Colombia will take them back or they will pay the price and still take them back.

I’m not even mad at Trump only thing I agree with him on is immigration I stay in LA and I’ve been homeless for like three weeks I went to the LA mission they do not take single individuals they only take families that are illegal immigrants how is that fair Most of the people are from Venezuela and I know they need help but what about me a US citizen One of the ladies who work there Also was Telling me they are helping them with housing low income housing I’m like man

Trump and the MAGA morons should look up the meaning of trade in a dictionary. There is a give and take, there’s buying and selling, that meets the needs of both parties. Trade tariffs is not how anyone with common sense wants to deal with any and every minute dispute like a senseless toddler. Both sides get hurt. Even the tariffs on Russia hurt other countries that imposed them too and that was a calculated move because the war calls for extreme measures.\nWhat the Trump sycophants that probably can’t read need to know is that Colombia accepted hundreds of these flights in the last few years. The only reason they pushed back now is on human indignity. This is the first they received a flight with their civilians cuffed up like animals. The Colombian president said that is not how you treat humans, at least not my people, send them back in a civilised way where they are not dehumanised and we’ll take them. He even sent his own planes later and took them back.\nA sane leader would order his team to review the process and advise them of appropriate measures going forward. An insane, thin skinned snowflake throws tantrums in their diapers and these Trump tariffs are precisely that. Sure, this will reduce the cost of living for the idiots that voted for him ??‍♂️

President petro said that the inmigrants , they are not terrorist and colombia dónt. Believe that they go Back to colombia With chains and handcuff, he ofer his president air plane to Take the People back from usa to colombia.

No, you didn't understand the Colombian president's post. He was only against the use of military plane and lack of process, he never said he will not accept deported Colombian immigrants. There needs to be a coordination because they also need to make sure on their end that it's only their citizens that are being dumped in their country and that they're being treated humanely. Also, Colombia just hit U.S. with 50% tariff. Also dont forget there is arround 15.000 North American citizens living illegally in Colombia... So... WTF? U.S shoukd take it easy on his rear flank

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

The Columbian president made himself look stupid...I hope Trump doesn't take the tariff off to show other countries what's going to happen to them too..if they mess around and find out ??

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Why are they not wanting their people? \nAnd just because you to soil here does not make you an American. MY ancestors had to take test and learn English abd obey laws. Why is this even an argument?

Trump was asked what he'd do if countries refused to take their illegals back. His response was straight forward......they will take them because I'll shove them down their throats. Trump's not messing around. Those illegals being sent out are violent and have a long criminal record.

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

Why do they keep trying to make trump out to be a bad guy and they keep lying about bidens statistics on deporting...they really are trying to make a narrative that anything bad is on trump...like they keep bringing up why haven't prices gone down and he's been in office all of a week ? it's gonna at least take a couple months to fix what was done. This false reporting is why people are mislead. This is sad

Don’t treat our citizens as criminals though they entered your country illegally and therefore ARE criminals. I guess take em to Rwanda.

I disagree, he cannot allow these countries to take advantage of America. Columbia, Venezuela, quite a few of those countries open. No jails dumped the criminals in an American people. Now the refusing to take him back, but guess what? They will take him back. It's nothing wrong with Trump and acting. These terrorists, so you, you folks are wrong. As for the America and American people, so are you people? This bias is just plain wrong. You need to take an overall look at the situation. And where are the economics of America? The economy and everything is at in America. We can't keep supporting all these people. We don't have the money.

Could you imagine being from one of these crappy South American countries that say “No, we refuse to take our citizens back!” This cements in the point that they are not sending their best and brightest.

We don't need ppl this dumb. The border is closed and they know that yet here they are being dumb. We might take a few rocket scientists but we long ago reached out quota on dumb ppl.

He’s not asking Columbia to take Americans but to take their own citizens back. We can get tropical fruit from FL, PR, HI and the USVI. We’re not playing with Columbia so they better stop playing with us.

Any Latin country that refused to take back they citizen should be put on a no flight list and all travel visa to those countries should be denied and a 45%tariffs as well.

Trump is so impossibly stupid\n\nDJT: Hey Columbia, take these people back!\nColumbia: No\nDJT: Take them back or I will impose tariffs on you!\nColumbia: You mean tariffs that will not affect us one bit, but make the price of our goods more expensive, thus hurting your own people?\nDJT: Yes! Do what I want, or I will hurt my own people and blame YOU!\nColumbia: And they're stupid enough to believe that?\nDJT: They voted for me, didn't they?\nColumbia: Fair point. Still...........no.

If they take great care of their citizens then the citizens wouldn’t be forced to leave the land and travel thousands of miles to illegal enter US. Now they have the audacity to accuse US of mistreating criminal illegal immigrants and refuse their own citizens in the name of caring and humanity. The hypocrisy is unbearable

Less than an hour after trump announced it guess what THEY REVERSED IT AND SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THEM . ?

They need to stop this now We have our own problems here kids veterans and homeless We do not take care of our own , I am a widow i can't even eat and these people get everything

Columbia won’t mess with us where everything to them if it wasn’t for us they’d still be running around in grass skirts just like China was before we came in and helped them look. We’re a superpower. These people shut up and do what we say or else we’ll take everything they have away from them just like we did the Indians.. make no mistake this president is not playing games. He’s come back with 50 Cent attitude and he’s gonna be petty? everybody that tried to take him out is gonna get it?? go Trump

They better let them planes land because Trump not playing. Take your people back! I will go out and stock up on coffee today??

If they came into the US through Mexico, then Mexico can take them and they can deal with it.

And, them b's fell in line. Didn't they?! ???? Take back your criminals.

They wouldnt take them back should not have been a choice, the plane should have been escorted by apaches, Comanches, and f16's. Fuckem

So they empty their worst in America and won't take their own people back ? OK, sure, it's not a planned invasion ??? Sure seams like it .

CNN spreading their fearmongering again. Oh no avacados and now bananas and coffee gonna be more expensive. We get those items from other compliant countries also.\n\nWe need to get these people out, they were never supposed to be here to begin with. These are not US citezens nor are they legal residents, it is the resposibility of their home countries to take them back. If the don't comply with our immigration laws then all should be denied access and a travel ban to and from their countries should be enstated.

There will only be tarrifs if they don't take back their criminal migrants!! Get a grip before your kids are raped and killed?

Latin american countries are having a summit? Oh wow! So they were doing absolutely nothing about this before and letting the us take the brunt of the issues........

I didnt ask MAGA this question going to the 2024 election because I know they have a FINAL Solution in mind. But I asked reasonable and smart people, Uh - how is he going to deport 15 million Immigrants? Where are they going to go? He is already going to a Nazi-like Interment Camps. Dont be surprised it he and Elon take the next step.

So Columbia is about to tank their economy cause they don't want their criminals back and Ican just buy a different coffee brand and not notice? \n\nThese terms are acceptable to me. In a month they'll be asking to take nationals from other countries just to get them lifted.

Open the wall and push them through. Because that's where they came from in the first place. Why take them all way to Guatemala when they went through the wall?

So your saying he was right they emptied there worst to us and won't take them back see yall sound so dumb

Mexica will take them because they are part of the problem .how a country like mexica will let 10millions and more people cross your country to go to the next one?\nHow 10millions can be isylum seekers?

they want freebies ..... take care of our veterans and citizens impacted by hurricanes and fires .

If they are illegal immigrants, and didn't apply for citizenship, what's the problem with sending them back to their countries? And their countries have to take them back. Why should they be allowed to stay in the U.S. if they came in illegally? I don't understand why people have a problem with this.

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

The criminals because I cannot understand how you can come in somebody house on the man that I have to stay there you do not know them they don't have passports you do not know who they are but they want they don't have a dollar in their pocket you have to give them food taxpayers you have to give them housing how the Man full Venezuela have oil to fight the prime minister of Venezuela and take over somebody rule the country fix all your own country first

If you get deported as an illegal immigrant, you should be able to take your children with you. What about us who came here legally and we paid to get our citizenship and went through so much processing to get here legally while others can just cross the borders illegally and get citizenship somehow. They were not screened if they have criminal records and they didn't go through a health inspection like we did. The law is law and it should always be implemented, no exceptions. I have met someone who was not a U.S. citizen but she gave birth on an airplane above the U.S. territory and her son became an automatic U.S. Citizen. I thought that was weird. The children should maintain the same citizenship as their parents so they will not be separated. Birthright citizenship has divided and dislocated families. This law meant that the U.S. government will take the baby away from the parents because they have no citizenship and put their children in the Foster Care Home Systems? That doesn't even make sense to separate a family, this law is a home wrecker. It needs to be abolished ASAP.

So how many countries do they pass through to get to the United States and we're the ones that are supposed to take them in? The answer is 6 countries.

Taxi drivers from Singapore people from india are very rude and arrogant. I reckon they need to act that way, so people wont take advantage of them.i reckon.

Why is it a problem entering the U.S. legally? \nDoesn’t anyone respect the U.S. law? Every country has laws.\nThe U.S. citizens don’t take things for granted. That’s why the U.S. is trying to enforce the U.S. law and stop the forced entry. The invasion is taking the U.S. for granted. If they don’t respect the law what makes you think forced entry is going to abide by the law.

Sad. But not our problem or responsibility to take care of them. There’s so many other countries out there. They won’t let them all in. It sucks to have to be tough sometimes, but it is necessary at this point. Our own people are suffering and if the media showed more of that and less of this type of stuff, it might be better.

This is awful! Bidens crew sure made them feel like they could come here and get in legally! They had no intention of the wall! Wake up, Americans ? We have to obey our laws,why not them??? They're not special or better than any American, so help me here. They are more than welcome to come here legally and go through the system. Now take the illegal aliens that have already broken American law and what would happen if Americans broke ANY LAW.....?

They sure take a lot for granted! Time to toughen up in this country and for starters get rid of this federal government before this country is unable to come back from the 3rd world state it has become.

Deport Punjabis the more the better!!! They take all the jobs. Not only that deport Eritreans and other non-educated black people who do not assimilate to Canadian culture. Even Muslims too who were not vetted properly. Some are terrorists and were granted Canadian citizen. That is what a 25 percent tax mean on February 1, 2025. There worst nightmare will come true. Just like the man from Haiti who was deported immediately. He said thank you to Biden and Obama. Forget it they don't care. They just want the votes and the money! Canada will do the same!

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

Many companies are laying off workers for economic reasons while prioritizing international students and temporary workers over Canadians because they can pay them lower wages. Now, in this time, qualifications, experience, and performance stopped mattering. \nHow does the government expect Canadians to pay their bills, household expenses, and other costs in such a chaotic job market? How can Canadians compete with temporary students living in overcrowded rented houses, where multiple bunk beds are crammed into each room, and landlords charge $500 to $700 per bed? \nWhat measures will the government take to address this growing crisis?
