Followed by US natural born citizens by year's end.
I don't have up to date knowledge about this American stuff and what is happening but I'd like my gov to deport and send somewhere far away certain criminals. Why not send all convicted rapists and pedophiles to some desert. I think it should be nationality agnostic thing
They can’t do that here, you have generally some rights before convicted
Yes and they used to have that in the U.S. as well, but surprise surprise! If you put an authoritarian in power, who delights in being cruel and punishing people, you tend to lose some of those precious rights.
Then maybe you shouldn’t vote on such candidate. It’s hard to protect every single law from being twisted when you elect some kind of
Well, I didn't vote for anyone in the U.S. since I don't live there.
But my point is, non-authoritarians wouldn't even suggest sending their own citizens to foreign prisons/camps. It's cruel and unnecessary and it doesn't solve the root of any issues. It's just offloading your problems onto someone else.

Why should we only send away immigrant offenders when we can send all offenders somewhere?
This way we can avoid racism accusations
