The US is sending illegals home, and has found some countries refuse to accept back their people who are in the US unlawfully. Our current response is to send them elsewhere, mostly some godawful place in Africa.
I read somewhere the British are hoping to start sending illegal immigrants and visa overstayers home. And they are considering a particular twist on that process.
The Brits are thinking, if country A won’t take its citizens back, to respond by refusing to issue visas to country A’s citizens who would like to travel legally to the YouKay for business or pleasure. Not clear if that rule would include country A’s diplomats, probably not.
The basic idea is this. If you won’t take back your citizens who are here illegally, that is a hostile act. We don’t want people from hostile countries here.
President Trump should consider refusing visas to citizens of nations refusing repatriation of its citizens who are here without our permission. We should also revoke visas of those nation’s citizens already here, making them eligible for arrest and involuntary deportation after a reasonable period, say two weeks. This should most definitely include student visas.
