When somebody comes into your country, wherever they enter is called a “port.” If a country wants to “deport” them the country must follow the law. A country can’t, for example, just escort somebody back out of their “port.” They have a treaty with their neighbors controlling when and where and under what circumstances they “deport.” It is unlikely Mexico will agree to accept the deportees as Mexico has free pamphlets they publish and distribute on how to make it across the border, what to take and what to say if you’re caught. (On the other hand, I’m sure Trump can find the right lever to pull to make Mexico our partner. Right now, it’s to Mexico’s advantage to export their crime and unemployed and unemployable citizens to a place where they can send back millions of dollars to the Mexican economy. That lever will be interesting to see once Trump finds it.)
The deportation law you cite applies to those foreign nationals who have entered the country legally, not fence-climbers.
Even if the leftist gets elected in Mexico (which he will), I think Trump will be honest with him and I think he’ll respect Trump. The problem in controlling Mexican border “immigrants” is that they’re not Mexicans, for the most part, but Central Americans, Middle Easterners and Chinese that Mexico lets the Cuban-controlled drug gangs ferry through the country. They are not allowed to stay in Mexico, btw. But Mexico lets them pass through.
That’s got to stop. As for Mexicans, a reasonable temporary work agreement would deal with any problem at that end because Mexico actually doesn’t want its people leaving. There are villages there that need the young men who left to work elsewhere because of Mexico’s corrupt, socialist union and gang controlled economy. If you can call it that.
So maybe Trump will make Mexico take a long hard look at itself. Mexican politicians have made their careers by attacking the big bad US and there has generally been no blowback from us or cost to them for this cynical manipulation of their own people. They’ve got to grow up.
“If a country wants to “deport” them the country must follow the law. A country can’t, for example, just escort somebody back out of their “port.” They have a treaty with their neighbors controlling when and where and under what circumstances they “deport.”
Nonsense.
Any sovereign country can make any internal law they wish concerning deportations. Any unfavorable treaty can be abrogated.
Any country who does not like that approach must have more real power than the country that chooses to act in such a fashion...in order to change the reality on the ground.
We need to fill both houses of Congress with people who will allow us to BUILD THE DAMN WALL! So sick of this Crap.
??? So when I went to England, and was at the airport, was that a “port”? The agent asked me if I planned on working. If I said Yes, was he prevented from sending me home?
