I like how his statement paints not accepting refugees as a negative action

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

Trump wouldn't recognize hypocrisy if it walked up and kicked him in the balls.

Sanctions not going through Congress, it's insane that's considered constitutional

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

He governs by decrees basically, and so did biden. Its mental gymnastics at olympic level to call the US a democratic country.

[-] Krik@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 3 days ago

You missed the point where the people were cuffed the whole flight, were dehydrated and transported in military planes like cattle. That's why those planes were rejected.

The president send his own jet to get these people back because they are people not cattle.

Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.

Love it.

If they won't take them, maybe we could put all these Columbians in some sort of District. A District of Columbia filled with criminals. Wait, we already have that.

Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!

He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.

[-] Philosofuel@futurology.today 33 points 3 days ago

I feel like all economies will soon be just trading with eachother, except with the US.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 22 points 3 days ago

That is the only logical step. You can’t make deals with someone who throws you under the bus at the next opportunity 🤷🏻

[-] ryper@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

They should start now. Countries should cut off trading with the US once Trump starts making threats in their direction, instead of waiting for him to make up his mind and do something. He's too used to there not being any consequences.

Getting married to a Colombian woman as an America. Is this going to hinder her from getting a marriage visa and coming to America with me?

[-] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

With all the executive orders he's spewing forth, I wouldn't be surprised if you run into some roadblocks, if only out of confusion on the part of immigration officials. For both your sakes, I hope it isn't too disruptive. Mazel tov!

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 days ago

It's anyone's guess, but Trump's an idiot.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

When did you submit the marriage visa? Also congrats! My wife is also Colombian and these last few days have been a fun time

Edit: I wish I could supply more information directly, but I am still trying to learn the visa processes. A local immigrant lawyer runs a daily Q&A stream if you want to hop in and see if you can get a slot to ask about your situation. Link: Jim Hacking immigration law. Dood is a good guy who doesn't bullshit and gets straight to the point. I hope everything goes well for you and your SO

It would be a good idea that Mexico, Columbia and other latin countries promote the Trump Wall, but expelling all US residents in their countries. A wall always works in both directions.

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 3 days ago

Man, I’d love to meet the man, just so I could tell him to fuck off and die.

Viva Colombia

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago

Cool, more tariffs to punish…us?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 days ago

His base see it as him punishing Columbia and they'll later be surprised at how much some things cost and blame liberals for it.

Maybe the US should take back the US members of ISIS that have been left (along with the people from the other nations that joined ISIS) for the Kurds to keep.

"Criminals they forced into the United States" = "Invasion"

"Repatriation" != "Deportation"

Repatriation is what happens when you return a POW to their country of origin. Deportation is when you return a criminal to their country of origin.

POWs are not entitled to access to the criminal justice system. They can be held indefinitely without charges, or returned to their country of origin, without judicial oversight. Since deportation is a judicial process, POWs are not subject to deportation.

POWs are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of US law; Trump is arguing that the children of "invader-immigrants" can't be citizens.

Look, I know that immigration is a contentious issue, but sanctioning a country for not repatriating its citizens is a disproportionate response. Trump and Co. are really obsessed with immigration to even do this. It says a lot what values they have.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Are those people really Columbian citizens? I would not put it past Trump to just command ICE to land the next plane full of "somehow latin looking people" somewhere south of the border.

[-] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago

It's a response to make them do it. And it worked. They caved.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I just saw the news that Colombia gave in.

Trump is going all in. He's reverting to the 19th century way of strong arming other countries over petty things. He's reviving the old-school capitalist imperialism.

[-] ubergeek@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago

He’s reviving the old-school capitalist imperialism.

It never went away...
