Deported to the Wrong Country...

What this points out is a huge hole in citizenship. Sounds like it is rather easy for people to never have citizenship in any country. If you aren't granted citizenship at birth, or due to your parents citizenship, then you don't really have a country at all, do you? We could end up with "hordes" wandering through europe again...

Sounds like we are going to need some sort of international agreement on how to assign the nationless types when disputes like this arrise. With nations pushing to remove birth as a citizenship criteria, this is going to get really complex.

Send them to those ex-Soviet republics with such a low birth rate that they are actually shrinking.

aren't those ex-Soviet republics shrinking due to large scale emigration of the young and certain ethnic groups?

this will in turn bring about a huge decline in birth rate though.

And everyone who is left is too depressed and hopeless to bother. Yes.

So send all the stateless criminals there. They'll love you for it.
