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?

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

What an evil abomination of a human being you are.

So in these very specific cases, they must stay.

Otherwise, they should be deported, right?

Not unreasonable.

This is why we deport

[quote]The body of a 41-year old man who was deported to Iraq and died was returned to the U.S. on Friday, according to his family and a local congressman.

Jimmy Aldaoud had lived nearly all of his life in the Detroit area, where he will be buried next week alongside his mother. He died on Aug. 6 from health problems in Baghdad, where he was sent in June, but where he ...[text shortened]... local language of the area they are being deported to, and will certainly die shortly after arrival?
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.

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