In simple terms, deportation and exclusion have the same consequences. However, deportation is a removal process for the person who already lives in the United States. Exclusion is a process in which a person arriving in the United States cannot enter.

The legal procedures for both cases differ in some aspects. The reasons why a person may be excluded from entering the country may be health reasons, possession of illegal drugs such as marijuana or cocaine, or violation of any of the airport laws. The reasons for deportation can be breaking the law, overstaying the visa or participating in criminal activities, working illegally and going against the rules established by the immigration and naturalization services.

The exclusion that has been caused by illnesses and health reasons may be temporary. If you have been affected by some type of virus, you can be cordoned off at the airport facilities until you have been treated. However, the criminal exclusion may be permanent and you may never be allowed to enter the country again. Deportation can also be carried out in a similar way for a brief period of time, and at a later time, you may be allowed to enter the country based on the act.

However, if it has something to do with breaking the law or engaging in criminal activity, then deportation is a permanent remedy. That is why it is very important to keep an eye on your luggage and not leave it unattended at airports. Airport officials also take drugs and marijuana very seriously.
