Don't worry
Actually, do worry!

Colombia rightfully told the US planes to turn around and go home.
That link seems to suggest they then immediately caved and are now doing the opposite. Also, why would it be right to not let your own citizens back into the country after they get sent home? What, they're supposed to say we don't want them just put them into ghettos I guess?
The big issue here is they're being treated as criminals who committed violent crimes and it's a disgusting sight for everyone involved except racists. A lot of these people are innocent people, some who have been here for over 15-20 years and have entire lives and families in the US.
That's why most of the talks here were around Colombia sending their Presidential plane to pick up their citizens. They weren't rejecting the people, they were rejecting the way in which it was done.
Mexico is also doing similar things rejecting military aircraft, but still allowing the deliver of Undocumented immigrants. Sheinbaum has also been preaching a lot on welcoming everyone home, most of LATAM has had the same perspective from what I've read and seen.

They changed/updated the article because events changed in between the time it was posted and you reading it. The link has the original headline in it.
I'm not sure i like that. It kind of rewrites history in a way.
Yeah, I keep reading about the rejections and thinking about how many people might have lived if the rest of the world had just accepted the deported Jews from Germany.
what about if the world had tackled the threat of Hitler sooner? do you think MORE caving in and capitulation was the lesson we should have learned?
I think taking people who need a place to be is a primary step. You can do both.
A fair point. I hope we do.
"blatant disrespect" of their rights.... Yeah, that's the subtext of this administration.
Trump II: blatant disrespect of their rights.
Coming to an everywhere near you!
This is going to have such long lasting impact
All that influence and goodwill the US accumulated after WWII is going to dust
Don't worry too much over it. Many of us understand it's only your president deciding on your behalf. Bridges can be rebuilt when you get a decent person in office. We depend too much on each other to let one single man with a stupid agenda break us apart. Funnily enough, it seems Trump is uniting everyone below the border. I don't think he projected that far into the consequences.
But then every 4 years there's basically the risk of shit hitting the fan again. Any agreement or treaty or deal can be just dropped if the next guy doesn't like it. Very little incentive for anyone to agree to anything in that case.
Yes. Very little reason to trust the United States now. Countries will tend to get very transactional with the US, and shift their allegiances to China or EU

This the major defect of US governance that is being laid bare now. American presidentialism puts too much power on the hands of the president, which can result in schizophrenic foreign policy
It’s not just the president. Biden deported more people than trump did in his first term, Obama deported more than any president before him. The US empire continues regardless of who is in power. The only thing that changes is whether the fox smiles before he kills you or the wolf bares its teeth.
The children in cages at the border from the first time come to mind.
Honestly, I think that the kid cages is much worse. The kids didn't make any of the decisions that put them in that position. They should be treated far better.
I was in a similar situation once and I sincerely appreciate your sympathy. The hostility is not worth it and I wish everyone crossing the border would have that vividly in mind going in. It's easy to prioritize higher wages and a slightly more stable future for your children with complete disregard of your treatment. To a kid, that leaves a big mark. I have mine.
Always a good idea to separate trump supporters from the normal americans who hate this stuff as much as the people it happens to.
Even with fascism having an uptick, most people hate this shit.
most people hate this shit.
Apparently, thats very much not true. Around 22% of Americans hate this shit, everyone else is too young or too sick/old to have an opinion, or really loves this shit, can't get enough of it.
I'm glad to be part of that 22%.
America can rot in hell for all I care at this point
Fuck that noise. I'm going down swinging at the fascist fucks to protect not only myself, but also the idiots who voted for them.
They may have elected monsters, but that doesn't mean they don't need protection from those same monsters.
It's natural selection. If they don't learn that their actions have consequences, they'll never change
At least a few percent of voters were purged, possibly amounting to enough to have flipped the results of the EC.

Plenty to hate it, but still not enough to act to keep it from happening, please continue to roast us until these fuckwhits can't win an election...assuming we get more of those that are real
Just saying, it actually happened under Biden too:
And Obama, and would've happened under Harris. Democrats are not pro-immigration and I don't think they've ever been in my working memory. I had family deported under Obama and the treatment was awfully degrading on so many levels. And yet this level of anti-immigration coming from Trumplethinskin is somehow worse. Fuck the dude.
It sucks because it's performative.
"Look at me being mean to these poor people".
The more terrible was more terrible than the less terrible. But at least I get to claim the moral high ground... Dumbass
Their first mistake was thinking Donnie Shitbag's admin thinks they're human. Their second mistake was thinking they care.
