=================
I have a question.

Not sure if anybody has an answer, but the question is simple.

In the USA, if an undocumented worker (illegal alien) dies,
his/her body cannot be sent back to country of origin unless
it has been cremated.

Not having been a citizen or a legal resident, the deceased
cannot be buried in the USA.  As such, the body must be cremated.
Before it can be deported.

Somebody (presumably US taxpayers) have to pay for all this.

What does Mexico (or whatever country of origin the deceased
was from) do with the remains?

What if the deceased cannot be identified, and nobody claims
the body?  What then?  What if Mexico (or whatever country the
remains were sent to) denies entry, claiming the body is not,
or was not, a citizen of that country?

Kind of hard to identify a body that has been cremated.

When I go, my hope is for somebody to dump my uncremated
remains in the swamp and let the gators have a free meal.

No need for any burial expenses.  Not even a cardboard box.
Just dump me in the swamp.  You do realize gators do not chew
their food.  But they do swallow.  Oh do they swallow ...
