US sanctions 4 countries for not accepting deportees

The Department of Homeland Security announced that the US would impose sanctions on 4 countries for not accepting their nationals who have been deported from the United States.

Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone will not be allowed to issue visas for various classes of individuals.

The sanctions had been discussed for several months as the US is at odds with several countries over returning their nationals who entered the country illegally. 

Fox News:

“International law obligates each country to accept the return of its nationals ordered removed from the United States,” Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke said in a statement.

“Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have failed in that responsibility,” she added, noting that the “one-way street ends with these sanctions.”

Under the sanctions, the U.S. will stop issuing all category B visas for tourism and business to citizens of Eritrea, a nation of about 5 million people.

In Cambodia (15.7 million), top government officials and their family members will be denied entry to the U.S. on a business or travel visa.

In Guinea (12.6 million), top government officials will no longer be able to obtain category B nor student and cultural exchange visas.

Don’t they want all their hard-working, educated, law-abiding citizens back?

Maybe not a good idea. The craphole they came from is probably a lot worse than Gitmo. 3 hots and a cot? “I’ll STAY here. Just don’t send me back there.”

I have visited a limited number of countries, but based on personal experience, incarceration would be better than living as a common citizen of Somalia or Bangladesh.

I’m sure others can expand the list.

12 and a half or 13 miles is plenty far enough.
