“The U.S. cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals,” Petro wrote. Petro said even though there were 15,660 Americans without legal immigration status in Colombia, he would never carry out a raid to return handcuffed Americans to the United States. “We are the opposite of the Nazis,” he wrote, in a jab at Trump. Mexico also refused a request last week to let a U.S. military aircraft land with migrants.

    Apparently Colombia and Mexico disagree, and they’re not even particularly powerful. Sounds more like the US is all bark, at the moment.

        “Can” does not mean “should”.

        America has a long history of bullying Central and South America. The current situation is unfortunate, but not entirely surprising.

          Im just not surprised by anything these days. Whatever is the worst thing I can think of happening is nearly always an underestimate.

          The United States is just an embarrassment on every level.

            Personally, I am hoping it is part of a lifecycle, and that the dawn of a new golden age will happen after Reconstruction v2.0 has thoroughly removed the poison from America’s veins.

              It might be, but this kind of change only happens with a blood sacrifice, and Americans won’t do that. So, this spell cannot be broken.
