The article discusses the controversial US deportation strategy of sending illegal immigrants to African nations. Yasmany Moreno de Armas, a Cuban immigrant who lived in Florida for years, was deported to the Central African Republic without prior knowledge of his destination. He claims he committed no crime other than entering the US illegally. The US government, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, has the right to deport illegal migrants expediently and is not required to send them back to their home countries. While the US has agreements with more stable African nations like Liberia for deportations, it is now extending these to less stable countries. The Central African Republic is described as impoverished, conflict-ridden, and having a history of extreme violence and cannibalism. The author suggests this strategy, though appearing brutal, is ingenious as it aims to deter future illegal immigration. By sending deportees to unfamiliar and dangerous locations, the US hopes to encourage self-deportation. This approach, according to the author, is effective because appeals to sympathy are losing traction, and many Americans believe illegal immigrants should be removed quickly. The article concludes by calling the strategy "brilliant" for its potential to reduce illegal border crossings.
