"A commercial plane ticket anywhere" != the legal right to go anywhere

Pretty much you go back to your country of origin

Typically people take on the immense risk and challenge of leaving their country of origin to come here because their country of origin has really bad problems

Those problems likely still exist or have gotten worse over the last several years due to (if nothing else) COVID further separating the US economy from the rest of the world's

Is this not just? Is this not what every other country in the world would do? Is there a European country you can stay in illegally? Do any of them run remigration programs with cash and free flights to where you came from?

I didn't say it was unjust, nor did I say it was unique to the US, etc. etc.

I said that your logic tree elides the fact that they would be going back to a place that they already accepted an immense amount of risk and effort to leave.

In other words: for many people, the US + ICE risk (relatively low risk of catastrophic outcome) is still far better than their home country (high risk of pretty bad outcome)

Most passports grant at least a medium term admission to dozens of countries, and long term to a few.

>> Pretty much you go back to your country of origin I'm completely out of my depths there, can you explain how will they know my country of origin if I'm undocumented?

Well if they don't, they'll just pick a random as-awful-as-possible country to send you to.
