Experts say that these recent efforts to expel Mexicans to crisis zones like Libya and now South Sudan demonstrate the casual cruelty of the Trump administration.
“I’ve been doing immigration detention work for a very long time. I’ve never in my life seen Mexico refuse to take back one of its nationals, ever,” Anwen Hughes, the senior director of legal strategy for refugee programs at Human Rights First, told The Intercept last month. The Port Isabel detention center, where the men were held before being flown to Africa, is less than 30 miles from the Mexican border. “The U.S. appears to be looking for really implausible destinations to send people. It’s not just punitive, it’s deliberately terrifying and honestly perverse,” said Hughes.
If Mexicans get deported, they'll return within the same month. Dumping them in civil war-ridden South Sudan is a much better option. :')
This is the way. Terrifying them so they dont come.. it is genius actually. If they just get deported back down south, they'll be back in a few weeks. If we drop them off in some shithole across the ocean, they wont make it back. Best thing is.. instead of negotiating with shitty ass mexico or venuzuela to take back their people.. we just pay some third world crack pot in africa a few bucks to let us drop them off there

They still forget the part where we literally give them a thousand dollars if they voluntarily leave.
You chose this, rather than free money. No sympathy.
