The American immigration police, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), have been under fire for several weeks. Trump fared little better during his first term: "only" 1.5 million undocumented immigrants, roughly the same number as Biden, were returned. The Mediterranean Sea contains dozens of islands suitable for temporarily housing deported undocumented immigrants pending their repatriation. Regularising undocumented immigrants, tolerating undocumented immigrants, and allowing all sorts of exceptions to deportation (illness, children, marriage, etc.) An efficient policy on undocumented immigrants can never be gentle or compassionate, because that would open the floodgates wide to even more undocumented immigrants.
