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

> 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.

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?

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

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.
