This is an interesting development. Colombia said they wouldn’t take back their own citizens so Trump is enacting tariffs and other measures.

Personally, I think this is a great move. It is the responsibility of the host nation to repatriate their citizens. I do not understand why Colombia won’t welcome their own people back.

They don’t have any issues taking their migrants back. They are demanding they are returned on civilian flights like humans.

To me, that’s a fair ask.

Why don't they (Colombia) pay for these flights then? THAT would be fair

The civilian deportations under Biden cost $9,000 per flight. The Trump military flights are costing $900,000.

Colombia accepted 475 repatriation flights from the US. 120 last year. No tariff war was necessary

So, Biden was able to deport people without issue. Interesting…🤔

Lost what exactly? This is exactly what we voted for and I love this.

Your dignity and humanity.

For what? They are criminals! They need to go back and their countries need to repatriate them. What don’t you understand? You want these illegal criminals here? Where is your humanity to their victims?????

Would you make Laken Riley have her rapist’s baby? Yes or no?

Let’s ask her which is worse, oh wait, we can’t.

Would you or wouldn’t you make her give birth to the monster’s baby?

DP, but no, she was in GA which would have allowed her to have an abortion up to 22 weeks.

Then why did you vote for abortion restrictions?

I don’t remember seeing it on the federal ballot?

SCOTUS overturned roe with Trump's picks genius.

Lady, you are absolutely unhinged. We get it — you respect the rights of criminal illegal aliens more than the rights of US citizens. You think the right to kill your unborn child is more important than the right to not be killed by an illegal alien. You have more interest in talking about the hypothetical rape pregnancy of a young lady who was raped and killed by an illegal alien, than the fact that the president of Colombia would rather hurt his country’s economy than take back his own citizens who were in the US illegally.

You have very bizarre priorities, and it is a mercy to us all that your party is not in power. -NP

AMEN
This sums up the radical female dems to a T. I voted for Trump but am pro choice. There was no way I was going to vote for Kamala on the basis of abortion rights. There are other important issues too. Give it up, Pussy Hat People.

It’s ok, you’ll put women in their place soon, yeah?

Exactly! This was running smoothly until trump decided to mess it up. Now we all get to pay higher prices because of his performative bullshit. And we further push South America toward china. Next time you hear about china building bases in South America, this is why.

Again, the military budget is already spoken for.

An airman is being paid no matter what they do. The airplanes are flying regardless due to training.

I get that you’re trying to make a point, but this is like a pre-paid cell phone plan. It doesn’t matter who you call, you’ve already paid for it.

So you’re not in favor of reducing the deficit? We can overspend when it comes to immigration?

We can only spend in the military and billionaire tax cut. Meemaw will have to do without Medicare, and those sucker and loser vets better bootstrap

The difference is going into his pockets. Shocked? Ya neither are the rest of us.

Covfefe is about to be more expensive.

It’s going to be interesting seeing how much price tolerance Americans have. We have been losing it over Eggs for months now, which is fair it’s a staple grocery, but it is just a few dollars and the complaints are incessant. How will people feel about the price of their daily comfort drink going up to stick it to a country that most Americans don’t give AF about.

We’re going to be in a recession soon, and unemployment will be climbing with all the layoffs in the feds, healthcare, and international relations, so I guess we’ll see what Americans say soon enough.

All those who get laid off can just take all the jobs all these wonderful, honest, taxpaying, and honorable deportees were doing.

Because that's the lie, right?

Lots of fun: boning chickens by the thousand, slipping on cow blood on the slaughter floor, shlepping pieces of moldy drywall in Florida after the next hurricane, replacing said walls and roofs.

Jokes on you, they’re in federal jail so they can be used to do the same work they did before except as slaves now.

How many of the 475 flights during the Biden administration got turned back?

This is beautiful!

You realize we can just choose a different coffee right? That’s the point, people won’t pay it, and they will suffer.

I was not aware coffee was a necessity.

Yeah but I’m sure all of the coffee shops and cafes that sell it won’t appreciate it.

Then they will lose business. Or purchase their coffee elsewhere.

The world isn’t static- you should embrace change!

Of course they will lose business and some will go under and their employees will now be unemployed.. sounds not worth it just to bully Columbia.

COLOMBIA...with two O's.

Not only can't the PP spell "Colombia," the stupid MAGA White House can't either. Minor point but it just goes to show that they're ignorant AND they don't run their written products by a copyeditor. So sloppy.

A lot is iPhone autocorrect because we live in the District of Columbia. So, that’s what it’s learned. The White House doesn’t get that excuse.

The old dcum favorite. https://thehill.com/policy/international/5107740-colombia-presidential-plane-honduras-us-deportation-flights/

BOOM:

Earlier Sunday, President Trump slapped Colombia with 25 percent tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S., and he issued a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on “Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters,” among other measures, after the South American country rejected two planes carrying migrants.
Petro previously said he will deny entry to the United States’s deportation flights as Trump’s immigration plan begins.

This is how it is done.

Enjoy ten buck Starbucks.
