Reminding people again that if you try this in Australia, they’ll detain on the island of Nauru for the REST of your life. At least America returns them home. No country looks kindly to this shit regardless of leftist propaganda saying it’s actually NBD
It’s crazy how liberals are convinced that immigration enforcement doesn’t happen in other countries Doesn’t matter if you have a job or a meaningless character judgment as a “good person” illegal is illegal and you’ll get booted from any country for it

This is pretty controversial about Australia. Like Australia is the place that famously banned non-white immigration, it’s not who we should be looking to for chill normal immigration policy. America being very bad about it right now doesn’t mean other countries don’t have huge issues.

Nah lol hold up. "At least America returns them home" isn't true. The US has used Third-Country Removals (deporting somebody to a country other than their birth) for years, and the rate and lack of safety of it increases as the Trump admin drags on. How y'all manage to speak this confidently on shit while ignoring the reality of it is beyond me.

I really need to take a screenshot of an explanation of why this comparison fails to account for the actual dynamic in America because I get tired of typing it out over and over again.

A few years back New Zealand issues a formal apology to their Dawn Raids, which in the 1970s specifically targeted Pacific Islanders for immigration raids, despite them being only a third of visa overstayers. These raids ignored white visa overstayers, while catching many legal immigrants and Māori in the crossfire. Māori were even told they had to carry passports with them. This spurred a major Polynesian civil rights movement in New Zealand, and is looked back upon shamefully by the government

So no, this isn’t unique to the United states. But it’s also not some non-issue in other countries. People aren’t calling out the killing of American citizens and mass abuse of illegal immigrants just because it’s the USA doing it. They’re calling it out because it’s wildly unethical.

The short version is that cost to benefit ratios matter; we shouldn’t hunt down and deport people at great expense to the taxpayer and great harm to the economy and society simply because there’s some vague notion that itll fix some sort of issue

That’s because their country won’t take them back. Doesn’t give them a right to stay here.

This is not going to last forever it’s just cleaning up the mess from the Dem years of basically allowing anyone to claim asylum.

I love how leftists always create the societal conditions that necessitate a police state, then get mad when the police state needs to activate to cleanup messes left behind.

Absolutely untrue 💀 the trump admin might be unbothered by lying about this but we’re free agents, we can and should do our own research

This was true prior to Trump. You think if a country refuses to take back one of their own that someone gives them residency rights?

That's not what Third Country Removals are for. Their intended purpose is safety, for when a person is not safe in their country of origin. This abuse of the idea is costly, feeds corruption, and puts deportees in dangerous positions with zero resources and zero shared language. You are either parroting propaganda given to you by somebody else or fumbling your way through something you don't understand.

Not even sure what you’re really trying to say here. There may have been odd cases here or there where actual criminals weren’t welcomed back into their own countries but the trump admin doesn’t spend much energy catching actual criminals, ice mostly catches people who’s only crime is having expired paperwork. Deporting those people to third countries has nothing to do with their home countries accepting them or not, it’s simply a scare tactic. The trump admin wants people to know that they can
