"A commercial plane ticket anywhere" != the legal right to go anywhere

Pretty much you go back to your country of origin

Typically people take on the immense risk and challenge of leaving their country of origin to come here because their country of origin has really bad problems

Those problems likely still exist or have gotten worse over the last several years due to (if nothing else) COVID further separating the US economy from the rest of the world's

Most passports grant at least a medium term admission to dozens of countries, and long term to a few.

Is this not just? Is this not what every other country in the world would do? Is there a European country you can stay in illegally? Do any of them run remigration programs with cash and free flights to where you came from?
