Colombia’s leader, President Petro, says his country will not be party to President Trump’s mass deportation plan — which includes flying migrants to their home countries from America — unless there is “dignified treatment” for those migrants. Mr. Petro is just the latest left-wing Latin American head of state to push back against Mr. Trump’s signature immigration policy.

In a statement posted to X on Sunday, Mr

I thought the same thing. Just parachute them in. Hahaha

[poinq]

Just talk. By the standards of the Colombian government almost any treatment will be dignified.

Here’s an idea,
supply each of the returnees with a copy if the constitution, in spansh and english, to read on the way and educate and change their backwater governments so their failed country can eventually prosper with Liberty and Justice for All. No Marco trafficking or despotism needed.

Don’t just end all foreign aid to any country not accepting their citizens back, freeze and confiscate all remittances the invaders here try to send back to those countries.

Also, not one of these countries seemed to care about the treatment their US invaders received from the cartels on the way up here. Were they served first class meals and champagne on the roofs of those trains traveling south to north? Did any of these countries care when their women and children were being raped as part of the cost of “emigrating” here?

oops-narco not marco... these keyboards getting smaller every day :|

Columbia’s largest aid from the US is probably cocaine sales in California.

Closing the border is gonna cut into that.

THIS^^^

And regarding the narco trafficking...
How much fentanyl has been smuggled into our country by these same criminal invaders? Turn it all into powder and air drop it on the capital city of every country who sent it here.

[CaptainPhilFan]

How ‘bout parachutes?

[libertylover]

Ohhhhh, I like that idea!

[marron]

Mexico is closing its southern border and their troops have already broken up the latest caravan. They’ve closed numerous shelters for migrants and issued three week notices to vacate the country.

[cpdiii]

OK, just put them on LATAM Brazil the national airline of Brazil. I am sure the Captain of the flight would say, "hell no, put them in handcuffs and restraints or they do not fly on my aircraft!"

[ncalburt]

Ban western union and all other groups from doing business in this crap hole . That will shut up these leftists .

[Hattie]

Dignified by $$$$ no doubt.

[telescope115]

I totally agree with you.

[BlueLancer]

Send the transport planes in with heavy combat air cover, and use “gentle persuasion” ...

[Socon-Econ]

Refusal to take back illegals should be considered an act of war.

[Newbomb Turk]

The Army flew me all over the world on a C130 so if its good enough for the finest fighting force in the world, its good enough for illegal border crossing criminals.

[GOPJ]

President Petro can send some of his private jets and take his citizens back in first class splendor... it would show some responsibility... Maybe President Trump should charge these two bit 'leaders' for the costs involved in returning their illegals if they keep up the whining.

The price of Colombian coffee just skyrocketed. The tariffs can fund the jet fuel.

Italian coffee is better, anyway.
