The SOB truly doesn’t know the difference between an illegal immigrant and a refugee

Agree 100 percent at the individual country level. But if we continue to treat regions of the world with disrespect, you will see alliances form in trade that exclude us. Then the paper cuts will start to add up.

We are not the only country with pride. Remember the farm bailouts during Trump's first term?

Good luck with that. We have the world reserve and it won’t end well for them.

You want the live in a world where Trump is always the strong man, only the US wins, and every other country is weak/wrong. That's because you only think 2 dimensionally. Some of you will start to see the impact of rash decisions in the coming months.

You'll wonder why there is no one to pick your vegetables, build your house, landscape your property, and clean your hotel room. Then you'll say something witty like force food stamps recipients to fill these jobs. It's who you are. And meanwhile costs will climb.

I find the “who will pick the crops, who will clean the toilets?” crew to be some of the more despicable people in American life.

Continually importing an illegal underclass of menial laborers to work in de facto indentured servitude is absolutely evil. You are evil.

If what you describe comes to pass (it won’t), then that is the price we will have to pay for returning to rational immigration policy.

If you haven’t noticed by now. Tariffs are a club Trump is wielding to gain concessions. Not something that he is ideologically attached to so much that he would allow them to seriously harm the American consumer. That’s the benefit of a President who is transactional and not ideological and only cares about success.

In this particular instance, they’d have far more to lose than we do.

Exports and imports with Colombia are pretty much in balance. But they represent a tiny fraction of our GDP, and a fairly significant fraction of theirs.

One little country like that can’t win a trade war with us. It’s a rowboat versus a battleship.

They really shouldn’t have turned that plane around. Fell right into Trump’s trap.

For crying out loud it wasn’t a “trap”.

Trump sent a plane full of criminals home. Criminals wear chains.

People who break US law as their first act on American soil have some respect?

We have the world reserve

Not for long, if you have your way.

“Not really”

Oh, you don’t have to convince me. We have a ton of economic heft. But it’s not unlimited.

But one of the great Achilles Heels of our policymakers is the misconception that we have no limits.

Of all the posters on the board, you’re the last one I’d expect to hear that from.

You don’t think Trump etal expected countries to balk at receiving these folks?

I do.

lol…I didn’t say I liked the system, but it is one of the perks of being the WRC.

I do.

For folks like Farva, everything is simply happening organically because Trump is just that awesome.

There are existing repatriation agreements in place and unless the U.S. was somehow in violation, which I doubt, I don’t see what Columbia or any other country is doing by denying flights.

I don’t even know what that means. Presumably these are all hard working, decent folks that Columbia should want back.

Trump has been crystal clear there would be repercussions for countries denying repatriation flights. One country was dumb enough to do it. It’s a Machiavellian plan in the same way a parent telling their child not to touch the hot stove is a Machiavellian plan.

You seem often perturbed at an administration enforcing the law and taking action. And you might need to ask yourself why.

I'm not perturbed by any of this. Just amused by you.

And it's Colombia.
