    Deportation, and what’s currently being done, don’t have the same core existence.

    Currently, deportation is being weaponized.

    At its core, deportation is a perfectly valid thing. No country has to accept everyone that wants in. They certainly don’t have to allow them to bypass normal, humane methods of immigration, asylum, or temporary residence.

    Deportation is saying that we aren’t going to treat you badly by doing things to you, but you can’t stay here.

    Unfortunately, deportation can be misused, and it is being misused in an ongoing fascist takeover. It is bypassing all the humane and lawful processes that are supposed to protect people. It isn’t being done correctly, or for the right reasons. It’s yet another violation of human rights in the name of bigotry.
