	You missed my point, what do you do with those people who
are *not* accepted for immigration, and who *refuse*, or are unable
to pay for their upkeep? There will be many of these, and there
are only three alternatives: 1) let them go free, 2) lock them up
(either in an asylum or in jail), or 3) kill them.  The first is
undesirable since it releases people *no other* country will take
back into your own society. The second costs money, where are you
going to get it? and it may be percieved as an attempt at coercion,
tho I see it mainly as a way of excluding violent people from society.
The third most definately constitutes coercion.  Thus some form of
coercion seems *inevitable*, and may in fact be *far* better than the
alternatives. Or can you see another alternative for the
incorrigable.
