In the Name of Returning them, do We become Smugglers?

   How should we fashion our deportation programs? Put them on planes, and send them back to their home countries by going through the customs agencies of the countries they are returning to? I assume that is what we are doing.
   Or, should we just take them back to the border they crossed to get here, and dump them back where they came from, no permission asked for from their home countries? I believe we already are doing that, when they are freshly caught having just come across from Mexico. But, is it also okay to do that when they have wandered deeper into the U.S. and been here for months or years?
   While I give thought to the second idea, at the moment, at least, I think against it.. For one thing, it opens us up to being accused of being smugglers and human traffickers, ourselves.
