  Deportion is not abuse, why on Earth would it be?

  I think we have fundementally different ideas of what abuse and deportation are

    Deportion is not abuse

    The recipients of DACA are young people who have grown up as Americans, identify themselves as Americans, and many speak only English and have no memory of or connection with the country where they were born.

    You would send someone to a country they have no memory of, no connection to, and cannot speak the language and not call it abuse? They’re not being sent home. They’re effectively being sent to a foreign country.

      Exactly. That’s why it’s abusive. It’d be like sending a random conservative to Hungary. Though CPAC attendees may love Hungary, I doubt they’d like to be sent there forcefully when they identify as an American through and through.

        It’s not an apt comparison.

        It is not sending a random person to a random country.

        It is sending a citizen of that country back to their country.

        One can agree or disagree with doing it, but it isn’t a random person being sent to a random country.

        If we want to get particular, it is the right thing to do under international law.

        The abusive thing was to not deport them sooner.
