  I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

  A person enters country X illegally, without permission. Hence country X
deports him back to his own country Y. Country Y forbids its own citizen
from entering its borders (which in my books is a clear violation of
international basic human rights). This is somehow the responsibility of
country X, and now *they* have to take him back and feed him?

  Exactly how does this make any sense? Why does country X have to pay for
this illegal emigrant, just because it chose that country X? Why does country
X become responsible for him so that they have to spend their tax money on
feeding him? If this illegal emigrant had chosen another country Z instead,
it would now by the responsibility of Z to feed him? How exactly does that
make any sense? What has X or Z made to deserve this burden? Shouldn't the
emigrant's own home country Y be responsible for the burden? It's *their*
citizen.

  What happens if instead of one emigrant it's one million emigrants, all
of who illegally enter country X? Is country X still responsible for their
well-being if their country of origin forbids them from coming back? Why
is country X suddenly responsible for one million non-citizens who entered
their borders illegally?

  Do you know what sounds more like? An invasion. Why should country X have
to accept that?

  I'm sorry, but if your politics consist of ideas like "the country who
the illegal immigrant succeeded in entering becomes responsible for feeding
him", then I honestly wouldn't want that kind of politics. Please never,
ever go into politics, thank you very much.
