I think I need to call ICE and turn myself in. I’m from somewhere like Barbados, New Zealand, Uruguay or Italy…I’ve been living in the US for sooooo long that my English is practically perfect. Please deport me. My home country misses my economic contributions.

    Part of the dystopian horror is learning they don’t care where you came from, and often will deposit you right into the hands of human traffickers.

    And they’ll lock foreign-looking American citizens in a room with no contact and no lawyer and say You have forty-eight hours to prove your citizenship. Good luck. Followed by deportation as above. So no, your birth certificate in a hospital in San Diego will not help you.

    And between those places are the detention centers that are packed at over double maximum safe occupancy, which get super dirty and super infected, and the ICE troopers / PSCs would beat the crap out of people for fun.

    Some of the scary bits of the German Reich concentration camp program are already happening here in the US.

      Uruguay it is then! Please threaten to send me to a country that has 98% renewable energy and a haven for all things open source. I just might be able to survive with my limited knowledge of Esperanto!

    Yeah, I was kind of wondering if there was a list of countries from which I could choose to be deported to. I mean my parents were American and I was born in America but that doesn’t matter anymore, right. It would be great to be deported to someplace nice. I quite liked New Zealand when I visited. Do they take requests?

    I see well without any documentation we’ll have to run a DNA analysis to try and determination your nation of birth.

    Results are back. 23 and Me reports Yemen with 82% confidence. Wheels up in 10.
