Whatever works to get them back humanely and with some dignity!. Thinking we should use standard immigration transport procedures and not u.s. military vehicles. People get nervous about u.s. military in their airspace. Not just of fear og mishaps but espionage plausibility and security clearances in those countries too. \nThere is a reason we have never used u s. Military for diplomatic issues

Best for Columbia's president to do the right thing & accept them back now. If not all Americans will view him as dumping his nation's trash at our doorstep, which weakened our national security & had done imessurable damage, upon which I'm certain President Trump will take swift action against him as an example to the other nation's leadership, and you don't wanna be THAT GUY! They cross Trump at their own peril, but the guy's a wizard at destroying people, places, or things, even your ideas if it pleasures him. Both parties are have rediculously long memories & do hold grudges. Case in point, Cuba. They never will allow Cuba to be anything other that a floating rock prison. Please do the right thing & take YOUR people back. We're at least giving him the bennifit of knowing who they are, and what they are BEFORE they can hurt your nation & act accordingly & it'll all be good. You need a little help, just reach out & let us know. We're here to work with you, not against you.

My mother and her neighbor's house (in the Bronx) were both broken into last Month, the neighbor, An ex Marine, got his motorcycle stolen. Unbeknownst to the thieves, he had an apple air tag on his bike, the cops found his motorcycle, which he worked hard for, and other motorcycles in storage unit in the South Bronx, which was being used by a gang of illegal Venezuelans and Dominicans. Most people don't care about the illegal immigration crisis because it mostly affects black and brown communities sadly. Thank you Trump for sending these criminals back!!!

So Trump people never worked out the deportations before taking off? Hahaha!

I can’t even retire I have to keep working because these people get more than me. I barely making my rent. \nLet’s go Trump we have the Bull ? with the Balls back , hopefully you can do something about Newscum

I’m not even mad at Trump only thing I agree with him on is immigration I stay in LA and I’ve been homeless for like three weeks I went to the LA mission they do not take single individuals they only take families that are illegal immigrants how is that fair Most of the people are from Venezuela and I know they need help but what about me a US citizen One of the ladies who work there Also was Telling me they are helping them with housing low income housing I’m like man

This old school Western methods of tarrifs and bans is useless, does work. Old people arent wise and friendly

Lol, what an idiot.....this man has no brain power.....he will cause a recession in America by mid year.....a lot of prices will go higher!!!! People will be fired... people will protest, which will disrupt a normal work schedule!!!! This summer is going to be very problematic!!!

I flight on December and my plain was more then 200 farmer's work with special visas for farming but they desire voluntary return Guatemala for their safety and dignity. \nMany venezolanos, Cubans and other countries should cooperate and acept their own people's is no right United States have ti dealing with other countries criminals and lazy people do not acept any job's they want easy job's.

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Yesterday Trump worked to get you $5 tomatoes. 75% of farmworkers didn't show up to harvest food that stupid conservatives eat. These are stupid people. How 48 coffees are withing sight. If you were in Europe you can import the coffee that would have gone to the US. Each days more people hate America. Soon, China will control Latin America.

Not necessarily the Colombians that were returned to Colombia are bad people! Many do not find opportunities in their country and leave it to look for work, and better ways to live. And many Colombians are very well welcomed IN USA!

Colombia did not accept because they were on military planes. If they would have been treated with respect and like human beings and arrive on commercial jets, they would have accepted. The same with Mexico. We would not like military jets or planes from other countries coming to our country. They are lucky they were not shot down. For all you MAGA people, there are thousands of jobs for you in the farming industry. We need our tomatoes, and oranges picked. Get to work MAGA and pick those crops.

We have a new sheriff in town, but this time he is awake and working for the people. \nGoodbye, CNN!

30 minutes later Colombia caved and we got EXACTLY what we wanted, and reasserted to not fuck around and find out. CNN, your fake fear mongering will not work and now you just look even more ignorant (which most people didnt think was possible, the only impressive thing about you is how you can somehow always become even more of a disappointing failure).

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

Elites want Mass Immigration only for the Sake of Cheap Labor.\nIts Inhumane and Unchristian to Support Mass Immigration that leads to Suppression of Wages for the Working Class.\nNote: Most Working Class American work in the Construction, Retail and Hospitality Sectors and in these Same sectors most Illegal Immigrants also works, this leads to Suppression of wages in these Sectors, that directly hits the Living Standard of Poor Working class People of America.

You (Trump adimistration) need to work with/collaborate with other countries. You can not just fly a minitary plane filled with unfiltered people and drmand them (Columbia) to unconditionally accept it without censoring it first.

And now Gustavo petro is agreeing to let his own people in via presidential plane lol. Almost like his terrifs work

Don't spin it. It's ILLEGALS. SAY IT ,ITS ILLEGALS.. migrations is people who legally enter a country with proper process applying for work visas and have the qualifications and experience to get a visa to live in a country.

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

So many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

CNN you are not getting it yet. We the PEOPLE are behind President Trump. We abhor your network. Your lies don’t work anymore.

He’s an idiot, the people who are working with him in his deportation nightmare are idiots. Are they unable to figure out how their hateful plans would be received; completely ignorant understanding of the boundaries that exist. America does not own the world.

Imagine you have your family, including small kids and older parents in your home and had one extra room for rent, you put ads out in the paper and interview some people for the spot, but while you are doing that, someone walked in your door and put all their things in your the room and then expected you to totally be cool with it. Anyone in their right mind, would be frustrated, even if that person was really nice and and said they'd pay rent. Any sane person would say, leave, go through the interviews, background checks, and then we'll see if it works out. It's not that you don't want to help them, but you have an order and a procedure that is in place for many reasons. \n\nImmigration is the same. It's not that the administration is anti-immigrant. We welcome ANYONE to come, you just need to come through the approved channels.

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

For these slow people, let me explain how this works: tariffs work as a tax on poor people. First time in the White House, Trump put a 25% tariff on China goods. Dollar Tree, which imports from china usually to sell everything for a dollar had to pay 25 cents on a dollar in taxes to collect the goods from the ports. So it passed that tax to the prices. So went from everything $1 to everything $1.25. a 25% percent inflation. Then China stopped buying soybeans from USA. Farmers went broke and Trump have to give them 29 billion in handouts so they won’t go broke. Genius?

Those of you saying that tariffs will not work, Colombian president has already made a statement to send a plane to take back his people ??.

this Cretin really doesnt understand how tarriffs work, the only people paying for his tarriffs will be American citizens.

I know most of y'all's hate for Trump will not make you see the good thing in what he's done. You just going to keep talking about Colombian coffee costing more, even though Trump's strategy actually worked and the Colombian President used his plane to welcome his people

For fxcks sake, with all the educated people around him why won't they explain to him how tariffs work. It doesn't hurt him it hurts us. This is a joke. It's parody.

Trump is the kind of guy who learned one lesson from school - I think the day his brain worked at school, the teacher was talking about tariffs - he thinks tariffs are the antidote of all problems. The US drinks a lot of coffee, so that means now your Starbucks is double the prices and your people will pay it.

trump is too stupid on how Tariffs work, he isn't thinking about the best interest of America ,he just has when people stand up against him , hold tight to your money and spend on necessities ,forget about luxury items for a while

“Colombia isn’t working with me, so I’m punishing the American people with more expensive goods!”

The orange turd called the migrants he wanted to dump on Columbia criminals \nA convicted felon (criminal) calling hard working people criminal makes trump a mental reject. \nIsn’t there a law that prevents mental cases from being president.

You guys don’t understand how tariffs work….\n\nEdit: damn you guys are still going…. \nI commented without wanting any people to comment. But appreciate that people that are cordial and nice. ?? \nRealized what a waste of time it is.

And all the lawyers and all the people are protesting to see that they stay in America and they come in illegally all the lawyers they should get arrested as well because you cannot come here illegally and they have lawyers working with them no get their lawyers arrested

American people need their jobs back. This number of people here in America illegally working jobs isn’t right.

This is unequivocally the most disturbing video I've seen. This is inexcusable!!!!\n\nThis is NOT who we are! This is inhumane - look at that razorwire right there in front of children!\nThese people have it so hard. Does anyone realize how hard it is to go to another country every day to work and then go home? Are we going to starve? \n\nNO ONE deserves to be treated like this. \n\nThis CANNOT CONTINUE!

SEE WHAT YOU-TUBE AND THE NEWS DOES? THIS SHIT IS A YEAR OLD, AND THEY ARE SHOWING IT AGAIN TO GET PEOPLE ALL WORKED UP!, THIS SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW! CRIMINALS.

If you are thinking about entering the United States illegally at the cost of your child's safety and your safety is it really worth it to be pimped out by the cartel that is the sad reality you or your baby will go through do not send your baby alone that is the most messed up inhuman thing anyone who has sent their baby alone is a monster because you don't even care what's going to happen to that baby you just care that one day they can send you money that is greed that is of greed sad reality you send your baby over the border illegally and it gets traffic there's not going to be no money sent home to Mommy and Daddy because either they're going to get murked before they're able to work or probably turn into drugs in their adult age because of all of the trauma do not send your women alone the cartel will pimp them out if you go through the wrong way do not trust people that say that they can get you in they are most likely the cartel planning to hurt you go storm your own capital you guys are taking away our housing it should be first for the people that were born here I have no bias against you because you're from another country but I have every bit of biased towards your behavior you guys have shity behavior that are crossing over illegally and at first I was for the families but now I'm not sure

All these people are not hardcore criminals or the wouldn't be caught at work.

Hahaha WTF. Why do they even think this is going to work????? Come on in. Well take you right back! These people are so entitled.

Such a shame not being wanted is devastating we don't know what they go through in their country. But I agree they need to learn to stand up for their country and help each other create work for each other and provide for each other by sharing their food their vege gardens crops. Come on people learn to support yourselves in your own country.❤❤❤

Illegal aggression entry should be punished just as other crime laws. Where and how people are thinking to immigrate illegally in a country without nothing and expect or force government of the country to hand you a free heaven?! Lord Almighty give us peace in this ? world.\nProtect those law enforcement who are working in risking their life to protect us all ??

As a Brit I know many decent integrated Indians here. But none of them are recent arrivals. Older immigrants were respectful and wanted to be British and adopt British ways. But newer immigrants act as if we owe them something while acting in disrespectful dirty disgusting ways. For example in India I have to use Indian toilets as Indians do. I don’t pretend I don’t understand how to use them, I don’t need instructions on the door and I don’t break the toilet by standing on it, shytting up the walls and all over the floor and leave it there like that’s normal. I’ve worked in offices where this was routine when Indian contractors were brought in. Integrated Indian men seem to take great pride in dressing smartly and smelling good. But it’s really common for Indians to smell REALLY BAD. Poor personal hygiene plus excessive amounts of Indian food (you’re abroad ffs try some different food!) creates a truly vile odour. Some Indian men also think it acceptable to stare at and harass British girls (although to be fair they do not have as bad a reputation as their neighbours) they are also rude and racist to white people especially women. Some Indians in 2025 still seem to think they’re living under the Raj and Britain is ‘oppressing’ them. They’re not and we’re not. The empire brought benefits to India and left peacefully over 70 YEARS ago. We don’t owe you ANYTHING. This victim mentality means India will NEVER be a proper first world country. You can flood the world with sheer numbers but you will never be respected or improve the world in any way, you will only ever leech off the invention of others. I do not mean to disrespect the many decent Indian people I’m just telling the truth. As a culture your presence outside of India is negative because of the way so many Indians act, trying to create India wherever they go. And they have the cheek to say this is ok because they got colonised. WELL SO DID WE! That is the truth.

Just wait a second, here’s an idea why don’t we as a nation stop welfare start eliminating it slowly get the people off the system get them to work, replace the workers with a lower paying jobs and give them an up grade to a higher paying job with the necessary skills they need to get a higher paying job, and so on let’s get Canadian people back to work. Let’s start looking after Canadians first, really Canadians be self sufficient not reliant on other countries just saying

Good, stop making it sound sad cause canada does NOT want indians in Canada u guys are dropping out living standards to dirty streets to getting people sick by working in fast foods to even taking jobs from future kids

Oh look at all those peaceful, law abiding, hard working good people
