"Nearly 13,000 third-country nationals have been deported to Mexico under Trump, many with no connection to the country.... Banished from the U.S., undocumented in Mexico and unable to go home, deportees are stuck in ‘a quasi-stateless limbo.

...Alberto Rodríguez, 73, limped with a cane down a deserted industrial street. A stroke had left him perpetually foggy, unable to recall many details about his life beyond the fact that he had been born in Cuba and had spent nearly 50 years in the United States...."

Many are infirm, including Ricardo Pérez, 67, who said he was pushed across the U.S. border by immigration agents in a wheelchair, or 59-year-old Luis René Lemus, who suffers from Parkinson’s and schizophrenia and has struggled to procure needed medication in Mexico. ..."

@ai6yr man.

I knew for a long time our country is inhumane.

This just demonstrates how far from the ideals we have fallen.

We never achieved the ideals.

It is sad that our effort to try seems so diminished.

The illusion was a thin veil.
It is removed.
