Is it the immigrants fault that the US had an open border policy? These immigrant’s transit was funded by NGOs they were ignorant to the process? You seem happy to skip on recompense from them (the NGOs)? Why should tax payers flip the bill at this point. Close the border and move on.

If the US hadn't had that policy they wouldn't even be here. So returning them is just getting back to the status quo. The _lack_ of consequence is one reason why this is acceptable: in most of these removal cases the US is _not_ punishing the person being removed in any meaningful way. They're just being returned to where they came from.
