<p>Head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Todd Lyons on Wednesday (April 9) said that he would like the agency to implement a system of trucks that would round up immigrants for deportation in a system similar to how Amazon truck delivers packages across US cities.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stressing that the US should start treating this like a business, Lyons said that he wants to see a deportation process "like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings."</p>
<p>&ldquo;We need to get better at treating this like a business,&rdquo; the Acting ICE Director said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>South Korea has been making efforts to achieve this goal for decades now as the nation has been dealing with it, due to its proximity to the isolated North where the disease is prevalent.&nbsp;</p>
