[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not realistic because the country people are getting deported to has to agree to take them back.

Plenty of countries like  Cambodia, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Iraq, Laos, Pakistan and Russia and Venezuela won’t take back deported citizens and/or frequently pause accepting their deported citizens. There are over 100,000 people the US is waiting to deport but their countries won’t take them. [/quote]

We have bases and territories and islands all over the world - Guantanamo Bay, Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Aleutian Islands. It would be pretty simple to house illegal migrants and rejected asylum seekers there until their home countries take them back. Australia does something similar on the island of Nauru. It's a very effective deterrent to illegal migrants with no hope of being granted asylum.  [/quote]

This is the answer. The Aussies figured it out. They deport all illegal immigrants to camps outside the country. They also do migrant swaps with other countries in the cases where those people cannot be deported to their country of origin. Basically, they ensure that under no circumstances will someone who attempts to enter the country illegally will ever be a legal resident or get any benefits. That strongly discourages illegal immigration.[/quote]

You are incorrect. Australia only sends asylum seekers who arrive by BOAT to Nauru and the policy is that they will not be resettled in Australia if their asylum claims are approved. Australia seeks to return them or resettle them in other countries. No other illegal immigrants are sent to the camps. The vast majority of illegal immigrants are people who overstay student or other temporary visas.

At its peak, the camp in Nauru had 1,233 detainees. Australia also sent boat arrivals to a processing camp in PNG which has closed. At its peak, it had 1,350 people, some of whom were there for 10 years.

Australia’s policy specifically aimed to deter people arriving by boat. The numbers are tiny compared to the numbers here. This policy has cost over $500,000 per detainee. [/quote]
