Any country refusing to repatriate citizens caught illegally in another should have an equal number of legal visas to enter revoked..

All these useless leaders of these countries should fix their countries so their citizens would stay home.

IMPOSE AT LEAST 50% TARIFFS ON COLOMBIA , MEXICO OR ANY COUNTRY REFUSES TO ACCEPT THEIR GOD DAMN CITIZENS!!

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.

My question is how is it a bad thing to MAKE a country take it's own citizen's BACK?

Shows what kind of rotten country Columbia is by turning back their own citizens.

I'm not a trump voter or fan and I think he's a moron, BUT I have a problem with any country that does not want to take back their own citizens!

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

Why would a country not want their own citizens back? Pretty telling

HOORAY for President Trump! Sad that a country doesn't want IT'S OWN CITIZENS back.

Are they Colombian citizens? You can't dump your illegals on any other country. Ban all coffee from Columbia

What you mean a country doesnt want to house their own citizens?

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

Well, no one said it this was going to be easy. So, explain to me why Columbia doesn’t want their own citizens back in their own country???

Shame on these countries whose allowed their citizens left their countries & didn’t take them back. We thanks our President for stepping up

Good! America needs to start taking care of its it's people FIRST, we have citizens of all races and religious backgrounds and they matter! We can only do so much and it has to be done the right way! We cant open borders and continue to destroy our country!!!

But why would a country refuse its citizen?

The comment section here thinks this isn’t important. You people need to leave this country. Columbia, didn’t want their own citizens? What kind of shit is that?

So these countries don’t want their own citizens back? If that’s the case why would we want them? Looks like Trump was right, they aren’t sending their best

It appears CNN is having difficultes keeping up with Trump so here's the current scoop... Pesident Gustavo has already folded and even offered his presidential plane to help deport Colombian citizens from the US. For the other countries who thinks President Trump is playing games, his message is simple, it's four letters: FAFO!

Well… is it allowed that a country not allow their own citizens to enter their country!!! Anti human rights… if the USA evacuated those illegals “it’s legal” but Colombia not to receive them “it’s illegal” they r their citizens!!!

Do they know what “ migrants” was used for? Migrant workers who would go back and forth during agriculture seasons. \nThese people are not “migrants”, their illegal aliens who did not come into the US lawfully. Praise this President who is not going to put up with countries sending their citizens into this country snd crossing the border illegally

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!

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

CNN Really trying to push the bot narrative. They rather see illegals murder citizens all in the name for keeping sIavery alive and well in this country.

What kind of country refuses to have their own citizens back? If they don't take 'em, why should we?

Very simple. Put them. In commercial flights.now you see. If their own country are not willing to take their own citizens. All citizens are doomed

I’m not a financial expert but it strikes me that placing a tariff on every country of the world (especially major trading partners like china and Canada) will only harm the US and therefore US citizens.

These countries are refusing to take back their own citizens. What does that tell you?

and Petro backfired with tariffs. Well done Petro. Also, all countries in Latin America should request a visa to enter any Latin America countries to all USA citizens.

So, I don't like DT and didn't vote for him... but those were Columbian nationals that were sent back to their home country. Columbia has an obligation to take back their own citizens and the US does not have an obligation to keep illegal migrants on its soil. I'm an immigrant and it took me 12 years to become a citizen. I didn't just slip through the border and call myself home.

Lol What did he think these countries are just going to take these people back. Columbia does not want them back there. They are US Citizens as far as that goes

The U.S. media is not informing the people the reason why the President of Colombia denying entry. Instead they are calling Colombian president a “socialist.” Colombia is calling for humanitarian way to do it. Let’s not forget We have had us citizens being arrested in Russia and we demand release or a good treatment. This move by the U.S. is not good to pick a battle with countries from your continent. This will push countries to join BRICS.

When you’re such a horrible citizen, your own country doesn’t want you back. I approve this message.

Some countries don't want to be seen as receiving kidnapped people especially those that are not from Colombia & are definitely not Colombian citizens... this was nit deportation this was stalk,capture, transport & abandon... only show slaveship tactic uses planes instead of boats

Interesting how these countries won't take their own citizens back like maybe they wanted them to leave like maybe they were criminals or something absolutely disgusting

Trump is doing this stuff out of spite not to help America but to try and hurt foreign countries trying to force them to do the things he wants. Trumps spite is gonna effect the USA citizens pockets we are gonna pay higher prices on the goods now. Yall his supporters talking about yall want something different in a president OKAY YALL GOT WHAT YOU WANT TRUMP IS GONNA HURT YALL WAY OF LIVING ALSO.

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 .

Does anyone wonder why a country would not take its own citizens back? Telling isn’t it.

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.

Columbia will accept if the deported immigrants are verified that they’re citizens. Like in the past with commercial flights With emergency travel documents. Who knows what these people are , could be AGENTS /spies TO disrupt the country with coup. You can’t just land any military aircraft into anywhere without the other\nCountries national security agencies .

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.

Brilliant plan! Does anyone realize that all these tariffs will not affect the countries that he’s placing the tariffs on. US businesses pay for these tariffs then they pass on the cost of the tariffs to us the US citizens. Can’t wait to see how this is gonna go over.

that is a bad move from trump, all these countries can turn their back to use dollar to trade and soon use the BRICS currency. deport is the right move, however deport with human dignity. Not all these ilegal Citizens are criminals, only a fraction of them

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

Good! These countries should be mandated to take back their own citizens! Cancel all their visas slap tariffs and sanctions

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!

Why is it a problem entering the U.S. legally? \nDoesn’t anyone respect the U.S. law? Every country has laws.\nThe U.S. citizens don’t take things for granted. That’s why the U.S. is trying to enforce the U.S. law and stop the forced entry. The invasion is taking the U.S. for granted. If they don’t respect the law what makes you think forced entry is going to abide by the law.

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
