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.

It’s just brave talk. Trump has plenty of leverage and won’t hesitate to use it.

Exactly!

A tariff threat is going to fix this quickly. US does not need their goods to survive. They need US money to survive.

We need a military base in Guyana to protect Guyana from Venezuela. It would work as a staging area. Gotta build it first.

Does Colombia need seizing for the new Colombian canal?

Again, just end all foreign aid for Colombia AND block all goods from Colombia from entry into the US until such time as Colombia takes its own citizens back.

A parachute drop seems dignified if it is good enough for the Army.

Once the plane lands, take the handcuffs off. How do you safely move hundreds of unhappy and violent criminals?

So true and it makes the countries sending criminals here look even more ridiculous

They are always standing around with their hand out but never get their countries under control...they expect Uncle Sam to be a sucker for ever!!!

Columbia is free to come get them and save America the money of flying them out.

Yep. Trump doesn't care what the president of Columbia has to say about it anymore than he cared what the president of Mexico had to say a couple of days ago.

Everyone of those deportation flights arrived in Mexico despite their president's protests.

I’ve been to Colombia.

They don’t even give their own citizens *dignified treatment*.

IMO< not pushing them out the door without a parachute is as dignified as they deserve.
