The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Alex]

The other country has to agree take you (this has been a problem with getting rid of several Guantanamo detainees; we wanted to release them but had nowhere to send them and it was politically unacceptable to release them into the United States) so if you can't prove to the French that you're French I'm guessing they won't. So the end result if you're here illegally, I think, is just ending up in permanent lock-up.

There are several countries that also have standing policies of not accepting deportees even if it is true that they're the nation of origin (Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, and a few others).
