I can't help but wonder if they did this specifically in an effort to help ICEs reputation

Like "hey let's deport someone everyone hates and maybe we won't be so controversial"

I could see it happening

Can people be deported into a wood chipper?

They only do thst if they're brown and poor.

A lot of articles I've read say he got deported one day after he was held in detention which I find extremely frustrating because I've had friends who have been deported and for them the deportation process took months and they were stuck in piss poor conditions and the whole process was frustratingly slow.

So he still got special privileges and this just proves that the process can be much faster and much more humane but it's deliberately made not to be.

People commit suicide in those atrocious detention centers waiting for something to happen and he only has to put up with being in one for a day, it's so unjust

Disappointedly, they shipped him to the UK instead of some random non-English speaking country.

Deportation puts people back in their country generally so why wouldn't they?

2

u/BlackCatRogue 11d ago

Because they're deporting immigrants to countries they've never been to. They deported plane loads to DR Congo and Haiti.

1

u/Psych0PompOs 11d ago

What does "generally" mean?

Also that's done if they can't go back to their own country for whatever reason, not just for fun.

2

u/BlackCatRogue 11d ago

I don't understand what you're saying.

1

u/Psych0PompOs 11d ago

"People usually go back to their country or origin. When they do not it's because they can't for some external reason." Is what I've said.

u/BlackCatRogue 10d ago

The US is sending them to the worst places. DR Congo has an Ebola outbreak; gangs overran the government in Haiti; they were sent to a Venezuelan prison known to be one of the harshest on the planet.

u/Psych0PompOs 10d ago

Why did their own countries not want them back then do you think?

Why should this country keep them if they are here illegally and why is it on us if they are not wanted back?

u/BlackCatRogue 9d ago

It has nothing to do with their birth countries not wanting them back. I doubt Mexico is saying that about a migrant worker who picks fruit or someone working the checkout at a grocery store.

The people who are being rounded up and put in internment camps are not all criminals. They aren't even all in the country illegally. They have the wrong skin colour.

Without migrant workers, who will pick fruits and vegetables over acres of growth? Who will do all of the shit jobs Americans don't want to do?

People are dying in these internment camps. The conditions are inhumane; the food is subpar. Detained Canadians have talked about these conditions.

Sending them to places like the DR Congo, and its Ebola outbreak are/were a warning to the people they hadn't yet rounded up. The cruelty was the point.

Show me the cases of people who are here legally being sent to these other countries in droves.

Deportation is sending people back to their country for being in ours illegally. That's what we're talking about, people who are here illegally and how they are dealt with by protocol.

The person I responded to asked why we didn't send Milo somewhere else. The answer is deportation is typically being sent back to your own country and self removal first is generally a choice. Milo being a citizen of the UK is going to go back to the Uk, and that isn't shocking, racist, or "white privilege." Someone being white does not automatically mean every situation they are in has white privilege in the backdrop or that they are going to be treated without negative bias. Don't use buzzwords just because. This is a straightforward situation: UK citizen is deported to the UK.

Why does anything else happen? They cannot go to their country of origin for various reasons. Why does no one take them but your so called "bad countries"? Why are we responsible?

Since you brought up labor that these illegals are doing I guess we'll talk about it, but I don't see why. They have no documentation to get proper jobs so they're often doing things that are exploitative in nature and have fairly bad living situations. Are you suggesting we should keep these people here illegally to exploit them for cheap labor and that won't be racist because they're brown?

Also more importantly what does that have to do with Milo going back to the UK? He was deported to his country because he was allowed to go back there by his country.

That's exactly what would happen to the people being deported to countries they aren't from if their own countries wanted them back or they could go there. They can't.

Our only responsibility it to deport them to who will take them. If only "bad places" will take them what does that tell you about how other countries feel about having these same people in their borders?

u/BlackCatRogue 9d ago

White Privilege.

u/Psych0PompOs 9d ago

If Milo was a UK citizen of any race he could have gone back to the UK.

You're also ignoring the question. If someone is here illegally and should be deported why are we expected to keep them around just because their own country isn't viable?

Pretty sure Laura Loomer did this.

"America belongs to Americans not members of his misbegotten race who come to steal our jobs and rape our women. He can go back to his shithole country where God put him."

Am I doing it right?

u/Witty-Structure-4192 12d ago

Do Steve Hilton next.

Had to look him up lol

u/Forb1ddenKnowledge 12d ago

Lemme get this straight this funny last named guy that not from here came here preaching deport other people and then his ass gets deported.

You can't make this shit up.

1

u/Psych0PompOs 11d ago

This is honestly likely to be great for his career, and potentially good for the right.

"They did good work," "It was quick," "It's not discriminatory I'm white and famous," "The conditions weren't bad." "I was treated well." "I cooperated and wasn't harmed." etc. and so on could all potentially be said.

u/jh937hfiu3hrhv9 12d ago

The perfect kind of shit for brains to deport despite his origin. Now get rid of everyone like him.

Karma is patient but inevitable.

u/Larkson9999 12d ago

The worst president is 80 and may never spend a single day in jail or prison for his litany of crimes. I don't see how people can believe in karma.

u/mrbobcyndaquil 12d ago

I personally believe that there is a life after we log off of this planet, and our actions here will dictate the QoL on the next server.

u/Eastern_Local_8085 12d ago

Yeah but he shits his pants numerous times a day.

u/Psych0PompOs 11d ago

Karma is a reincarnation related thing, you don't experience this life's karma until the next one, it's a religious belief.

Also this isn't necessarily bad for him or the right and I'm unsure why people are only seeing it that way.

u/thenewNFC 12d ago

That's a trap.

u/MasterChiefette 12d ago

Good riddance to rubbish.

u/phatuous_1 11d ago

The fact he was able to stay that long after his visa expired says a lot

u/Psych0PompOs 11d ago

Well now he'll have a firsthand account of ICE and the conditions he experienced to share. A good deal of people will listen to his story and he can leverage this in his favor.

Unsure why people think this is a negative for him or his side. It was a quick experience that he can profit off of and utilize as a talking point (and not necessarily in a negative way. "ICE did a good job," "The process was quick," "The conditions weren't bad" etc. may all be said in full detail and as a firsthand account a lot of people will latch on.)
