Of course, many migrant children come for economic reasons, and not because they fear for their lives. In those cases, they shou
ld quickly be deported if they have at least one parent in their country of origin. By deporting them directly from the refugee centers, the United States would discourage future non-refugees by showing that immigrants cannot be caught and released, and then avoid deportation by ignoring court orders to attend immigration hearings. —"The Children of the Drug Wars,"
Sonia Nazario

Explanation:
In the article, Sonia Nazario shows the insensitivity in the process of deportation. The article aimed at conveying the authors concern. Nazario thought it to be a refugee crisis even though the government treated it as immigration crisis. Kids were not coming to the United States for the normal reasons instead they were running from drug wars and violence. Deporting them was only going to take them back to that reality.
Therefore, by repeating the word deport, nazario intends to emphasize the potential risks many immigrants face.
