Is deporting migrants from the U.K are shooting up immigration to the U.S?

The Trump government's expulsion policies and pomposity have been argumentative since the beginning. The family separation scheme, the zero-tolerance policy, the language cataloging immigrants as "animals” all known to be striving to mitigate the number of illegal immigrants to the US, asylum seekers and singlehanded minors who have arrived in the United States.

In spite of this, the activity of deporting migrants, especially those convicted of crimes, has long been a major part of U.S. immigration policy. Between 1996 and 2015 the U.S. deported almost 5.4 million people to their countries of origin; 40 percent — nearly 2.4 million — had committed a felony criminal offense.

Though few would censure the practice of deporting criminals, a research done by leading immigration lawyers in UK finds that this component of border control policy lead to a malicious cycle.

Deportations mean sending back criminals to their native countries. In some scenarios, those deported criminals help develop and spread criminal networks used to traffic drugs, weapons, and people. This, in turn, increases the frequency of violent crime in those countries — which sends more people fleeing those countries and migrating to the United States.

Why are so many folks from Latin America trying to enter the United States? Although some want to be reunified with their families or hope to find better economic opportunities, the vast majority of unauthorized migrants and asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. border are escaping from widespread violence. Many flee Central America’s so-called Northern Triangle — Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala — which are among the most violent places on Earth, with homicide rates approaching that of the world’s most deadly war zones. A large number of unaccompanied Central American minors arriving at the U.S. border since 2014 are trying to escape either being killed or forced into a gang.

Across nations and over a period of time, violent crime has many reasons. Some of them include whether countries had a past of civil wars, their standards of inequality and the plus points of their political systems. After accounting for all the aspects that might elaborate different levels of violence in a country, we still find that violence — measured as the annual number of homicides per capita — increases majorly as a country receives more convicts deported from the United States.

Deporting convicts increased homicide rates in migrants’ countries of origin. Criminal offenders came back to violent areas with restricted opportunities, where governments are already facing issues enforcing criminal laws. It’s rarely surprising, then, that convicts get back to criminal and violent activities. There has been a considerable reduction in the number of people looking to move to U.S, as reported by a majority of immigration lawyers in UK.
