    From what the article says, it seems like that should read, “Being in the country illegally has Detroit woman facing deportation”.

        There shouldn’t be a path to legality - that just incentivizes more illegal immigration, because they know they’ll get residency eventually.

        To be clear, I think what’s going on in El Salvador is abhorrent, and that at this point ICE is basically the Gestapo, but that doesn’t mean that countries shouldn’t have the right to decide who is and who isn’t allowed across their borders.

        If I illegally crossed the border into Canada because I don’t like what Trump is doing, for example, they have every right to kick me out.
