The upcoming Trump administration is compiling a list of countries to deport migrants to in cases where their home countries refuse to take them back, as reported by three sources familiar with the plans.
The countries on the list have included but may not be limited to Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama and Grenada, the sources said.
Since the report comes from NBC News, they go out of their way to imply that the tactic would be unusually cruel:
This approach could result in the permanent displacement of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of migrants in countries where they are unfamiliar with the people, language, and culture.
It is important to note that many migrants had already made a similar leap by arriving in the United States without knowledge of the people, language, or culture when they crossed the border unlawfully. This aspect is omitted in NBC’s coverage.
