This article focuses on repatriation agreements, which streamline immigrant removals after a person has been ordered from a country. Without these agreements, officials deporting an immigrant must secure approval through individual negotiations with consular officers of the receiving state-a process that can take weeks or months. In North America today, Canada, the United States, and Mexico all use repatriation agreements to expedite the deportation of immigrants.
