Yesterday the commie president of Colombia started the FA part of the FA:FO formula by refusing two repatriation flights of illegals from the US. Gustavo Petro issued a statement saying:
Los EEUU no pueden tratar como delincuentes a los migrantes Colombianos.
Desautorizo la entrada de aviones norteamericanos con migrantes colombianos a nuestro territorio.
EEUU debe establecer un protocolo de tratamiento digno a los migrantes antes que los recibamos nosotros.
The translation reads:
The US cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals.
I deny the entry of American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory.
The United States must establish a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.
You and I both knew that wasn’t going to go unremarked by the White House. And it hasn’t. President Trump has fired back, bigly. Here are the results of the FO part of the equation:
And that is just the start. If those repatriation flights are not accepted and damned soon, I expect the pressure to get much more intense.
I get the feeling that the President and his team were waiting for the first country to fuck around like this just so they could lay down a marker about finding out. This reaction is a vivid warning to any other country who was thinking about refusing the repatriation of their citizens who entered the US illegally. Frankly, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
