DHS asks State Department to suspend visas for countries who won't accept US-deported citizens

The Trump administration is considering suspending the visas of some citizens in countries who have "refused to accept or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals," according to multiple reports Wednesday evening.

Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have refused to take back people in the U.S. who are in the country illegally and been cleared by immigration courts for removal, according to the Washington Times.

DHS requested in a letter to the State Department that it suspend visas to some citizens from the four countries, though it's not known who would be affected.

"When we receive such notification, the Department of State works to implement a visa suspension as expeditiously as possible in the manner the secretary determines most appropriate under the circumstances to achieve the desired goal," a State official told Fox News.

While a presidential candidate, Trump promised to take more action to get countries to take back people the U.S. sought to deport. Eight of the 20 countries that had fought the change are now working with the U.S. government to take back their citizens.

"The secretary [of State] is having conversations with those countries. We want to bring those countries into compliance. We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens," the State official said. "We are having different levels of conversations with those countries and imposing different things upon them based on what we think will work best with those countries."

I could see as part of the deportation proceedings, taking the time to add up the cost of any services provided, any court costs and final transportation for deportation. Then invoicing the source nation.

Another slap in the face to the Left. No wonder it has gone insane with hatred.

Of course, the court cases will follow and get slapped down.

It is a tiresome crowd which constantly complains even when good things are done. It is also sickening to see such divisive behavior.

“What did you get for Christmas?”
“A new Toyota”
“Wow, you must have liked that?”
“No, I’m pissed it wasn’t a Ferrari.”
