Which of the following is forcing a non-citizen to leave a country?

Deportation refers to the expulsion of a person or group of people from a place or country. The term expulsion is often used as a synonym for deportation, though expulsion is more often used in the context of international law, while deportation is more used in national (municipal) law.

Forced displacement or forced migration of an individual or a group may be caused by deportation, for example ethnic cleansing, and other reasons. A person who has been deported or is under sentence of deportation is called a deportee.

This needs to be done on a grand scale in the US.

Everybody wants to deport everybody else. Has anyone ever considered that we were not invited here by the native peoples. Perhaps we should deport ourselves. That's a thought!!

Myrna Cooksey-Watson, Low wage jobs are historically filled by immigrants. Who’s going to collect your trash, harvest your peoduce, construct your buildings, move your furniture and so much more? What say you?

The amputation option could be an interesting option!

To "anti-immigrant" people, I know it might have been many generations ago that YOUR family was either fleeing for their lives or perhaps slowly starving, but probably almost all the Central Americans trying to get over the US border are trying to escape death, drugs and other types of destruction. If you or I were in daily situations where soldiers were ordered to shoot you or your family if you didn't comply; or your children forced to work in the drug trade to survive, I know you'd want to go to the now-becoming-mythical Land of the Free!
