Then I guess I don't understand why you thought it was relevant to bring up the fact that other countries do other sorts of things, since it wasn't meant as a defense of this decision.

>No, not at all. I'm stating that the deportation is not something done only by this country when paperwork is not processed or required steps are not followed to the 'T.' It happens in all western countries. It happens in almost all countries. That doesn't mean the I support it (far from it).

>>>Well there is the difference right there. First off, every country has rules and deportation processes for illegal immigrants. As much as I would love to relocate to Sweden and have the state pay for my living expenses and give me free medical care, what are the chances Sweden would let me? Also, they are not going to spend years in jail and face possible capital punishment, stoning, having their hand chopped off, or flogging in the streets. The only thing they are facing is the same thing they would face in any other country - deportation. Won't happen anyway. I think the story you referenced will be handled by the attorneys and it will in fact end by the couple staying since they were in fact awarded VISAs albeit as singles.

>>Just so I understand, are you actually saying that the immigration department's order to deport them makes sense?
