Self-deportation, srsly?
Wednesday, 6 August 2008 Jacob TomawU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has started a program to allow people to present themselves to ICE agent to be deported without being arrested.
The “Scheduled Departure” program allows immigrants who have been ordered to leave the U.S. but have no criminal history and “pose no danger to the community” to return to their home countries without first being arrested or detained, ICE said.
For the moment, I am going to ignore the absurdity of people who have so far successfully avoided ICE deciding to just leave.
So, ICE is making it really easy for people who have done nothing wrong, other than want to live and work here, to leave. However if you might pose a danger to the community, please for God’s Sake stay in the shadows and hide from authorities.
If we are going to have all such strict immigration law, let’s let anyone out of the country who is willing to leave.
