We had answers to these questions a year ago. Your morality has to start with something. That's why I said the "eat them" comment. Cooking kids and eating them would be an efficient solution to the problem. We're morally opposed to that, so no one defends them.

Most people are morally opposed to putting kidnapped children in wire mesh cages, so whatever the solutions ARE, they aren't that.

No one here is suggesting that cages are a good idea. I was simply asking what is an achievable alternative for the government given the nature and scale of the problem. "Not that" doesn't help, it only makes people feel superior to whomever has the shitty job of figuring this out. And this is not kidnapping, don't devolve into hysterics, you're better than chud.

I don't have the US Government's Executive Branch at my disposal, so I don't know the available resources or the opinions of experts, but I might suggest ...

- hotels
- putting up actual walls in these warehouses and keeping families together
- deporting faster
- speeding up sanctuary and refugee requests
- speeding up immigration court proceedings

I don't either, hence the original questions. We've got a man who is arguably the worst elected leader we have ever seen on a national level and after every dumb as fuck thing he does the best we come up with is "this is an outrage!" and then mumble about "his base" and racism. Even if it's true, that isnt going to help anything. We the people need to check our emotional instincts, try to understand the problem, understand possible courses of action to address it, then act and support those who act in line with the solutions we feel are correct. A basic rational, Enlightenment thought process. Nearly all of human progress over the last 300 years has been achieved this way, let's try it here too.

And ultimately, we can't vote this crew out of power if our best slogan is "not this".

There's no small amount of truth to this, and not just Democrats, but left-leaning parties generally in the UK, Australia, etc.

I told you that eating these kids was an option!
