Invade their airspace and have the migrants parachute back into their nations. What does that tell you if these unstable Latin American nations refuse their own citizens?

Meanwhile, most people of Greenland, who are full Danish citizens and can travel freely to live/work anywhere within the EU Schengen Area, don’t want to become Americans by not allowing their country to become a U.S. territory. Perhaps a $100K offer by President Trump to each resident of Greenland will quickly change their mind as they only have a population of about 57,000 people which will cost the U.S. only $5.7 billion. This is what “The Art of the Deal” is all about.

Once a president is allowed to do something like this, it just shows me that he doesn't respect people's basic human rights. We are opening the door to him to do whatever he wants to all American citizens. None of us are safe.

In my opinion… if those other countries won’t take back their own citizens… offer the illegals an opportunity to withdraw their patronage of their home country denying them to ever go back and grant them citizenship after serving 1 year in prison or serve in our military for 4 years for illegally crossing the border breaking American law.

No, you didn't understand the Colombian president's post. He was only against the use of military plane and lack of process, he never said he will not accept deported Colombian immigrants. There needs to be a coordination because they also need to make sure on their end that it's only their citizens that are being dumped in their country and that they're being treated humanely. Also, Colombia just hit U.S. with 50% tariff. Also dont forget there is arround 15.000 North American citizens living illegally in Colombia... So... WTF? U.S shoukd take it easy on his rear flank

Good get them the hell out and start housing the dreamers who are American citizens living in tents all over the damn country. More of a nightmare for them.

Don’t come to this country thinking the grass will be greener. You all will suffer here and treated like crap. The American dream has become the worse nightmare even for citizens of the country. Many homeless and mentally ill people that get no assistance plus crime everywhere. Don’t waste your lives here.

This started Friday in Brazil ?? when the interior minister with police and media boarded a US plane refueling in a Brazilian city carrying returning Brazilian migrants. The police acted surprised when they discovered the migrants were all handcuffed and leg ironed. They were removed, fed, showered and returned home by Brazil.\nThis was big news throughout the Latin countries.\nThe Colombian President would not accept his civilians being treating as criminals. Colombia ?? sent a plane to pick up their citizens without the mechanical restraints.\nColombia has now imposed a 50% tariff on all American products and seeking other countries to partner with, in effect shutting out the US. This is gonna be so good for china’s ?? economy

My tax dollars are saying where are the American citizens in need that need me?

The Columbia government does not accept their own citizens how can our American government want them. ?

American citizens ,be prepared to bite the dust .verry soon ..bye

And those tarriffs will also be charged to the American citizens just like that damned flight!

Could you imagine being from one of these crappy South American countries that say “No, we refuse to take our citizens back!” This cements in the point that they are not sending their best and brightest.

He’s not asking Columbia to take Americans but to take their own citizens back. We can get tropical fruit from FL, PR, HI and the USVI. We’re not playing with Columbia so they better stop playing with us.

Traffics will increase costs initially, but American companies will start bringing jobs home as it costs them more to operate in foreign countries. The question is why is Columbia not accepting their citizens back! They know they sent their gangs and criminals to the US and don’t want to deal with them again!

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.

United States of America is closed. We must take care of our American citizens first.

I hope those Latin American countries send back the US citizens living illegally in their countries.

CNN can’t help but embarrass themselves with their Trump hatred. They are claiming that Trumps threats against Columbia could hurt American citizens while the Colombian president has already given in to Trumps demands.

All this man is doing is making Americans that travel abroad targets and raising the cost of foods for American citizens.

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

Yes and we are Winning as Americans. Trump listens to the legal Citizens. Those of you that wish to be a Citizen of America you need to follow the process. Follow the process or pay the price. How Dumb do you have to be?

I don't like Trump at all, think he rallies people who are racist towards south and central americans, but also I think a good country never denies a plane full of it's citizens

Trump is just a puppet. He never left the set of The Apprentice he just changed location to the White House. Holding the puppet strings are all of the would-be oligarchs and authors of project 2025, and he's developing a posse of criminals to bully American citizens. My hope is that they're all heading for a steep cliff to fall into and disappear. Not practical but ever hopeful. That's probably not a very kind thing to say but so many people are suffering because of this 2025 administration. I don't even like to say his name because I have already had a shower today. ???

US citizens keep thinking this is a good thing. He keeps this up and Americans won't be able to travel anywhere, only stay home and won't be able to afford goods and services here in the U.S. ?

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

So colombia did not receive colombian citizens back?\nOr they were a mixed bag of south american citizens?

I don’t understand why Colombia wouldn’t take back their own citizens who were in the US illegally. What if they wanted to deport an American who was in their country illegally… say overstayed a visa? American should just force them to keep that person? People complain that trump is somehow off his rocker but it violates diplomatic norms to refuse to take back your own people .

Thats right, not only are these illegals ending the lives of American citizens but they are atracking their own people in New York sanctuary hotels

The American citizens are GOING TO PAY THOSE 25% TARIFFS, SO IDIOTIC TRUMP SUPPOTERS/VOTERS GET YOUR MONEY READY!!!!!!!!!!!! \nYOU DID THIS TO THE REST OF US!!!!

I just don't understand why countries don't want their criminal citizens back! Save American tax dollars and let them walk back to their countries.

So Columbia and the world should start deporting US passport holders and US citizens back to the US from their respective countries and decline Visas for Americans seeking to travel or work outside the US. The world can play that game as well. Plus imposing tariffs on US goods and services.

Lol 875K flight to Mexico tax payers paid for only to be sent back today as mexico denied entry. Best part? Dozens of the people on the flight had American passports. They were birthright citizens shipped to Mexico ( a country most weren't even from). It is ALL for show and they'll move onto the next grift in a week

Use more simple words, the average Americans citizens cannot follow.

Democrats are blame make these people thinks . They above Americans citizens who suffer under Joe Biden's Administration.

Deputize American Citizens

I wonder what media outlet has been telling them that it is ok for them to come into illegally and the American people will take care of them? Who has been hounding a person who wants to keep US citizens safe and housed? I think it is you CNN!

The irony here is that if roles were reversed and america was a crap country while venezuela and south america were great countries nd american citizens were trying to get into those countries, none of these ppl would say let americans in nd we would be either shot at by those countries govts or jailed and tortured nd eventually deported. Ive had enough of this nonsense. Main reason i voted for donald trump was to put an end to this bs. Sorry. Border closed!

ILLEGALS THEY ARE NOT MIGRANTS! QUIT PUSHING A GLOBAL LEFT DEMOCRAT NEW WORLD ORDER AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE !@#$%^* DONE WITH THIS BS!

Don't forget free medical, then who payes for it. American Citizens with there taxes.

This is what you get if you invade a country \nWe Americans don’t support illegal migration go the front door like what I did 35 yrs ago I waited for my visa together with my two young sons we are now citizens of United States that’s the only way \nDon’t cross our borders illegally

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

Oh CNN -- Get a grip!!!\nTry reporting REAL NEWS and stop catering to the left. Your views are in the dumpster!\n Obama & Biden & buds CREATED this MESS!!! ILLEGALS DON'T BELONG IN OUR COUNTRY!!!\n IF one wants to become an American citizen there are ways to do it LEGALLY!!!\n\n THANK GOD 4 PRESIDENT TRUMP\nThe border will be made way more secure and it needs to continue to remain secure even after he leaves office.

I earned my permanent resident status back in 2001 and joined US ARMY during war in terror and served for 8 years. While serving, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the middle of hot zones, dodging grim reaper's radar for many, many times. When I finally earned my US citizenship through military, I seamlessly transitioned into law enforcement career in New York for past 10 years, which I encountered with many illegal criminals with rap sheets- which some makes you think why they are still wondering in the street instead of locked up in the jail, having their freedom taken away. What is funny is that many of these illegal criminals have such an entitled mindset that they are deserve to be here in US without permit do whatever they want and enjoying these unbelievable benefits that these sanctuary city/state provides that we, us citizens don't even get- and we are paying for it with our hard earned money. I think I earned my citizenship with blood and sweat, same goes to many immigrant hopefuls that came to U.S with true American dream. It is time to take back our country and I 100% support with Trump's decision on this.

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

They made us Citizens American Dream a nightmare!

HELLO ? \nThere are people from many countries waiting to enter Legally, and they’ve done ✅ what they’ve had to do in order to become an AMERICAN ?? CITIZEN❗️\nThe millions of Illegals have been holding up the Honest Law Abiding People, but no more waiting ????

As a Native American. I'll be denied for Canadian Citizen ship. My Dene ralatives live in Northern Canada. If i was from India, Mexico, China or other countries, I'll become citizen just like snaping my fingers.

American homeless citizens and veterans FIRST

As I know A Real Canadian never want to be an American citizen?
