So, we can write off Columbia then. We know how that works.

What’s the over/under on when Columbian refugees start streaming over our border?

They will get the poverty and dictatorship that they voted for.

My brother holds dual citizenship US/Colombia (his wife is Colombian) He has lived in Cali for 25+ yrs & speaks eight Spanish dialects perfectly.
Nice place - I've visited several occasions in the past.
It will be ruined. Colombia managed to absorb Venezuelans that fled. Now the paradigm shift to “no opportunity, going in the wrong direction” blah blah blah.
The communists will turn another prosperous country into a mud hole. They are taking the potatus playbook to heart.
God forgive them .......

Did the Venezuelans who fled to Colombia and became citizens vote leftist? One would think they had enough of communism but then again, people have an amazing ability to compartmentalize and not think things through. “I was starving in the old (communist) country, but Petro here says he will redistribute the wealth and make everyone equal - cool!”
