When did deportation become a dirty word? > an operation in 2017 in which immigrants crossing the border were arrested for deportation Because it is illegal to enter the United States except for at controlled points of entry.

If you don't think it should be illegal to enter the United States at any location, call your Representative and get the law changed.
