We are not the only ones who deport

By Silvio Canto, Jr. February 16, 2017

As an observer of the Mexican political scene, and someone who has done business across international borders, I know first hand about how other countries enforce immigration laws. In fact, I have always been impressed with how serious immigration laws are regarded across the globe. In other words, I always treated immigration laws as something to be respected not something that my company would avoid or treat lightly. Therefore, I found this article from Seth Barron rather good:
In virtually any other country, the deportation of aliens who have overstayed their visas or who are working in the underground economy might merit a brief mention in the newspaper. Deporting aliens who have committed serious crimes is understood in most nations to be a necessary duty of the state, like sanitation or the licensing of medical professionals.  
Nobody thinks twice about deporting criminals in these countries, and immigration enforcement is an uncontroversial aspect of national life. Canada -- often cited by progressives as a model of civilized multiculturalism — deports aliens at almost twice the rate that the U.S. does. Between 2006 and 2014, Canadian immigration authorities deported, on average, 35 people per day, or about 13,000 annually.  
The United States, with nine times the population of Canada, removed about 65,000 illegal aliens from within the borders of the country in 2016.
