I did not have this. I also see them and you saying “someone” should come up with a solution and, failing to find one yourselves, say deportation without any court hearing is acceptable. I’ve outlined my reasons for why that is dangerous and unacceptable and you just throw up your hands and say it must happen because it’s happening.

(Did you notice how you went from “solution” to “outcome” and then back to “solution”? People are decrying the “outcome” because it’s a shit “solution”. Yes, it seems we are talking past each other.)

Thats perhaps a bad habit of mine, finding synonyms as I dont like to repeat the same word in the next sentence.

So on the other side "just letting them all stay here forever" is also an unacceptable solution.

So what then? There's no acceptable solution we are just screwed?


If "just letting them all stay here forever" is an unacceptable solution, then "send millions of people who are here legally or illegally to gulags forever" is an even less acceptable one.

This is a false dichotomy and a false equivalence. I’ll let you figure out what that means.


no need I know what those things mean.
