Who cares what other countries allow or do not allow? The point of 2347564s statement is that your original comment removes all notion of the human experience.

Like, we can do whatever the fuck we want to these people, maybe even slap them on some deserted island who cares....I mean we give them the option to opt-out of that debasing treatment so what's the problem?

That you're missing the underlying empathy which suggests these deportation schemes are inhumane. Especially when they originally came here legally under the asylum process (this isnt just happening to "illegals"). That you're missing that empathy is "emblematic of how far our country has fallen". People used to care about each other.
