[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)]6. If immigration detention is so bad, why don't people just self deport?[/color]

Conditions in immigrant prisons and jails across the world are so terrible in part because governments believe that poor conditions lead to self-deportation.  In other words, governments are purposefully creating immigration detention regimes that are inhumane in the hopes that these unlivable conditions will force people to return to their country of origin.  However, many people are willing to be confined in deplorable conditions indefinitely rather than be sent to suffer possible harm or death in their country of origin or be separated from their family members already living in the country indefinitely.  In most instances of “self-deportation,” when a person in detention signs away their right to fight their immigration case, the deportation is far from "voluntary." 


We disagreed on less then you think, and the topics we did disagree on we still do.  The change has really come from how far to the left many have gone while I haven't moved.  By my not moving we have gotten much closer to each other ideologically than I am to the current left.



Most definitely. 



Yes, I am aware of that and it's hyperbolic, unfounded and stupid.  



It's not the US normal, there are still far more people and politicans who are reasonable then there are AOC's and Steven King's.


As stated above I have friends who work for ICE and this has always been the case.  You are held in detention as you apply for entrance, whatever the reason.  If you choose to no longer seek entry you can, and will, be immediately released to repatriate.

Oh.  You have a friend...that's a good source.

Again, is this the policy of the US government running the camps in the US? 

Edit to add: That link is a good source of info on why these camps are bad and how poorly they work. Thanks.
