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.

Best we can do: Peanuts, pretzels, 8oz. can of soda.

How much foreign aid are we giving Columbia? Be a darned shame it it all went away……..

Think it already has. I read Trump cut off all foreign aid except to Israel and Egypt.

[blueyon]

“dignified treatment” just means Trump won the argument and they can be sent back

[Tommy Revolts]

We got your dignified treatment right here...

[Gay State Conservative]

It depends on how he defines "dignified". A wetback who doesn't resist...who goes quietly...will be treated reasonably. But ICE agents will use force equal to the level of resistance any wetback displays while being sent home.

He should remember the US Border Agent who was just killed in Vermont the other day.We're gonna allow our border agents and ICE agents to defend themselves!

Oh Yeah? F and You

He blinked.

“We can do this the easy way, or the hard way “

[McGruff]

How about we equip them with those self deploying parachutes and kick them in the *s over Colombia?

[2001convSVT]

And President Trump will block all aid to your pathetic little sh!t hole country unless you accept your citizens back.

Check back in 48 hours and see what tune he’ll be singing. 😉

What does he mean by “dignified treatment”? Hosing them down?

“The United States provides security assistance to Colombia to promote Colombia’s long-term stability, strengthen its security capabilities, and boost regional security. This security assistance, which totaled over $90 million in FY 2023, includes funding from a variety of sources.”

I still firmly maintain we use our amphibious assault ships for this task.

Move more of them at a go, no need for an airfield, and guards are already included.

I saw an illegal in Walmart. He was here seeking “asylum” from the evil and racist gringos and was proudly wearing his tee-shirt from Colombia.

1) New York Sun asks for your email / contact to read this. So I didn't.

2) What is excerpted is delightful: " unless there is 'dignified treatment" for those migrants."

Let's put Hawaiian leis over their necks, and play band music when they leave the airplane, along with a "goodie bag" of Leftist reading material."

[SMARTY]

Show this a*&hat the dignified behavior these animals showed while in the US!

[Eternally Anti-Globalist]

If any Latin American government refuses to cooperate, drop their illegal aliens at the Mexican border and make them walk home.

[Eli Kopter]

Does he really want to get in a pissing match with Trump? Biden was not awake most days so he is used to that. Trump won’t sleep.

[Larry Lucido]

How about “We will lodge them at Gitmo and deduct $300.00 per day per person from any applicable foreign aid. They will be available for you to pick up and take home at your leisure.”
