They’re desperate. If they had only known where they were running to, they would have stayed away from the most racist country in the world.

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

They are not refugees they are not seeking political asylum they're leaving a country that was paying them free money and now they're not getting any more free money and now they want to come to another country where they can get free money.

What a fool ??. You're just a Mexican to him. Not American.

Look, I get it. The USA is a great place to live and people want to live here. Just do it legally and you're good to go.

lol ? The comments seem to think we’re not enjoying this. Yes this is what we voted for, this is what we wanted! I’m happy!

THIS KIND OF MAYHEM IS EXACTLY WHY THEY CANNOT BE IN OUR COUNTRY !!!! THEY'RE UTTERLY UNCIVILIZED AND SO UNHINGED. THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OUR SAFETY OR THEIR OWN CHILDREN'S - THEY'RE LIKE WILD FEROCIOUS ANIMALS!!!!!! NOOO!!! WE NEED TO STOP THEM AT ALL COSTS, THEY'RE ASKING FOR IT!!!!

You’re forgetting to report that Colombian President (or whatever) has changed his mind and now accepting his citizens after tariff threats ??

? *We voted for this we want this, as Americans we want America cleaned up* I don't care if ICE goes in the middle of the night or if they go during the day and take children out of elementary schools... these illegals have to go back home, and they have to go now, immediately!!! We're taking our country back and there's nothing that these Advocates groups and the civil rights groups can do about it, because they're not supposed to be here! Everyone can blame Joe Biden why this is happening in the first place and we can all thank President Trump for cleaning up Joe Biden's mess

Gonna get worse! We're seeing this right now because of past decisions that were all crap!

And I'm waiting for a liberal idiot to explain to me how this is not an invasion. All this wonderful diversity they're trying to bring into our country. Why are they running away from what their ancestors built and trying to break into and take advantage of what my ancestors built?

This is all obama’s plan to cause division among us . He’s the one that told them come on in . Force your way & that’s what they’re doing.

Free s*** that's the only reason you moved because you're not a type of person who has loyalty for anything but your own people. No one is more my people than a black man. Except for maybe a Jewish person.

China just sitting down! ?\nWe're a country of idiots!! \nChina is willing to help them

You can gather tens of thousands of people to illegally invade a country but you’re telling me these same folks can’t put their heads together to build themselves a town. Or to gather in front of their politicians house and clean out their corruption in their country. Or to formulate a deal with some other country’s so they can get some funding to startup opportunities in their own communities. There’s enormous value in the fact that you can have this many people gather in person the problem is nobody has the brains or intelligence to be a good leader so that the human effort isn’t wasted. Even if they were to get in the problems their facing will not be solved. The problem is that that many people are putting their heads together and the best idea they all can come up with is to invade a country risking life and limb, abduction, and SA at the hands of smugglers and cartels is crazy.

These people need cages. They're animals. They have no respect for my country, American culture and American people. Get them outta here.

What are the rules of engagement for this situation? We're being invaded with violence.

Stay in your country and fix it. Use that force you're showing us right now to demand your government to help you.

You’re Secretary of State didn’t know this before the plane took off? The logistics wasn’t worked out prior to this flight?

Keep it up! The American people are watching. It confirms we're right.

Dear tax payer. These flights which get turned around cost you...cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve nothing. \nWe're now effectively giving migrants free theme park rides lol

Does CNN understand the vast majority of migrants dont have a choice but to flee. Ofcourse they could flee elsewhere. But they're happy to come to America and work like slaves for us so we can have cheap stuff....

I agree, why don't they rise against their own nations as a free people and take back their countries!!! They obviouslt have desires to elevate their lives in some way, we americans had to fight for our country and it wasn't exactlt easy, these people are weak and pathetic for running away from their problems only to bring our country more problems that we can't deal with ourselves, I say we just hand them all a surplus of guns and a campaign plan to take back their own country lol, as much as I hate seeing any human suffer aside from rapists and murderers and child sex abusers, we in America have too many problems ourselves, and I was always told if you can't fix yourself, or love yourself how can you ever hope to be and good for anyone else, and that rings so true with everything, these people need to stand on their own 2 feet and fight against whatever tyranny they have and become a free people, I know if they did that someday they would probably succeed, and perhaos if they did start fighting for their freedom and trying to take back their country, we Americans might help them succeed in those endeavors some way or another...Who knows, these people need to rush their own governments and plead with them or overtake them, they can bum rush our borders I see no reason why they're not capable of doing the same in their own country, massive numbers beats out a shaggy old military and corrupt government any day everytime, yes many lives lost, but the sounds of trumpets for victort will ring out loudly on the end, and the people can finally have the lives and country they desire, we ain't it right now folks so turn back around and take all this border crossing energy to fight against your own establishments

If you snuck it into the country illegally and are working illegally, which means you committed a federal offence, which also means you committed a felony, which means you’re also a criminal. What part don’t they understand?

Yeah your right about XAI308K being the best investment this year. Elon Musk's first crypto coin and we're lucky to get in early.

But you guys don’t explain and now they’re accepting them

If we’re expected to care for another nations citizens, then it is certainly fair for us to tax them

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

Just tell her you're going to get a side chick then and watch her attitude change.

If you're going back you never had a need for asylum

Really? We’re using the term ‘blitz’ now? So very Nazi Germany of you. Minute 4:17

Go home we're full!!!!

You don’t want to meet our demands? Ok, we’re going to tax you 25%!!! Take that!!!! Boom, genius level!

You want to come into my country then you come in the legal way. You're going through the front door not the back door.

They’re pushing Trump to take the worse decision?

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Go back to wherever you're from and work to improve your country.

I was born and raised in America on 56 years old and I can't even get an apartment and hear they're giving these immigrants 68,000 and 6 months to live on just handed to them for free. And I can't even get my tax refund that they owe me from 2018 $5,000 because I have to prove that it's me and they're giving me such a hard time they keep saying no it's not you answer these questions wrong. Whatever freaking Biden Harris just destroyed this country in 4 years

What on earth makes them feel they're entitled to come into our country ?

The Bonehead-in-Chief still thinks tariffs are a hammer. They're a boomerang.

Criminals don’t deserve “respected” treatment! They’re criminals. Lol. I can’t believe these countries are whining about “degrading treatment”. These are criminals!

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

Awww, widdle Trumpy wumpy having a fit. ?Daddy! They're not playin' right! Bawl some more

It might take longer, but we're just trying to make Colombia great, again.

We're seeing it because they think they're entitled to come on in uninvited.

Send their ass back , come in the legal way and you’re more than welcome!!!

Get coffee from Italy. So why wouldn’t he take his citizens back? Because they’re such heavy criminals, as trump said first term, they’re not sending their best

You work with other countries & they work with you. Act like you're a mob boss threatening allies & kissing enemies asses & the rest of the world is going to get it's back up & fight back. Columbia just wasn't playing the game of the strongman look Trump was trying by sending a military plane instead of a passenger plane.

Colombia's socialist president ??? just because you're not a right wing extremist favoring the oligarchs you're a socialist? ?

But why won't they want their Doctors and Engineers back? and look, they're all men all military age with no kids and women attached it'll be great for your country right?
