Which was a death sentence in this case.
So, what do you propose should have been done?

An exception for him should have been arranged?

Jimmy Aldaoud had lived nearly all of his life in the Detroit area, where he will be buried next week alongside his mother.

Even in Trump’s America how can this happen?

That poor man; it’s impossible to know what agony he went through, the loneliness, the sense of abandonment, the fear and desperation.

Gee, what do you think? Maybe stop deporting people in all such cases?

What an evil abomination of a human being you are.

Breaking and entering and stealing power tools sounds like an offense worthy of deportation.
How? How the fuk does breaking and entering, on its own, deserve deportation to a country the person has never lived in and whose language he doesn’t speak? How?

It’s called having some compassion.
It’s called exercising common sense.
It’s called having a due process with proper checks and balances before you dump a person into a third-world, war-torn country with no hope of survival.

You are a heartless pig.

So in these very specific cases, they must stay.

Otherwise, they should be deported, right?

Not unreasonable.

Here’s something really deplorable which I’m posting as smokescreen countermeasures in a lame attempt to back away from being a complete heartless tool.

My thoughts are well known here.
Or they should be.

Folk should live wherever they want to.
Borders are constructed for the wealthy and powerful to keep people under control.

They were deported because of their previous criminal records.

I could see how it would be desirable to come up with a clause that non-violent misdemeanors would not merit deportation, but, otherwise, it is what is right. Why wouldn't it be?

It also sounds like his crimes were relatively serious:

[quote]Aldaoud faced serious health problems, Bajoka said. In add ...[text shortened]... mental health facility for another 30+ years.

But we did have grounds to deport him, so we did.
So what do you do with native born sufferers of ‘Paranoid Schizophrenia’ send them off to some random country, or do you organise some control measures to ensure that they take their meds. Nobody is arguing that a criminal should be allowed to roam the streets but this guy had been in your country so long that he was to all intents and purposes an American, certainly that’s how the Iraqi extremists would have categorised him if he had lived long enough to get collared by them.

What if everyone started putting jars of mayonnaise up their behinds (they would fit)?

So you also believe in a world without borders? (Or do you just 'really' like mayonnaise? )
