I find people willing to endure suffering rather than succumbing to powerful forces admirable.
What this leaves me wondering is, is it actually not that bad in detention or do the inmates unwilling to be sent "home" fear something greater? Separation from the life one knows to be abandoned to the unknown is not something many can bear well.
The economic models we rely on tell us humans will act rationally, so we must assume those staying over accepting deportation are making what they believe is the best decision available to them.
