Passengers revolt against a planned deportation aboard a plane bound for Paris
I realize immigration is an issue few American expats contend with beyond the hassle of tourist visas and work permits but for many black people, especially Africans, obtaining legal status in foreign nations is made more difficult because of anti-black attitudes. However, I do believe in the rule of law and nations have a right to determine who will be permitted to cross their borders.
I am very passionate regarding Immigration and the solution is not deportation because many of the people deported return because they have build ties in the new country like spouses, small children, ect. When one really looks at the situation, most who left their birth countries have left for a better life for their families and are adding substantially to the economics of the new country. I don't condone illegal immigration, but I think more should be done by the birth country to make life better for their own citizens and Western countries need to have fairer immigration laws irrespective of immigrants' countries of origin.
