That's messed up. Deporting somebody who has been in the country since they were a kid to a place they might not know anything about seems pretty cruel, regardless of your criminal history. After 20 years, you should be dealt with like any other citizen (however shitty that might be in the US).
On the other hand, I could see temporary deportation (with means to get back after some weeks / months) as an interesting punishment -> maybe realizing that not breaking the laws and working a shit job in the US beats scavenging for water in Africa..
Anyways, I have no advice for you, no idea what I would do in your position but I wish you luck.. hope you can get into UK or somewhere and start fresh.
- abdinba 7y agothat's my plan thank you.
- curiousgal 7y ago> beats scavenging for water in Africa. Beats scavenging for water in Kenya. This is a petpeeve of mine and for some reason I expected to see less of it on HN, not all of Africa is a hell hole where people have to scavenge for water. I know I'm beating a dead horse with the "Africa is not a country" saying but it ircks me to see that subconsciously not many people are making that distinction.
- busymom0 7y agoOP themselves described where they currently are as "hell-hole" (OP's words).
- curiousgal 7y agoFollowing the same logic, OP is on planet Earth then planet Earth is a hell-hole.
- busymom0 7y agoAre you being dense on purpose? To quote OP directly: > I made some mistakes in America that got me deported to this hell-hole. OP couldn't be any more clearer by their current living situation and surroundings.
- curiousgal 7y agoYou seem to be the one being dense on purpose, your quote is precisely what I am talking about. He said that where he is is a hell-hole, that place being Kenya not the entire continent of Africa as the top comment says.
