One advantage of all the bad media publicity around “Alligator Alcatraz” and the other US detention centers is that it gets illegals to self-deport. The media is lying about how bad the facilities are, but by lying, they are playing into Trump’s hands by making illegals think its going to be horrible to be in one of the facilities.

The value of knowing your enemy and using that knowledge to manipulate them into promoting your cause!

Indeed. Reports out of DHS suggest that voluntary departures greatly exceed deportations. That’s good for us and good for the departing aliens. But it’s spurred on by the aggressive arrest and deportation campaign. So that needs to continue and grow.

This is what I advocated all along. Leave them in jail while they fight deportation and they will give up and just go home.

There's no fun in that.

Can we at least watch them board the planes with long faces.
