“If they don’t take ’em back, we’ll put sanctions on the countries, we’ll put tariffs on the countries,” Trump said. He added: “They’ll take ’em back so fast your head would spin.”
He’s also threatened to cut off aid to the countries, which include China and Sierra Leone.
Separately, Trump also threatened to cut off aid to counties that produce illegal drugs, saying they’re “not our friends.” …

Does ANY country give us aid? Even if they did, government would steal it and raise our taxes.

Why indeed. Probably due to their clinging to that “developing country” status and other crooked Democratic/RINO deals.

Leverage. You’ve got to be able to identify it and be willing and able to use it.

During the campaign, Trump criticized 0bama and Clinton for not sending people back when the countries refused to take them. There are laws in place right now that allows the US to impose visa rejections on countries that don’t take them back. We should already be doing that right now, no need to wait for any more authorizations or laws.

The law already allows us to stop issuing visas to the nationals of those countries who refuse to take their criminals back.

That’s a very good point. Did any other country send money to us when we experienced a disaster? Why does the USA have to pay every time another nation has a disaster? And they still show no respect for the USA at all. Cut the aid.

Why the expense of a parachute?

Now why in the world wasn’t this the standard response? How is it justifiable to not have this as a standard response??
