Sanctions not going through Congress, it's insane that's considered constitutional
He governs by decrees basically, and so did biden. Its mental gymnastics at olympic level to call the US a democratic country.
I like how his statement paints not accepting refugees as a negative action
Trump wouldn't recognize hypocrisy if it walked up and kicked him in the balls.
Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.
Love it.
Lol. They caved.
The US caved actually, Petro point was that the deportees werent treated like garbage.
You missed the point where the people were cuffed the whole flight, were dehydrated and transported in military planes like cattle. That's why those planes were rejected.
The president send his own jet to get these people back because they are people not cattle.
Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!
He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.
I feel like all economies will soon be just trading with eachother, except with the US.
That is the only logical step. You can’t make deals with someone who throws you under the bus at the next opportunity 🤷🏻
They should start now. Countries should cut off trading with the US once Trump starts making threats in their direction, instead of waiting for him to make up his mind and do something. He's too used to there not being any consequences.
He literally is a petulant spoilt brat nappy wearing trust fund kid with unresolved daddy issues.
If they won't take them, maybe we could put all these Columbians in some sort of District. A District of Columbia filled with criminals. Wait, we already have that.
Getting married to a Colombian woman as an America. Is this going to hinder her from getting a marriage visa and coming to America with me?
With all the executive orders he's spewing forth, I wouldn't be surprised if you run into some roadblocks, if only out of confusion on the part of immigration officials. For both your sakes, I hope it isn't too disruptive. Mazel tov!
It's anyone's guess, but Trump's an idiot.
When did you submit the marriage visa? Also congrats! My wife is also Colombian and these last few days have been a fun time
Edit: I wish I could supply more information directly, but I am still trying to learn the visa processes. A local immigrant lawyer runs a daily Q&A stream if you want to hop in and see if you can get a slot to ask about your situation. Link: Jim Hacking immigration law. Dood is a good guy who doesn't bullshit and gets straight to the point. I hope everything goes well for you and your SO
The number of people here misspelling Colombia…
Yeesh, I started it in the post. Corrected.
It would be a good idea that Mexico, Columbia and other latin countries promote the Trump Wall, but expelling all US residents in their countries. A wall always works in both directions.
Even after all these years, I physically cringe every time I read "ReTruths"
Man, I’d love to meet the man, just so I could tell him to fuck off and die.
Viva Colombia
Cool, more tariffs to punish…us?
His base see it as him punishing Columbia and they'll later be surprised at how much some things cost and blame liberals for it.
Maybe the US should take back the US members of ISIS that have been left (along with the people from the other nations that joined ISIS) for the Kurds to keep.
"Criminals they forced into the United States" = "Invasion"
"Repatriation" != "Deportation"
Repatriation is what happens when you return a POW to their country of origin. Deportation is when you return a criminal to their country of origin.
POWs are not entitled to access to the criminal justice system. They can be held indefinitely without charges, or returned to their country of origin, without judicial oversight. Since deportation is a judicial process, POWs are not subject to deportation.
POWs are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of US law; Trump is arguing that the children of "invader-immigrants" can't be citizens.
To be clear, Colombia already backed down and accepted all the demands. Which is unfortunate but not surprising. Starting to get "Just give Hitler what he wants and he'll stop" vibes. Surprised folks didn't learn their lesson...
I was waiting for the backfire of “look what happened to coffee prices!”
Look, I know that immigration is a contentious issue, but sanctioning a country for not repatriating its citizens is a disproportionate response. Trump and Co. are really obsessed with immigration to even do this. It says a lot what values they have.
Are those people really Columbian citizens? I would not put it past Trump to just command ICE to land the next plane full of "somehow latin looking people" somewhere south of the border.
Well, there goes Colombian coffee and bananas!
I mean .. they can still come in, they are just 25% more expensive for Americans
Ho ho ho. Trump does not hold the cards here. Colombia DNGAF. But Trump does, and he's digging that hole as fast as he can.
